Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Canonical, Oracle and others in Operating Systems (OS) for Business."Flatcar's support is good. The version I am using is stable and allows us to make needed changes."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are the mobile applications and getting real-time notifications."
"It is the most lightweight platform to use. It is very flexible. It is not very difficult to manage, configure, and deal with."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux is very stable. It has been in the market for so many years, and it is used by large organizations."
"I like its user-friendliness for the admins administering the servers and the ease of doing fix packs on the servers and upgrades with the Red Hat software. It saves time and cost because we don't need to have expensive hires to do the work. We can do it ourselves a lot of times. It's a pretty straightforward, easy-to-learn, and user-friendly operating system."
"The feature that I like the most is that we can integrate it easily with our existing infrastructure. We found that it is much easier to deploy RHEL in our environment compared to a competing distribution like Ubuntu."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and maturity. Linux offers cost efficiency. Red Hat comes at the top of other Linux vendors. I am very satisfied with RHEL's maturity."
"The solution provides more detailed control."
"The knowledge base offered by Red Hat Enterprise Linux is good. It is easy to parse through all of the knowledge base."
"The development teams could sharpen their skills. They should offer applications on the net."
"It would be very good if we can easily migrate from CentOS to Red Hat. We are about to move from CentOS to Red Hat. It would be great if they can give us a free version. Otherwise, we need to purchase licenses, which are quite expensive."
"Red Hat's standard deployment is with Satellite and Kickstart, but we're looking at other options to help speed it along. We do have a mix of bare metal and virtualized servers and it's easier to spin up in the virtualized world versus bare metal. That's why we're looking at some options outside of Red Hat, for the bare metal."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux should modernize its UI to make navigating the screens easier."
"I would like to see additional features, including automation and the introduction of AI/ML-based tools within Red Hat to handle manual tasks that humans are required to do."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward but can be tedious at times because of the compliance things that we have to implement."
"New products need better documentation. The websites also have a single sign-on to get you from one side to the other. As a partner, I had a problem finding out how I needed to connect and to which side of the solution."
"RHEL could be improved in several ways, especially regarding transparency and communication of new features."
"All resources should be available on the website."
