What do you like best about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server?

Yast is a decent UI for server management. The SUSE and linux documentation is served pretty well. It is a very stable system. Not much down time. Installation and upgrades usually work pretty well with not too much for problems. Mostly, I am a great linux fan and SUSE is a decent distro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server?

Yast could manage a multitude of things that it does not. Some applications have obscure bugs that take a while to find and fix and/or work around. Most of the problems I've encountered are difficulties with linux not SUSE based. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:

Look around at the different distros and pick one to suit your needs. SUSE works well for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

The primary packages we use are survey tabulation, statistical analysis, and the LAMP stack. These allow us to conduct large market and employee research studies. SUSE helps me to keep this software and my servers running well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server?

The GNOME experience for GUI is excellent. Also the zypper repositories management is straight forward. I've used it for MicroStrategy server and it was a good experience overall. SUSE joined the openstack project. It is healthy to have another player on GNU Opensource disputing the throne of Redhat. Using Redhat content delivery is also a great feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server?

If you are more familiar with RedHat/CentOS you find some annoying differences that you need to get used to (E.G. apache2 vs httpd). Also the GUI experience is resource intensive. But overall no big complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:

No advise, but personally I'd rather work with Red Hat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've implemented MicroStrategy Intelligence Server, Apache & Tomcat with mod_jk and a custom JSTL Based app for authentication againts Teradata sources. We implemented multiple environments for dev, prod, uat, etc on virtual servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server?

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is designed for enterprise servers, mainframes and workstations. But this can also be installed on desktops. I have a VM running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server that i use as sandbox machine. Installation is easy and can be made automated using Auto YaST package utility.

SUSE has grown over years and has made it's way battling big rivals like RHEL. I have been working with Linux distributions since a decade now. I was not a big fan of SUSE in initial years but now that i use it, i am satisfied that we are using SUSE in our project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server?

Not much to dislike about SUSE, But sometimes it's not straight forward to find exact solutions on online forums. Also, expect to face some difficulties if you want to use windows utilities on SUSE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server as OS for our virtual infrastructure containing around 300 virtual machines and 12 physical servers. The installation using Auto YaST was amazing and patching process is quite straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
