A real enterprise OS. Not for those who want a Windows like system, If you want that there are multiple Linux distributions available that will do everything for you.
If it isn't available in Solaris, then do it yourself, that's what admins are supposed to do. Very secure system, and highly underrated due to the cost. It's no longer the premier OS due to Oracle scrapping all further development, but it's more than capable of running anything companies want.
Yes, I am a Solaris admin, but companies primarily want Linux so that's what I do now.

The 2018 version (for x86) of Solaris 11.4 (straight from Oracle ISO "text install" image) does not properly configure the network interface (using DHCP) when booting up under VirtualBox (originally an Oracle product). I do not really know why this fails, but honestly, I do not WANT to know why this fails! In fairness, the Oracle latest AI type install seems to work. Solaris was at one time a terrific OS -- especially for enterprise operations -- but it is a distant shadow of itself when the ISO of it cannot configure properly at boot-up under VirtualBox. Very sad.
The real problem is that Oracle should be making available a "text install" ISO image that is created from the latest builds of the OS. This is a big outage from Oracle (as far as I am concerned).

I have the free DL of 11.4 on a SPARC T4-1. Pretty pure Unix. Very nice OS (although the free download is pretty old and missing lots of updates provided to license holders). Oracle is in print stating Solaris will be supported until 2034(36?) *That* is how you support mission critical software. But a license is some value of "a lot", and a full & free release of Solaris at 'current' by Mr. Ellison is very unlikely. For X86 look at OmniOS. It's also very nice if you know what "gmake" means, and it's kept up. I trust it. Linux is a relentless drive towards The New. Solaris isn't for those people, but you have to have the dosh.
