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 package management, repository, and satellite repository are easy to use."
"The tool's most valuable feature is simplicity. There is value in having a fully CLI-based operating system instead of a GUI-based one. It is lightweight and can be leveraged without resource constraints."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux's most valuable attribute is its stability."
"RHEL is stable, mature, and relatively easy to handle. I'm pretty confident in it. We haven't had to raise a serious support ticket for any server in I don't know how many years."
"Support has a fast response time."
"With regard to security, most companies are moving towards the black box approach and Red Hat. It's much more secure compared to the other vendors."
"The frequent updates are valuable."
"The solution is very stable, reliable, easy to use, and has good technical support."
"The development teams could sharpen their skills. They should offer applications on the net."
"A completely new setup should not be required when upgrading to a new version."
"The cockpit server doesn't work and is useless. I don't like the images shown in GCP. I prefer the ones in AWS. It seems like the solution is in tune with what we deploy on the private cloud."
"Right now, we need to get memory and CPU via the console."
"I believe it would be beneficial to notify the customer in advance of any planned maintenance so that we can better coordinate and plan our customer interactions accordingly."
"There is potential for improvement when it comes to ease of use. It has become easier to use over the years but could be better still. Linux, in general, has never been a simple solution. It's usually a more complex solution than something like Windows. If there is a downside, it's that it is more complex than some of the other solutions."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward but can be tedious at times because of the compliance things that we have to implement."
"A targeted package tailored for small and medium-sized businesses can help increase business."
"The default settings are confusing."
