We performed a comparison between Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Windows 11 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Operating Systems (OS) for Business solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Red Hat Enterprise Linux is lightweight and can be run on almost anything."
"The solution's use of Kubernetes as an internal or core process on the system is brilliant."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has good support and doesn't have many outages due to the OS."
"It's been great since we have it. It's been reliable and fast."
"RHEL enables us to deploy applications and emerging workloads across bare-metal and virtualized environments and I find those workloads to be extremely reliable. The reliability is so good that I rarely find myself calling Red Hat support any longer. Support is the first benefit of using RHEL, but the second thing is that the platform is so stable that the need to use support is negligible."
"User friendly with good compatibility."
"One of the most valuable features is the package manager because it makes it easier to keep everything up to date."
"Errata is the most valuable feature, which is supported by Red Hat."
"Windows 11 has nice icons and colors."
"Windows 11 is now more stable and doesn't crash like its earlier versions."
"It has helped with analytics."
"Quick Assist is a valuable feature."
"We are migrating from Windows 10 to Windows 11 due to end-of-life, security concerns, and end-of-support. The tool's configuration is good and we are satisfied with it since it's a Microsoft product. We didn't face any hurdles in using the tool. We didn't feel much difference with both Windows products. The solution is good because in IT we want to secure our data. Nowadays, data is the most valuable thing. If your data is secured, then you are secured. I think that everyone has to move to Windows 11 since Windows 10 is facing end-of-life and end-of-sales, probably by 2024."
"The most valuable aspect is the seamless integration and robust compatibility of other tools."
"The artificial intelligence capabilities of the product have supported my organization."
"Windows 11 has a very straightforward initial setup."
"The cost could be lower. Red Hat is considered a costly solution. It can be expensive if you want all the features in the license. A cheaper license would make Red Hat more accessible to a broader range of users."
"This solution could be improved if it was easier to set up and run in cloud environments. It can also be costly to manage a large OpenShift environment."
"The cost of this solution could be improved."
"Their pricing and documentation can be improved."
"The biggest thing that is crushing RHEL is documentation. Their documentation is haphazard at best. The man pages that you can use locally are pretty good, they've been fleshed out pretty well, but the documentation from Red Hat itself really needs somebody to go through it and review it."
"The knowledge base provided by Red Hat exists, but I find it difficult to navigate. The information seems scattered and hard to find."
"The solution is moving away from CentOS and there are growing pains from the customer's perspective."
"If they can make the integration with Ansible easier, that would be ideal."
"I am not happy with the new menus in Windows 11 since it is not very comfortable."
"The product needs options for personalization and self-development. AI functions are also another area where improvement can be made. We're starting to use these features, but there's room for further development and integration."
"There is room for improvement in terms of security."
"The vendor must focus on building more reliable hardware."
"The interface should be enhanced and more user-friendly."
"Sometimes, I experience slowness in Windows 11, and its speed could be improved."
"Windows 11 needs to improve its pricing."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
