Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Linux

For some clients, Oracle Linux is used mostly to run Oracle Database as single (whether using ASM - HAS or filesystems) instances and in some cases, it runs Oracle RAC or even to run simply Oracle client to attend to applications or observer for configurations with Oracle Data Guard. It´s also very easy to get support for Oracle Linux.
  • Good performance for Oracle databases.
  • Easy to deploy Oracle databases.
  • It could be installed with Oracle ASMLIB already in it.
  • Contain a tool to prepare server to have Oracle Database installed.
Oracle Linux works very well with Oracle Database and makes it very easy to install, not to mention how good the performance is. It's also very easy to maintain and get support from vendors when needed.
Every time my team needed support for Oracle Linux, it was promptly attended by highly skilled professionals, and the answers to the problems were all very accurate, which helped us a lot in solving the problems we had.

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

Not sure

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

Mostly to run on the Oracle RAC database. It's very well suited and makes the installation very easy. Also, the performance seems to be superior to other Linux versions. I have not tried to install Oracle Linux in order to run other services, so I can not tell if it's good or not for others than Oracle databases.
