"Good user experience"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

-The best is the ability to learn new shortcuts and quick startup

-the kernel is very lightweight and can be further lightened by compiling what you need

-high security of connections with various firewalls

-easy user management and access control Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

If I had to say something I don't like, it is the scalability of the system, although it is true that it remains licensed Red Hat, it has several limitations and that spoils the user experience a bit. Otherwise, it is a robust operating system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's Oracle's RedHat"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

Being an Oracle database Solution Architect since 10 years, i have a preference to use Oracle products if they are really good. Oracle Linux is very well suited for Oracle products like Oracle EBS Suite and Oracle Database. Although, you can run these products on other supported OS like RedHat but certain features like smart scan for Exadata is only supported on Oracle Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

The slow GUI. If you happen to use GUI interface of Oracle Linux, it's slow sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Stability and security of Oracle Linux"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

I like how flexible it is to create commands and use them in configuring and using Oracle Database 10. I tried using Oracle 10g on Windows, but it's not as flexible as Oracle Solaris. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

The aspect of learning so many commands can be tiring; its hard to work around some concepts if you are not familiar with the necessary commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and Usuable"

5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

It's relatively simplicity for use, practicality and utilitarianism. Its pretty easy to get things done with it, but it’s not that exciting to use at all. Very useful user controls that can make it practical and helpful for getting your work done. It's useful for the professional work setting, for sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

It's often very slow to use, and has a very displeasing aesthetics appearance. It’s not fun to use. It’s bland and boring. It just brings down my mood. I start to feel really down and depressed some times when using it because it's just not fun at all and it just makes me feel like I'm trapped in a boring office building in the 1980's while using it! Needs improvement aesthetically. These things matter too!!! Practicality doesn't have to be everything! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Linux:

It is used for emails and correspondence with students. The software is very helpful, and I like its cloud-centered interface that improves the interconnectivity of it. It's very practical and useful for work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Linux solving and how is that benefiting you?

Use it for work, but it’s not good for much else beyond just a professional setting. That's what it is best for. Beyond that, it's not aesthetically pleasing at all and I wouldn't use it if I had a choice on what to use. There's way better options out there that you would feel better while using than this, but it's very practical and great for when you're at work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Workstation"

5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

I installed Oracle Linux as an alternative to RHEL and CentOS for workstation purposes. I like 100% binary compatibility, kernel that is much newer than in CentOS, overall quality and that it is possible to run Oracle as desktop not only server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

Because kernel is very fresh I think that there should be an option to install latest GUI like KDE Plasma 5, most people run Oracle without gui as a server but for desktop I do't think that It will ruin the stability. It would be nice to have older and newer options. It will be good for newcomers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Oracle Linux"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

Oracle Linux has been around for more than 10 years, but has been gaining market share and the company says it has over 14,000 customers world-wide.Part of its popularity may be the way it plays well within an Oracle environment and its full support for Red Hat Linux, on which it is based.This interoperability theme is carried out through its support for the Open Stack tools for building cloud-computing platforms and its support for two different kernels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

The best PRO for Linux is cost and the fact Oracle is developed on Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Linux solving and how is that benefiting you?

The company's Oracle Linux Support program aims to provide commercial technical support, covering Oracle Linux and existing RHEL or CentOS installations but without any certification from the former (i.e. without re-installation or re-boot clarification needed As of 2016 Oracle Linux had over 15,000 customers subscribed to the support program.
