Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Linux

Oracle Linux is a powerful and robust open-source operating system. It is widely used across the whole organization for replacing the old windows database servers. It is compatible with all the oracle applications and it also offers zero-downtime upgrades. The downloading of the Oracle Linux is very easy and since it is open-source hence it is free to use and update. It comes with additional support from the Oracle community that is very helpful.

I found the features of both the products (CentOS and Oracle Linux) are quite similar but the performance of Oracle Linux is better as compared to centOS since it is a highly optimized operating system. It is the best alternative to centOS since memory management turned out to be excellent along with the security features. It is open-source and is a more stable operating system. It is also best suitable to work with the other Oracle Products.
Oracle Linux completely deserves the full rating since it is a stable platform and even the small or start-ups can go for it because it is an open-source operating system that provides high performance. It provides a breadth of services and is very easy to install. The memory management of this operating system is excellent and it is compatible with other Oracle products as well.

Oracle Linux is a reliable operating system that comes with good technical support but the limitation is that it works well with only Oracle products. Since it is an open-source operating system hence the small business companies or even start-up companies can also go for it. It's best suited for the organizations that use Oracle databases or Oracle products. The best thing about this is the performance that can be achieved by applying a very little amount of effort. Also, the stability of the product is great.
