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."Chrome Enterprise is really easy to deploy and manage."
"Google Chrome Enterprise is a stable solution with good performance."
"This solution is user-friendly with security features detecting if there is suspicious activity on the browser. There is a lot of extensions we can use to provide us with good coverage."
"Bookmarking is very good because they are synchronized across all devices."
"We use the product to run applications and devices."
"The solution has been stable."
"The breadth and capability of the various extensions and plug-ins that are out there for Chrome to do additional things on top of just working in the browser are fantastic."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The graphical user interface is useful. However, we prefer to use the command line as we can do many more things."
"Technical support is pretty good. It's one of the main reasons we chose Red Hat over competitors."
"I like its user-friendliness for the admins administering the servers and the ease of doing fix packs on the servers and upgrades with the Red Hat software. It saves time and cost because we don't need to have expensive hires to do the work. We can do it ourselves a lot of times. It's a pretty straightforward, easy-to-learn, and user-friendly operating system."
"The solution’s security feature is the most valuable feature for my company."
"The most valuable feature is its security. In Windows, there are risks of attacks or of data leaks because it is using .exe files, but in Red Hat's Linux-based operating system, the data is more secure."
"The frequent updates are valuable."
"It is a stable solution."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the underlying licensing system that our third-party tool uses. It offers convenience. We can open a case when we want to escalate anything."
"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."
"The solution's interface is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Chromebooks are hard to find in the Indonesian market."
"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."
"They need to deal with their memory management."
"The performance could be faster."
"You still need to have a pretty good understanding of GCP to deploy it properly."
"Google Chrome Enterprise doesn't use AI in its solution."
"Its pricing is good and competitive."
"I don't prefer Red Hat Enterprise Linux for desktop over other options."
"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."
"The upgrade procedures are a little bit cumbersome. It would be nice if they are not because every three or four years we have to update, and I find that to be a bit on the cumbersome side. We have been able to automate most of it, but we still run into things where the job does not finish. There are things that require additional steps. There are things that need to be removed and that always require manual intervention."
"Scaling can be complicated and has room for improvement."
"The only issue that we have is that Red Hat specifically promotes OpenStack, and we don't use OpenStack. It's good if you're using OpenStack, but if you're not using OpenStack, and you're using Docker or something else, it isn't that good. Having more support for non-OpenStack would be very helpful, but, of course, as part of their business, we don't expect it."
"I use Linux on Satellite with Ansible infrastructure. It would be great if there were a universal interface to control RHEL's policy from Satellite. It could be a dashboard showing which policies were enabled on what system and allow you to apply them from the dashboard."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux's patching process needs improvement, particularly in achieving consistency. Currently, when you patch, you might not have control over the timing, leading to different software packages ending up at different patch levels. This lack of consistency can make it challenging to manage and control the various components effectively."
