    Android is great if you are on a budget and can't purchase other operating systems for mobile devices. It is also great for installing third-party apps if you find one you like. Although there is a lot of customization options available, this may cause some users to become frustrated if they are unfamiliar with this system.

    SUSE
    We use it for every linux service we need to have running. It really works great and is easily manageable with the SUSE Manager, which helps a lot with the updating process. Although it is not stressfull on the CMD itself, it really does simplify things. Besides that, we are really happy with working with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

    • It's very well supported both by the parent company, as well as SAP and other third-party companies.
    • It is upgradeable across versions. We've performed upgrades from version 10 to 11 and from 11 to 12 without any major issues.

    • The support window for service packs after a new SP is released is too short.
    • Community engagement is low.
    • There are times when supported packages fall too far behind and create compatibility issues with applications. The Open Build Service usually provides a way around this, though.

    Usability
    Google
    It is very easy to use and the customer user interface is very smooth and logical. Rarely do applications crash and need reinstallation. The app store is secure enough to prevent malicious software from being advertised and potentially downloaded. Rebooting devices does not have to be a regular occurrence so this allows for high availability.

    We've been using this OS for about 8 years in a productive environment. During this time, we have never run into any problems that stopped or impacted our production environment. We have been able to solve any problem we ran into using either common sense, suse documentation or suse support.

    There are a lot of people that use Android around the world. There are many forums and blogs that you can read about Android. It is too easy to find information about the system and for developers, it is too easy to create an app. For me, it is one of the best operating systems.

    Support personnel are helpful and fairly fast to bring resolution to non-emergency issues. Patches are created and posted in a timely fashion. We so far have not had any major problems that needed support

    Third party training was fast but mostly unnecessary as we were already Unix trained and Linux familiar

    These two operating systems are both great and can totally do everything that we need in our school. The reason we go with Android is that it is cheaper and we have a greater variety of apps available to us. iOS can be a little pricey and it also doesn't allow us to do the customization that we want.

    We went straight to SLES when we initially started migrating oracle to hana since at that time, HANA came on a pre-installed server that had to be purchased from an official vendor, and SLES was the only allowed OS. We stuck with SLES after we became certified to do our own installations because so far, SLES was a good fit for us.

    Return on Investment

    • We have an Android mobile app and our customers have downloaded more than 5.000 instances in less than two months.
    • With the app our customers don't need to go to our offices to get a support or service.

    • Compared to others, use is more stable and scalable; easy to manage.
    • The administration tools are very useful in helping the staff performance.
    • SLES proved to be a very extendable product, supporting all of our infrastructure.
    • The major reason I chose to use the product was the extensive enterprise peripheral support.
