"Great Solaris Operating System"

5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Solaris?

Oracle Solaris Operating System is a very powerful OS. We have used it since a very early version of Solaris 7. With each higher and newer OS, it is always 100 backward compatible. The latest OS now is Solaris 11. It runs great, and the security, recommended, and cluster patches come out quarterly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Solaris?

It seems like Oracle is getting out of developing Oracle Solaris OS. 2031 is probably the last year they maintain it, and with 2034 would be the last year for support. It would be interesting to see if it becomes a free community OS support or some vendor would pick it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"oracle solaris review"

0.5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Solaris?

It finally now has a decent gui with Solaris 11. Many many different repositories to choose from for opensource packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Solaris?

Not enough help on google for issues, as it is a licensed product. Oracle support is not helpful without warranty. If your company can not pay for support, then do no get solaris. Many many better solaris products out there. Solaris is by far the worst unix os. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
