What do you dislike about SUSE Multi-Linux Manager?

Sometimes you need to have separate instances of SUMA/MLM to patch old linux because they are not compatible (Suse 11.4, 12.5, 15.x, etc). Newer versions of SUMA/MLM are not compatible with old ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for your review.

We drop support for some older OSes from time to time, especially when they are out of General support - and for SUSE systems when LTSS ends.

Compliance Dashboard is missing for leadership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stefan Behlert of SUSE Multi-Linux Manager

Thanks for your review!

The missing compliance dashboard is on the roadmap. The current way to achieve this is thru the reporting and the prometheus/grafana abilities.

But it's understood that you would like to have something directly included. What would you like to see there, as compliance is something slightly different from company to company? What configuration levels and option would you need?

"Use it on an almost daily basis"

4.5/5

What do you like best about SUSE Multi-Linux Manager?

SUSE Manager – SUMA is a powerful tool for patching, software management, and overall management, on a variety of Linux distributions. It gives a very good overview of the systems in terms of compliance, but also a granular level of software access on the individual systems. It is relatively easy to form an overview of high priority vulnerabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mangment & Orchestration tool for Linux platforms"

4/5

What do you like best about SUSE Multi-Linux Manager?

It's good for managing the Linux operating systems, its salt management tools support multiple flavors like RedHat, Cent OS and even Ubuntu (Debian based).

Most of the orchestration tools are limited to their specific distribution only (mostly their own). Still, the Suse's Manager can deal with a variety of distributions like suse , ubuntu etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SUSE Multi-Linux Manager?

Doesnt supports cloud public cloud-native integrations. You have to use it as BYOL in market place. Such as in Azure you have to use the suse image from the marketplace and then have to install it in the same VPC.

Also, it would be good if it has some competitor features like well-architected reviews and security assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
