It does its job relentlessly. Not too many bells and whistles, but it does its job well. In my association with these machines (>years) never once did i face a OS issues in our application. Maybe the admin teams were that great but we have recently been trying to movr to a cloud based infrastructure and have run into quite a few issues and downtimes. But then again I have primarily worked on AIX and RHEL and prefer these too over all the other flavours of *nix OS'. One you get a hang of the multitude of commands its a breeze running this OS.

Nothing much OS related. I personally love the seamless architecture but my problem is specifically with some.of the utilities options not having a way to bring things back out of the box like for example crontab -r Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As per my use i don't no any dislike for me but, we are needed to provide update as soon as possible. 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, its an unix like Operating System, nothing new to someone like me, I am. an oracle dba a Middleware admin and I have worked with linux redhat, HPUX and Oracle linux. The only advantage I have detected so far is the nmon utility, its 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 iddle memory for this.

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

AiX it is not only stable but transparent. When there is an issue you know how to identify the cause easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
