"Virus Free Operating System. " Must Use" "
What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

Previously we are using different famous OS but some serious issue we are facing main performance and virus. Additionally, previous OS was much expensive to compare with Linux so as per budgeting we huritn a lot more than expected. Control and OS management very hand taking activity but in Linux, this help our infrastructure and DBA team a lot. They are more comfortable to manage this OS. As we are leading courier company in Pakistan so software are our back bone so our development team required fast performance and virus free server always which help business accordingly. As we are using large oracle database and Linux is excellent collaboration with this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

Configuration and installation is not much easy to compare others. its taken too much time to configure but once it get done then there will be no issue. Sometime support may taken so much time too due to every time you have to create SR in vendor website to resolve this issue and they may taken long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Must Have OS Choice"
What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

I work across many different types of organizations. In some cases, Oracle Linux is being used for all database servers across the entire organization. In some cases, it is being selectively rolled out to replace legacy Unix systems. Plus in a few isolated cases, I've helped to replace Windows database servers with Oracle Linux. The common theme across all these different types of organizations is that they want the best Linux for running Oracle, which is pre-tuned and optimized as well as well supported by the database vendor. Oracle Linux wins hands down on these points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

The operating system could be improved in its compatibility with older applications.

There are fewer users of Oracle Linux than other versions, potentially making it harder to obtain outside support.

Sometimes customer support from Oracle can be challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
