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."
"I have seen a return on investment, especially considering the time taken to resolve the problem where we bought some support from Red Hat."
"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 support and the stability are Red Hat Enterprise Linux's most valuable areas."
"While using it, we encountered far fewer complexities, and the entire process is much smoother and streamlined."
"The containerized platform will help us use ROSA."
"We find the Red Hat Satellite deployments very useful. It integrates well with other solutions."
"It eases the burden by restricting the use of open-source Linux and preventing the development community from obtaining their own images. This is crucial for maintaining a secure supply chain and ensuring the lockdown of live Linux packages."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The development teams could sharpen their skills. They should offer applications on the net."
"Considering an area where the solution lacks, I think we can look into a lot more automation and integrations with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and other products."
"The solution's ecosystem is good but it would be better to create cohesive components in all of the development tools."
"The solution should improve its documentation."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux has affected our HA systems in a negative way. We're working through some of those issues."
"The biggest thing that the solution could introduce is an even slimmer version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux."
"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."
"RHEL could be improved in several ways, especially regarding transparency and communication of new features."
"I'd like to see more of NCurses type menu systems in some instances. We're dealing with SUSE Enterprise Linux, they have an NCurses menu system. It's a menu system. It will write there. Even some of the higher-end Unix systems like AIX have some inner menu system where all the configuration tools are right there so your administrator doesn't have to jump through multiple directories to configure files if needed. I like the simplicity of Red Hat because it's pretty easy but having an NCurses menu when you have to get something done quickly would be nice."
