What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

Not only does it arrive with pre-configured and pre-optimized packages for a direct installation of the database, but it is a product that is already within the Oracle architecture, which makes integration with other platforms of the same type more straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

Perhaps customer support should focus more on end-to-end service than on technical knowledge about the product. From the user's point of view, I would say that increasing storage would make space management much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The total ISO size is large, needs more time to download. More easy features to handle API calls need to be added. More mobile-friendliness is required so more easily can be integrated with mobile apps also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
