We performed a comparison between Google Chrome Enterprise and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 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."The solution's most valuable feature is its browser, which offers good performance."
"Google Chrome Enterprise is a stable solution with good performance."
"Chrome Enterprise is really easy to deploy and manage."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution has been stable."
"The best part of Chrome is security."
"Chrome functions as a comprehensive solution due to its continuous self-evaluation and improvement. The evolution process has been significant, with a notable distance covered from its inception to the present. Notably, features like VPN support have been incorporated over time, enhancing the platform's capabilities. A distinctive feature is that users don't even need to know the Wi-Fi password; upon signing into the machine, internet connectivity is established immediately. Furthermore, the cloud storage system ensures data isn't stored locally, making it seamless for users to switch between machines. In summary, Google Chrome Enterprise is an excellent solution, particularly when there's a shortage of available manpower."
"The containerized platform will help us use ROSA."
"One of the valuable features is that it's convenient."
"Automation is the most valuable feature. I don't like having to solve a problem more than once. If I can just whip up some code to take care of deploying something, responding to something, etc., then that is what I prefer. It is a lot easier out-of-the-box to do than it is with Windows. With Windows, there is always the process of bootstrapping into being able to have the automation framework available, then making the automation framework work."
"There are millions of commands you can use, although we use only five or ten."
"It is compatible with most Java microservices applications."
"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."
"Management is portable and easily automated so deploying or installing packages and running updates is seamless."
"The most valuable feature is the Identity Management. You pay almost the same subscription cost for normal RHEL and you get the central Identity Management. You would need to pay much more if you were using other applications or products like Active Directory from Microsoft."
"The tool is not very user-friendly."
"The product must improve its speed."
"The solution could be made cheaper."
"The solution's interface is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Additional data security and data privacy features could be proactively recommended by Google."
"In an upcoming release, the enhanced troubleshooting feature needs to improve to be able to identify the issues for the use case and for the user experience."
"I wish there was a way that they could update things a little less often if anything. I think a lot of enterprise customers are frustrated... Certain plug-ins like ad blockers will lose some functionality in the next quarter to half a year."
"Identifying areas for improvement can be challenging since Chrome consistently strives to enhance itself. One aspect I'd like to highlight is virtualization. For instance, if you require desktop-based applications like Cisco or Adobe products on your local machine, Chrome's support is limited. While they offer Linux solutions for virtualization, my query or request would be to expand this to include Windows-based applications. If this were implemented, it would be a valuable enhancement, encouraging broader adoption by companies."
"Maybe they need to make it easier to apply patches from different resources. That said, at my level of usage, I never have to apply patches."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux should be available in a free version that developers could try on their own machines before deciding to implement the enterprise edition. It would be nice to have a community version available with all the features so developers can become more familiar with RHEL."
"Sometimes the solution deletes our archives or other features that were useful to us."
"We had issues migrating from the old to the new RHEL version in the virtual environment. It forced us to spin up a new virtual environment to have the new RHEL version."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements made to the subscriptions and management of them."
"The solution's operating system configuration and function selection could be improved."
"Deployment is simple if you have been using the solution for a long time. However, it can be complex if you are new to it."
