Managed platform has reduced our operations workload and delivers faster cluster startups
I wouldn't say it's specifically an Oracle Linux pro, but when using Oracle Linux with a Kubernetes engine, it provides you with all the necessary libraries that it needs for a startup. This means quicker startup time and quicker joining to the cluster. It's just fast when you use Oracle Linux because it's optimized for your OKE engine. When I mention quicker startup time and easier joining to the cluster, it means you have a pretty good startup when you want to scale, you don't have to wait longer times just for your nodes to come up. When you have your traffic spiking, you don't want to wait that two to three minutes extra for a node to join the cluster, so that's where you have that advantage. And even for the customers when we give them access, it's a better startup since it's optimized and has all the necessary libraries. When I mention our workload is reduced because it's managed and optimized, it is approximately 80 to 90 percent of our workload is reduced because Kubernetes also releases frequent updates. You don't have to migrate to a new one; when you're migrating, it's pretty quick. All the security patches are handled by Oracle. The newer updates are provided by Oracle, and you don't have to test it. You will need to do some rounds of testing, but way less than managing your own Linux.
Natalia Munera - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at Autonomic Mind
Automation has saved time and improved focus on strategic work
I think that when you are running CRM and at the same time Zoho Analytics, and at the same time Zoho Recruit, the apps get very slow. So I think Zoho has to improve on that, to ensure that the velocity or the speed is fast, even when you are using a lot of apps at the same time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I estimate that we are saving 50 to 60 percent after switching to Oracle Linux, as Windows is not as secure and is more costly."
"The most valuable feature is that it's supported by Oracle with a kernel called Unbreakable Linux, which I believe is being used by most customers."
"I like that it's very stable and lightweight and that it requires very little resources."
"From my standpoint, Oracle Linux is more compatible with the latest open-source software than other operating systems like Ubuntu Linux and CentOS Linux."
"Oracle Linux has positively impacted my organization because it is a great tool and great software."
"The advantages of Oracle Linux are that it is secure and provides end-to-end support from Oracle, from the operating system to the application ERP."
"In the 10 years I’ve been using the product, I’ve had to open zero product defects as it has functioned in every way we needed it to."
"Most people see Linux as just Linux, however, in Oracle Database shops, Oracle Linux tends to have a little bit higher level of trust among DBAs as the more reliable solution."
"Zoho One is a good application; I think there are a lot of tools that help you to make your work faster, you can automate a lot of operative work, so you can save time in making detailed and operative activities and just focus on the strategic."
"Zoho One is fully customizable—in Zoho One, you get more than 45 applications, which include inventory management, accounting management, and CRM, as well as Zoho Creator, which allows you to create custom applications."
 

Cons

"Oracle Linux documentation should be enhanced."
"Improve performance and integration with new releases without affecting the ability and stability of the system."
"The security could improve in the solution."
"Performance can always be improved."
"The support process is time-consuming as it involves several steps."
"We were using Red Hat Linux. We went to Oracle because of licensing problems. We went back to Red Hat because of support problems."
"With many other operating systems, including this one, I would love to have the ability to upgrade the kernel in place."
"Dynamic tracing could be improved."
"The only area in Zoho One that can be improved is the support."
"I think that when you are running CRM and at the same time Zoho Analytics, and at the same time Zoho Recruit, the apps get very slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a yearly license, and I think Oracle charges too much."
"The licensing for this solution is based on the number of calls running Oracle databases, and are purchased either annually, or every three years."
"Nowadays, Oracle is very open toward price negotiation; they negotiate well with their clients"
"Oracle Linux license and support are far more expensive than Red Hat or SUSE."
"The pricing and licensing are good."
"The solution is less expensive than Solaris and allows for use of existing hardware."
"The licensing is expensive."
"The price of Oracle Linux could be less expensive for those who are running a small freelance company, such as I do. We use the solution fully but the income that you're receiving is slow."
