I love how easy it is to adapt to our clients' different software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Perhaps at times their customer support wasn't as good, but today I consider it one of the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the simple configuration of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server great and that all packages are provided directly through the repositories. The installer works very well, which makes the initial setup easy. Additionally, SAP runs without interruption and the databases have the best performance with SLES.

the dependencies of packages are sometimes too rigid Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the reliability that SUSE Linux Enterprise Server provides us, as we commonly do not have problems due to the operating system itself. I also appreciate the patching facilities it offers with SUSE Manager and live patching, which allow us to have no interruptions in our systems. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy for our banking entity, which made the installation process easier by reducing the list of necessary minimum configurations and libraries.

The monitoring of memory in use and the paging of applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is our leading operating system for Linux systems. I appreciate the extensive core for our system landscape and the long support periods of the OS versions. The simplicity of the system is a great advantage, and we can adapt it very well to our needs. The patch management works great. We have also had good experiences with SUSE's support, which made the initial setup very easy for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The package and repository handling is, for example, very complex. The community is not as large as with similar products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server stands out thanks to its long lifecycle, built‑in hardening tools, and automated patching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the moment, I don’t dislike anything about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. The system meets my expectations, and I’m currently not missing any features or functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use SLES due to the long support cycles for the major versions, the well-tested software, and the reliability during upgrades. Besides Debian GNU/Linux, 70% of our servers run on SLES, and the servers can be easily administered via Ansible. The contact with customer support takes place in English, which is positive, but in my opinion, it should continue to be in German. So far, there has been no challenge that could not be solved. I would also like to particularly emphasize that SUSE is not rigid in its development, but with the new version 16, it cuts off old habits and removes tools like yast, apparmor, and salt from the standard distribution in favor of their better counterparts. The offer of the SUSE open build service for creating, testing, and publishing software packages is also worth mentioning. It can be used freely, and with it, missing packages can be created by oneself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The partial absence of, in my opinion, important packages like mydumper or hstr. However, it should be mentioned that there is the Open Build Service from SUSE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve had a very positive experience with SUSE because it’s a highly robust operating system.

Its stability, reliability, and enterprise-grade capabilities, make it an excellent choice for organizations that need a solid platform.

In addition, the support is very professional and efficient whenever it’s needed. I know that SUSE has recently improved its support service through the SCC portal, which makes the overall experience even stronger and more reliable.

Currently, SUSE 15 SP7 offers a very high LTS (Long-Term Support), which greatly simplifies the server lifecycle in terms of updates, allowing organizations to stay up-to-date without having to perform major release upgrades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had occasionally encountered situations where a package from the official repositories (PHP, for example) was behind the latest active version. Although these packages were maintained with security updates, I had to keep an application running without being able to upgrade to the latest version due to the repository limitations.

Earlier versions had a short lifecycle, but this has been resolved with SUSE 15 SP7, which now offers a much longer Long-Term Support (LTS), simplifying server maintenance and updates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is how easy it is to use and implement, even in complex enterprise environments. The YaST tool simplifies administration and configuration, saving time for daily operations. I work with SLES everyday for running business-critical applications like SAP, and it consistently delivers stability and performance. The platform comes with a rich set of enterprise-grade features while still allowing smooth integration with cloud, container, and hybrid environments. Another big plus is the excellent customer support and clear documentation, which ensures issues are resolved quickly and confidently. Overall, SLES offers the perfect balance of usability, functionality, and reliability for enterprise workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is very reliable, some areas could be improved. Certain configurations can feel complex for new users, and official packages or updates sometimes lag behind community versions. Licensing and subscription costs may also feel higher compared to other distributions. However, these are minor compared to the overall stability, support, and enterprise readiness SLES provides.

As someone who has little experience with a Linux operating system, I find it easy to operate. The product has very good support website where you can find everything you need to get your server up and running as well as to troubleshoot issues that you may encounter with upgrading your system.

To be frank, I can't think of anything to dislike about SUSE. They have very good after sales support and they really reward customers well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the good support, reliability, and stability of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. The design choices are also solid. Additionally, I value the btrfs snapshots and the fact that it is binary identical to openSUSE Leap. The initial installation of SLES was also very straightforward.
