    iOS works well when you want solid control over institutionally-owned devices. This generally works best when you play by Apple's rules and buy through them and use Apple School/Business Manager - so if you're going for a BYOD model, this probably isn't the way to do [it]. There is a wide variety of management tools, but bear the costs of each in mind.

    Oracle Solaris is great due to the fact that it actually is meant for high-end servers. Supports a wide range of hardware. The Stability of the solution is great. The documentation does not support some solutions, and there are no other options. Most of the product is still command-line, despite the fact that they've got a graphical user interface in some areas. For some reason, core administration is still done via command-line.

    Cons
    Apple
    • Replacing the battery is hard and shouldn't be.
    • I know it is for security, but the ability to remote control iOS and help users would be great.
    • Security can be tight with the iCloud and passcodes and you can brick a phone if you are not careful.

    Usability
    Apple
    In all likelihood, common users will either already have experience with iOS on their iPhones, or will pick it up quickly. The UI is generally simple and mostly visual. Power users, on the other hand, may feel constrained by the inherent limitations built-in. Root access, terminal commands, and deep customization are not really to be found here.

    Lots of help articles online for just about everything under the sun. I have never personally had to engage Apple's support team to comment on their helpfulness.

    The support teams are well trained and responsive. Patches are rolled out regularly and are easy to deploy and backout.

    Stress testing and timing is key. You need test systems that mirror the live environments. User testing must be reflected in peak loads.

    The software updates have a wide coverage for iPhone models and I love updating software for additional features and/or improved software stability. It has also genuine feel of the phones they offer. Easier to set up and use. It helps me do more productive tasks. If I have the latest phone model, I would have additional software advantages that are already included in my OS.

    Oracle Solaris is Scalable, have a good patching capability and secure by default. You want to have something that's up and running and stable, something that's not going to crash. But if we do have an issue, we can get somebody for technical support who can help us work through the problems.

    Return on Investment
    Apple
    • Positive as far as cellular usage, phone tracking, and security for our users.
    • Negative as far as battery replacement on older phones.
    • Costs would be similar to android phones so security/simplicity is our main point here.

    • It just runs like a top, this mean TCO is low
    • We've not had issues with Solaris running on Sparc.
    • Reliability is above reproach.
