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 frequent updates are valuable."
"One of the most important features is the package manager. It provides the ability to very easily roll back transactions when something has gone wrong. It is an easy-to-use tool that helps me in situations where something unexpected has happened. I found that this was one of the solution's major advantages over other distributions."
"RHEL is the most reliable Linux flavor in terms of enterprise governance. I prefer it for its code stability, support, and integration. The lifecycle management features help us maintain compliance and keep the components updated."
"One of Red Hat Enterprise Linux’s valuable features is its enterprise-level security. We are guaranteed that it's secure, and that's important for us because we need to comply with security regulations. Security always remains a top priority."
"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."
"When it comes to security, scalability, and robustness, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) excels in all aspects. That's why we rely on this operating system."
"In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, we use Red Hat Satellite as part of all the patching and deployment, even from on-premises and AWS, and that's been really helpful since it is one product that can be used in a hybrid environment."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux is easy to manage, update, and integrate. I also like Red Hat Enterprise Linux's built-in security features. You need to enable them by default or keep them enabled if you want your system to be secured. It protects most of the system components."
"The development teams could sharpen their skills. They should offer applications on the net."
"RHEL could be improved in several ways, especially regarding transparency and communication of new features."
"The biggest thing that the solution could introduce is an even slimmer version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux."
"Right now, we need to get memory and CPU via the console."
"The adoption was slightly slow because the knowledge in the market is slightly less available. It's hard to find resources to actually support the product."
"It's getting easier for the community to use it free of charge. If you have an account, you get to use it. It would be better if the community could use it on their own for lab projects."
"Some of the repositories and some of the DNS versions are very old. I just deployed something using Ruby and the DNS stable repository was sufficiently old that the Ruby project I was using didn't work."
"The product should be made available on Oracle Cloud."
"We have had issues with the identification of new volumes when you add new disks or storage."
