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 feature is the reliability of Red Hat's support."
"The most valuable feature is its security. In Windows, there are risks of attacks or of data leaks because it is using .exe files, but in Red Hat's Linux-based operating system, the data is more secure."
"I like the speed of the OS data and the ease of Ansible automation. I don't need to spend much time managing everything."
"The package management, repository, and satellite repository are easy to use."
"The best system I've ever used is Red Hat, in terms of its ability and consistency of the operating system. Other than that, the vast majority of applications that I had, you can deploy Red Hat with the support of the vast majority of applications. We don't have many issues with the OS, the support is very good."
"The integration with Oracle is the most valuable feature."
"There are some nice integrations with scanning for vulnerabilities. That is the feature I have enjoyed the most because I am a security person, and that is my bread and butter."
"We use this product's built-in tracing and monitoring tools such as syslog and SAR (system activity reporter) to provide us with greater insight and visibility into what's going on."
"The development teams could sharpen their skills. They should offer applications on the net."
"Some of the solution's features need to be automated. We encounter the hassle of registering the system and attaching a subscription."
"In the past and with older versions, you couldn't expand the root file system without rebooting the server or restarting the operating system. That is something that they have actually corrected now, which is great. They corrected that issue somewhere around RHEL 7."
"There are a lot of file systems that are supported by other Linux distributions. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a little behind those. For example, Btrfs is a file system that is not supported by Red Hat."
"The cost of this solution could be improved."
"The solution should provide better documentation."
"The Cockpit interface needs improvement with more features. The information for implementing Red Hat Cluster could be also improved. And there could also be better performance monitoring."
"Sometimes we just don't have a web interface available for repetitive tasks. It would be nice to have a web-based tool for Red Hat Enterprise Linux since we don't always have access to a web browser."
"A one-click package for hardening all files would significantly improve efficiency compared to the current manual process, especially considering the hundreds of files we've processed over the years."
