Overall Satisfaction with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

My company runs the full SAP workload on SLES and SLES for SAP. In total, we have about 120 running SUSE instances. We run our SAP application servers on SLES and our HANA databases on SLES for SAP.
  • very stable product
  • excellent package selection
  • up to date repository's
  • top notch support department
  • Sometimes good packes from openSUSE leap don't make it into the SLES repos
  • The documentation is good, but sometimes some topics are missing or a work in progress
  • good price/quality ratio
  • good support
  • stable product
  • good documentation
We went straight to SLES when we initially started migrating oracle to hana since at that time, HANA came on a pre-installed server that had to be purchased from an official vendor, and SLES was the only allowed OS. We stuck with SLES after we became certified to do our own installations because so far, SLES was a good fit for us.

SLES is a good fit for running supported enterprise applications like SAP, HANA, oracle,.. We use it to run all our SAP workloads, and so far everything has worked great. All libraries are right in the repository, all documentation is correct and the support answers really fast in case you have problems.
