"Review on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server"

4/5

What do you like best about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server?

Support for various hardware architectures, virtualisation, containerisation, and cloud computing are just a few of the many features that SLES offers. It is simple to deploy, configure, and maintain since it has a comprehensive set of system administration, monitoring, and automation tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server?

One possible negative of SLES is that it is not a free and open-source operating system like many other Linux variants. SLES requires a paid membership for business use. However, SUSE provides a free community version named openSUSE. Some businesses that favour open-source software and are on a tight budget may find this a limiting issue.

Compared to other Linux distributions like Ubuntu or CentOS, SLES may not have as large of a user base or third-party software support. Nonetheless, SUSE offers thorough certifications and support services for their operating system, which might be helpful for business clients.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server's applicability mostly depends on the unique demands and requirements of a company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Delivering a stable, dependable, and secure platform for mission-critical applications and services, with little downtime and high availability, which may boost operational efficiency and productivity.

Supporting virtualization and containerization technologies, which may assist organisations in lowering hardware costs, increasing resource utilisation, and enabling more flexible and scalable IT infrastructure.

Offering a stable and secure environment for hosting SAP applications, which may assist organisations in optimising their SAP installations, improving performance, and lowering costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Node and cluster server"

4.5/5

What do you like best about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server?

SUSE is perfect for clustering and data processing; unlike other competitors, this option is already managed as standard for processes that require high computing.

Managing several servers at the same time requires a successful configuration and high-performance cables; with SUSE it is possible to perform these functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server?

I have compatibility problems with previous versions of SUSE and RPM to integrate into my service; although the technical support solves me or looks for alternatives, I always have to resort to this service, wasting time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Data management and complex equation processes at the University to demonstrate theories with multiple servers working simultaneously; with SUSE I am able to unite this power and use the required response in less time.

Calculate the proximity of prime numbers and equations with infinite decimals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"R&R!: Robust 'n' Reliable!"

5/5

What do you like best about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server?

SuSE is a well known actor inside Linux world, but I think is heavily underrated when it comes to "Enterprise Linux".

Since I began working with its products I could discover the great work and well-doing they put in its products.

Robustness and reliability are at the very core of SLES.

Installation is also a good point with options to fit any requirement.

Open-source solution with a huge community that helps to find solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server?

If you come from another distribution, maybe zypper, despite being well superior to others, can be a bit confusing.

Also, for advanced utils, documentation could be a bit better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
