Luis Rogelio Toledo Giron Oracle DBA Chose Oracle Solaris Oracle Solaris is Scalable, have a good patching capability and secure by default. You want to have something that's up and running and stable, something that's not going to crash.

Andrew Buckle Senior Infrastructure Analyst Chose Oracle Solaris We make business decisions on a case by case basis but on the whole, our larger mission-critical databases run on Oracle. Helpful?

Again Linux is capable, but Linux is a disruptive technology i.e. it is a "good enough" Unix. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Oracle Solaris
Likelihood to Recommend	Oracle It's good for environments that need to operate 24/7 due to its stability, as I mentioned before. It's also very good for enterprise applications that can't afford unscheduled downtime, for truly high-priority environments. I don't think it would be recommended for small companies with people who have no prior knowledge of the tool, as the learning curve is quite steep.

Pros	Oracle Preferred Operating System to run Oracle Databases Performs well with Java and Oracle applications Great for Virtualizations. Incentivized LUIS TOLEDO GIRON Oracle DBA Read full review
Cons	Oracle It seems that Solaris is becoming an afterthought at Oracle. Oracle should be more vocal in their commitment to Solaris Support Costs Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Oracle You need to take the time to learn it. It is a massive product. Andrew Buckle Senior Infrastructure Analyst Read full review
Support Rating	Oracle The support teams are well trained and responsive. Patches are rolled out regularly and are easy to deploy and backout. Andrew Buckle Senior Infrastructure Analyst Read full review
Implementation Rating	Oracle Stress testing and timing is key. You need test systems that mirror the live environments. User testing must be reflected in peak loads. Andrew Buckle Senior Infrastructure Analyst Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Oracle We used Windows Server quite a bit because of the ease of use for the team, file sharing, Active Directory, and systems integrated with Windows; learning was easier, and the interface was more user-friendly. On the other hand, Oracle stood out for its stability because we provide services that keep environments up and running 24/7. Incentivized RV rubens vilarinho tecnico de informatica Read full review
Return on Investment	Oracle Possibility to migrate old servers protecting previous inversions reduces implementation times and accelerates time to obtain value in the market. Incentivized LUIS TOLEDO GIRON Oracle DBA Read full review
