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."Until now, RHEL has been the most stable OS I have ever seen. Nothing seems to break, with frequent updates. I have been running it 24/7 for the past 18 months and it runs flawlessly."
"It has improved our organization. It has standardized processes."
"The security, ongoing support, and ease of taking a system and getting authorization from a government agency have helped the way our organization functions."
"Technical support is excellent."
"Red Hat support is pretty good. They're online, so you can look up things once you have support. Their AB integration has improved. It's easy to manage storage for moving, syncing LBM, etc."
"We have support. If we have any issues with the distro, we can call their support team."
"The solution has features that simplify adoption for non-Linux users. There is an interface that you can activate on RHEL systems, and on other Linux systems as well, so that you will get a graphical user interface instead of just a shell. It's easier for an administrator who is used to only working on Windows."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has good support and doesn't have many outages due to the OS."
"It is a stable solution."
"The variety of tools utilized to meet unique needs across the company and different departments."
"The solution's steps are now very customized and it has great functionality."
"The tool is user-friendly. It is easy to use, and we have many applications like Excel and Word where we can do spreadsheet work."
"Windows 11 is an easy-to-use solution."
"Windows 11 has nice icons and colors."
"It is a stable solution."
"Quick Assist is a valuable feature."
"Continuous improvement is essential to enhance user experiences and address evolving needs."
"Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization isn't up to the mark as compared to VMware and Hyper-V, but they're moving everything on OpenShift for containers and virtual machines, which is stable. If you go into the virtualization layer, they still need to improve a lot of things, but with regards to OpenShift, containers, Docker, and other things, they are doing well."
"The knowledge base provided by Red Hat exists, but I find it difficult to navigate. The information seems scattered and hard to find."
"AIX will be out of support in the next few years, so that is a problem because a lot of the clinical apps use AIX."
"The biggest thing that is crushing RHEL is documentation. Their documentation is haphazard at best. The man pages that you can use locally are pretty good, they've been fleshed out pretty well, but the documentation from Red Hat itself really needs somebody to go through it and review it."
"We need to have more flexibility on the developed versions. Not everybody is ready to subscribe to enterprise versions. They would like to test the tool without subscriptions."
"Network management can be easier. It is getting more complex."
"The product should provide a portal to manage licenses."
"There is room for improvement in terms of security."
"Windows 11's pricing needs improvement. Additionally, its integration capabilities with other systems could be better."
"I would like the solution to include AI integration. It also needs to have better support."
"I didn't find any reliable reviews for applications in the Microsoft Store."
