Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Linux

In my organization, we already use Oracle Linux, as experiments, for projects with Zabbix, Grafana, Syslog server, IPAM, and Elastic Stack. The goal was a closer approach to Oracle Linux and to use it as an alternative to replacing CentOs. The documentation is very well prepared and we had no difficulties in making these POCs.
  • Zabbix
  • Grafana
  • Syslog
  • The limited knowledge base on the Oracle website sometimes could make it difficult for tshoot.
  • The user's interface could be improved to attract more user's engagement.
  • The Oracle Linux, needs to offer support to more packages.
  • Reduction of license pricing
  • Less investment with trainning of technicall team

As I mentioned in another question I believe the scenarios that Oracle Linux is well suited are using as a distribution to install apps such as Zabbix, Grafana, Syslog Servers, Elastic Stack, IPAM, and other's administrative tools for sysadmins. The scenarios where Oracle is less appropriate could be associated with user GUI, for example. I believe the user's GUI could be improved.
