Likelihood to Recommend Oracle Linux is a very good and useful combination of the stability of Rhel and support for Oracle Databases. Our organisation uses an application and a database combo that we offer to the client but after the inclusion of Oracle Linux into our infrastructure, the provision and the operation cost are reduced significantly. So I would recommend using Oracle Linux when you are using multiple on-premises DB servers and want to move to a more secure, organised, and fast operating system.

It integrates well with third party components like mod_cluster and supports popular Java EE web-based frameworks such as Spring, Angular JS, jQuery Mobile, and Google Web Toolkit.
Read full review Pros We use Oracle Linux distro for every customer. The OS is very easy and absolutely free to develop/host and update our customers' apps and data across the globe. I personally use it in my lab to practice and test some personal stuff We have Oracle Linux database, WebLogic, and e-business suite hosted on Oracle Linux. It is used across our whole organization in running critical applications. It is robust, easy to manage and administer, with rock-solid stability and very minimal server reboots or performance issues. I would highly recommend Oracle Linux over other operating systems. Oracle Linux is trusted in high-volume, transactional, mission-critical production IT environments. Oracle’s Linux support is relied upon for applications that require continuous or near-continuous availability Application performance in general was enhanced as a result of the migration to Oracle Linux from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Oracle Linux-based VMs are used in our case for hosting a spark-based cluster for processing big data-based workloads. Those VMs have better security configurations and are patched. It has built-in installed packages which come in handy for a developer to start the development activity for the project. We are using Oracle Linux as our primary Linux distribution deployed for our customers, but also for testing purposes on multiple test and UAT environments. Currently, it is used mainly by our department. We aim to provide commercial technical support for customers for our products, and thanks to the Oracle Linux Support program which covers Oracle Linux, we are getting assistance if needed. I work across many different types of organizations. In some cases, Oracle Linux is being used for all database servers across the entire organization. In some cases, it is being selectively rolled out to replace legacy Unix systems. Plus in a few isolated cases, I've helped to replace Windows database servers with Oracle Linux. The common theme across all these different types of organizations is that they want the best Linux for running Oracle, which is pre-tuned and optimized as well as well supported by the database vendor. Oracle Linux wins hands down on these points. Read full review MOD_CLUSTER integration. JBoss EAP integrates pretty well with mod_cluster. This is an intelligent load balancer especially useful in highly clustered environments. Supports enterprise-grade features such as high availability clustering, distributed caching, messaging etc. Supports deployment in on-premise, virtual and hybrid cloud environments.

Embedded IPA Solutions to manage large number of Oracle Linux Systems. Simple commands for LUN management. Proactive SELinux policy violation message to administrator's mailbox. Read full review Jboss CLI is a great tool but we had trouble using it to get values that are displayed on Jboss GUI. It also has limitations parsing the applications.xml files and we had to use a mix of jboss-cli and linux bash commands to automate certain application administrative tasks. JBoss doesn't really provides performance tuning recommendations. It would have been nice if it could learn from the current demand vs current settings for things like connection pool, server configurations, garbage collection etc. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We are planning to migrate away from Jboss to
Tomcat as Jboss has shown not interest in supporting OSGi which is heavily used at our shop
Read full review Usability JBoss overall is easy to use. The installation and deployment of applications are quick. Documentations and support are also readily available.
Read full review Performance Usually, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is good at performance and well suited for high traffic Java EE-based applications, but we have faced hard times performance tuning it for our specific needs. The product would be nicer if they would add a performance diagnostic and recommendations feature to it.
Read full review Support Rating One of the most robust Linux distributions is Redhat, its forks have given rise to infinite business models and distributions that have defined the market. Oracle Linux, obviously developed by the tech giant Oracle, is constantly releasing a flexible and incredibly stable product while adding its own bunch of new features. Among the most notable is the "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel" (UEK).
Read full review Fast response.
Read full review Alternatives Considered The Oracle Linux definitely comes on the top when it comes down to being easily available as its platform-independent. This is where the masses lie as we have moved to a hybrid work environment where keeping everyone on the same devices is no more required. Linux stands out as it allows the industry workers to implement BYOD in all environments. Software as a service is truly done by Linux. I don’t want to switch to other platforms anymore.
Read full review We selected JBoss because of compatibility with EJB's. We currently are trying to reduce our footprint and will highly consider using Tomcat.
Read full review Return on Investment Oracle Linux provides technical advances that Solaris UNIX does not while saving millions of dollars. Oracle Linux supports automated patching and easy maintenance, allowing less downtime for users and developers. Oracle Linux is recommended for applications already on Oracle Database and using other Oracle products and software. Oracle Linux is a secure, stable, and high-performance operating system that allows hybrid or cloud platforms. Read full review Improved delivery timelines due to easy out of the box setup. It is a cheap subscription-based/open-source Java EE-based application server. This reduces the overall cost of delivery. Read full review ScreenShots
