Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Linux

In my current organization, I am the lead consultant for a Healthcare Client in the UK. So, we had to design, create and implement a top-class robust solution for the Infrastructure implementation. We chose Oracle Linux as an operating system as it is the best out there. Most of our java based applications which are very critical in Hospital management like Prescription generation, audit, Salary management, Staff management, and a lot more are built on top of Oracle Linux as it provides capabilities of RHEL along with the usability of Oracle databases. The blazing fast speed of oracle Linux handles our server load fluently and helps us run a smooth operation -24*7.
  • Oracle Linux helps run native databases on the same operating systems that they were developed on.
  • Docker and Kubernetes support.
  • Oracle Linux is so powerful that you can patch the vulnerabilities faster than 74% of the organizations.
  • The support provided by oracle guys is one of the best.
  • All the traditional Linux commands are supported.
  • The limited knowledge base on the Oracle website sometimes makes it difficult for troubleshooting.
  • Some bugs are observed while working with the GUI . That needs to be fixed urgently.
  • There is a scope of improvement in kernel-level configuration.
  • The license cost is little on the higher side.
  • Very Good SLA and support
  • Drives revenue growth
  • The downtime when we first implemented Oracle Linux as almost Zero.
Both of the alternatives provided a strong competition but Oracle Linux emerged as the absolute winner as the feature to update the kernel without downtime is a game-changer and the level of support provided is at par the market standards. Also, stability was a key decisive factor for us as Oracle Linux provides stability and users were quickly able to adapt to the system. This increased our productivity to a great extent.
The humungous support followed by Knowledge articles, playbooks, and Community makes an exciting product to be with. Apart from the support plans. The response time is also very good. I have experienced friendly support engineers that helped me come out of big production issues with their swift response and help. Way to Go !! Cheers.

As the Healthcare domain is very customer-centric and demanding, the application should be always available with almost zero downtime to cater to the needs of our huge customer base. This was highly achieved when we brought Oracle Linux into our infrastructure base. The speed, agility, and support made our customers satisfied and we got a satisfaction index score (SIS) of 9/10 from the customer and peers.
