"Easy, Fast and secure"

5/5

What do you like best about Sailfish OS?

It's different and easy to use. Switching from android was not difficult. Kind of brings a change after using both iOS and Android. Somehow felt more secure using Saillfish OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Copying data from other OS like Android to Sailfish. Notifications handling was not the best experience. Switching between apps can be made much better as well as photos application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sailfish is a great mobile operating system for tinkering with, but isn’t as compatible as Android."

3.5/5

What do you like best about Sailfish OS?

SailfishOS is free and open-source, and greatly resembles Linux. It’s split up in packages and all of the core updates get pushed off via Git. The OS uses a beautiful UI, that’s fluid and fast. It’s great to code for, with a bunch of libraries and tools to even edit the OS itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sailfish OS?

The things that make Sailfish great end up being its downfall as well. It’s split into packages, (Android app support being one of them), so you cannot ensure that your end users will have the required configuration that your app or service requires. Its UI is great, but limiting at the same time. It’s not supported and services that require Android as it’s main system (such as some of Google’s developer services) don’t work at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sailfish OS:

While Sailfish is a notch above it’s competitors, the open-source Linux-based mobile OS market, it still suffers from the same issues that similar products, like Tizen, those being lack of support in the mainstream market, and lack of an active userbase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sailfish OS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sailfish is good for initial testing of apps or projects that you want to roll out, as it lets you have much more precise control over the app’s behavior, down to the kernel level, but as a platform to deploy on globally, it’s still cut short by the lack of compatibility and the lack of an active userbase.
