"We use Oracle Linux every day OCI runs exclusively on Oracle Linux "
What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

Oracle Support for OEL is good but you have to get the right person on the other end of the ticket. We sometimes have to waste time while we wait to get to the right person. That right person is knowledgeable for our specific problem. I do like the dedicated support team we have from the account people that want to make our project a success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

Hard to get to a knowlegable person. The first people that get assigned a ticket seem to have a script for what they require you to collect and it feels like they invent things if you provide what they were looking for in advance. lie the SOSReport that every single ticket needs. They also require all the OCI ID's for every instance and ticket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Oracle Linux: High performance and stability in operation."
What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

Oracle Linux is a replica of Red Hat Linux, a well-known version of Linux, and is very stable. This helps protect systems that are quite error free. The software is very helpful and I like the cloud-centric interface, which increases the connectivity between them. It is a scalable system and is compatible with many hardware brands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

There is a lack of integration with Microsoft and Mac networks to share network services. Add-ons for popular tracking tools such as Oracle and Zabbix are insufficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the first instance, perfect to work in conjunction with other oracle technologies, whether database or applications, create a complete oracle environment.

Compatible with Intel processors, and virtualizations under environments of other operating systems such as Windows Server, great support from Oracle, modern kernel with better performance. Easy to use, compatible with a large number of different technologies at the hardware level. In summary very good distribution of linux to be used under business environments.

I do not have any problem with the operating system, it has fulfilled its functionality correctly, another excellent distribution of linux, it is required to have basic / intermediate knowledge in linux according to the purpose of the installation of this operating system, personal or business, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
