It does not claim 100% bug-to-bug compatibility with RHEL. If one wants a support contract, then it is chargeable. Moreover, it uses its own UEK rather than standard one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I personally feel it is much more better than redhat linux. It has all the falvour what you have seen in typical linux. And its cheaper with better support quality. All the commands are very similar to redhat linux plus they are offering this on oracle cloud and ready to move our existing physical servers on oracle cloud, which is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing is there that i dislike. Product is good. Sometimes it is hard to get hold of support team then we have to escalate it to the sales team to get our issue resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is fast, easy and intuitive to use. If you are using another linux distro on cloud, you should definitely try this one. I was able to get comfortable within a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since I use it on the cloud (console), it can be frustrating (like every console). The documentation is awesome and helps with those little issues you face while you are still learning how to use the console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oracle Linux is one of the best alternatives for CentOS, which was discontinued last year.

We can easily convert the existing CentOS workload to Oracle Linux seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't see anything to dislike about the current Oracle Linux OS, which met all production workloads.

If the basis support price is reduced, then it would be very competitive in the market; Oracle may consider this . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has all the features required for operating any application on your laptop or desktop. The best thing about it is that it is virus free and has all the updates required when wanted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some applications do not work on it entirely as on windows; for example and music software Audacity do not work the way it works on windows. This needs to be upgraded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
