    iOS works well when you want solid control over institutionally-owned devices. This generally works best when you play by Apple's rules and buy through them and use Apple School/Business Manager - so if you're going for a BYOD model, this probably isn't the way to do [it]. There is a wide variety of management tools, but bear the costs of each in mind.

    We use it for every linux service we need to have running. It really works great and is easily manageable with the SUSE Manager, which helps a lot with the updating process. Although it is not stressfull on the CMD itself, it really does simplify things. Besides that, we are really happy with working with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

    Pros

    • Extraordinary compared to other OS on the lookout for the mobile devices. In the event that somebody needs an ad free and secure insight.
    • Apple iOS give you heaps of inbuilt elements by which there is no need of any outsider applications.

    SUSE
    • Consistently performs well across various CPU architectures.
    • It's very well supported both by the parent company, as well as SAP and other third-party companies.
    • It is upgradeable across versions. We've performed upgrades from version 10 to 11 and from 11 to 12 without any major issues.

    Cons
    Apple
    • Replacing the battery is hard and shouldn't be.
    • I know it is for security, but the ability to remote control iOS and help users would be great.
    • Security can be tight with the iCloud and passcodes and you can brick a phone if you are not careful.

    SUSE
    • The support window for service packs after a new SP is released is too short.
    • Community engagement is low.
    • There are times when supported packages fall too far behind and create compatibility issues with applications. The Open Build Service usually provides a way around this, though.

    Usability
    Apple
    In all likelihood, common users will either already have experience with iOS on their iPhones, or will pick it up quickly. The UI is generally simple and mostly visual. Power users, on the other hand, may feel constrained by the inherent limitations built-in. Root access, terminal commands, and deep customization are not really to be found here.

    We've been using this OS for about 8 years in a productive environment. During this time, we have never run into any problems that stopped or impacted our production environment. We have been able to solve any problem we ran into using either common sense, suse documentation or suse support.

    Lots of help articles online for just about everything under the sun. I have never personally had to engage Apple's support team to comment on their helpfulness.

    Support personnel are helpful and fairly fast to bring resolution to non-emergency issues. Patches are created and posted in a timely fashion. We so far have not had any major problems that needed support

    The software updates have a wide coverage for iPhone models and I love updating software for additional features and/or improved software stability. It has also genuine feel of the phones they offer. Easier to set up and use. It helps me do more productive tasks. If I have the latest phone model, I would have additional software advantages that are already included in my OS.

    We went straight to SLES when we initially started migrating oracle to hana since at that time, HANA came on a pre-installed server that had to be purchased from an official vendor, and SLES was the only allowed OS. We stuck with SLES after we became certified to do our own installations because so far, SLES was a good fit for us.

    Return on Investment
    Apple
    • Positive as far as cellular usage, phone tracking, and security for our users.
    • Negative as far as battery replacement on older phones.
    • Costs would be similar to android phones so security/simplicity is our main point here.

    • Compared to others, use is more stable and scalable; easy to manage.
    • The administration tools are very useful in helping the staff performance.
    • SLES proved to be a very extendable product, supporting all of our infrastructure.
    • The major reason I chose to use the product was the extensive enterprise peripheral support.
