Great reliability, focus on uptime. Great filesystem, volume management and SAN compatibility. Binary compatibility for older executables. Great support from IBM, compared to the other prominent UNIX OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AIX is a great, secure Unix OS. With smitty it is easy to use even for novices. The IBM Power CPU is a great processor but I wish AIX could run on Intel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IBM Sales staff is nearly non-existent. They seem to reorganize every 6 months and I can't remember the last time I saw or even got an email from a sales rep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great for uptime and reliability. The ability to shrink filesystem size live without issue makes it a better LVM than Linux in my opinion. IBM's support is pretty good. The granularity of control of resources with IBM's virtualization is much better than other virtualization options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Upfront cost is a higher which means most organizations don't pay for enough hardware to be n+1 It's more of a niche operating system which means most software companies don't support it well or port their application to it with little support or missing features.

Stability of the OS, improvements to features and flexibility to run db intensive, app friendly for our organization. Similar tasks can be scripted and scheduled based on the parameters dictated by the customer. Setting up the OS is straight forward and flexible. We provision systems based on the customer requirements and Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hardware lock in by vendor so I only have one option when making decisions to purchase. Upgrading is limited to new version of the specific system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, it's a Unix-like Operating System, nothing new to someone like me. I am an Oracle DBA, a Middleware admin, and I have worked with Linux Red Hat, HPUX, and Oracle Linux. The only advantage I have detected so far is the nmon utility; it's great for monitoring memory, CPU usage among other important metrics. The LPAR reports on CPU and memory are very good, also the filesystem cache feature is great, it puts the most user files on memory cache, using idle memory for this.

I guess it offers the same as its competitors, Power 8 systems run okay, its performance is great. Actually, I guess I have zero complaints about this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
