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."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."
"The enterprise support of the product is valuable to us."
"I like the speed of the OS data and the ease of Ansible automation. I don't need to spend much time managing everything."
"It's been great since we have it. It's been reliable and fast."
"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."
"It's more stable than the other operating systems."
"One of the valuable features is that it's convenient."
"It is a well-established operating system. We have tried to implement almost every feature of a version in our environment, and it has been very reliable. We are not facing many production issues on a day-to-day basis. They have well-documented articles on their documentation site and a knowledge base on their website. When we need to implement anything, we are able to find information about the best practices and the solution."
"The solution's steps are now very customized and it has great functionality."
"I use the tool for work which includes emails, using the internet, etc."
"Windows 11 is an easy-to-use solution."
"The new search bar is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable aspect is the seamless integration and robust compatibility of other tools."
"The tool is very stable and I don't recall a time the screen went blue which was common for Windows 7. The product's installation is fast. If I have any issue that prevents me from booting Windows 11, it will automatically run into auto-repair mode and fix those issues. Windows 10 had this functionality but it wasn't good."
"I rate the initial setup process an eight out of ten. It takes less than a day to complete."
"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."
"Their support needs improvement. It should be faster for priority tickets."
"I prefer a product that offers everything in a yearly subscription, like VMware, and I think RHEL should consider offering it as well."
"Network virtualization resources could be better. When you have any kind of trouble with network virtualization, such as with OVS, which is like a switch in a virtual environment, it takes many hours to find what is happening. Other vendors, such as VMware, and even other Linux implementations for network virtualization have better resources. It is much easier to escalate, and there is better documentation."
"I don't prefer Red Hat Enterprise Linux for desktop over other options."
"The vulnerability assessment part should also be improved. We do a lot of patching regularly. They try to fix an issue very quickly, and we also end up facing bugs that are not properly documented. When releasing the general availability for a particular solution, they need to do a lot more work on their side."
"Deploying clusters on Red Hat, as well as on Oracle Linux, is a bit involving. I'd like them to simplify the setup or at least give meaningful log files to be able to see what's happening at the cluster level."
"As a developer, I would like to have access to this software so that I can install the tools that I need."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux should provide more training because many people are not very familiar with Linux's user interface."
"I would like the solution to include AI integration. It also needs to have better support."
"When I was using Winsel, a tool for the existing purpose, and completing the purpose of that is to complete the file, it would show an error and ask me to purchase the product. But now, instead of giving the product, we have a patch to loop the tool. This happened via dot key dot shared and dot bat solutions. So, that kind of convenience has not been provided in Windows 11."
"The integration between Windows and cloud applications could be improved to create a seamless experience."
"The solution must improve its aesthetics."
"Major updates cause problems in small business environments because the end customers have to upgrade their workstations."
"The user interface could be easier to operate when searching for more options."
"I didn't find any reliable reviews for applications in the Microsoft Store."
"The solution's installation process could be less time-consuming."
