Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Linux

We use Oracle Linux 8.5 to host the Oracle Database 19c. The customer is a food company and they have several silos across the South America, so we need an trustable OS with high availability and performance and Oracle Linux is providing this to us.
  • Performance.
  • Easy maintenance and handling.
  • High availability.
  • All in place.
  • SFTP is native.
  • Security is better than other OS.
  • Oracle Database installation is easy.
  • Database works better than on Windows.
  • Availability.
  • Less downtime.
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
Easy to install and maintain the database and also the high availability, as DBA we prefer to use Oracle Linux because its performance together with the DB, with RHEL we could face many issues installing and maintaining the database things that definitely doesn't happen with Oracle Linux, especially for the new version 8.5 that we use recently.
Using Oracle Linux until now we didn't get any issue, that means we didn't raise any SR to Oracle regarding OS issues for out environment, with Windows we face several problems such that I can't describe all here.

Do you think Oracle Linux delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Oracle Linux's feature set?

Yes

Did Oracle Linux live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Oracle Linux go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Oracle Linux again?

Yes

Oracle Linux is better in a situation where we need to automate some processes as for example run stored procedures, transfer files by sftp and with this we can use shell script, don't see any situation where we could not use Oracle Linux, maybe if some application does commands over a different platform as Windows.
