OpenText Hybrid Workspaces vs. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

It is very well suited to large, diverse organizations looking to quickly deploy applications virtually to its employee base. They give immense control to system
Admins and allow users to more easily install the applications they need. They also allow users quick access to their applications, even during migration.

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.

• It allowed us to isolate applications so that they did not adversely interact with other applications.
• They served as a virtual machine while we managed the migration to a new OS.
• They helped us decrease malicious attacks because web browsers operating within a container could be terminated if an attack occurred.
• They allowed us to quickly deploy applications across a diverse, global organization.

• 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.

• Container access and restrictions were a bit cumbersome to set up.
• We would frequently have users report containers failing to work properly due to file size.
• There was very little documentation we could provide to users during onboarding

• 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.

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.

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

Third party training was fast but mostly unnecessary as we were already Unix trained and Linux familiar

We went with Desktop Containers because we had a former colleague recommend it. However, we do feel we made the right choice for our organization.

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.

We have successfully deployed on physical servers, VMs and in cloud all over the globe from templates of our own design

• We were able to migrate to a different OS 50% more quickly than in the past.
• We saw a dramatic decrease in malicious attacks while using this product.
• Our users were able to more quickly get access to the products they needed.
• We no longer needed to worry about applications not playing nice with others since they were isolated

• 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.
