Customer reviews
R&D teams have accelerated testing and measure future-ready software securely
What is our primary use case?
Fedora Linux is an excellent tool for test lab and R&D deployment. We have had Fedora Linux in testing for a while and done some limited deployments. It is not our first-choice system, but it is definitely something we have used for certain applications and systems.
For experimental use, test lab situations, or very special-purpose tasks, Fedora Linux is an excellent choice.
R&D and experimental software are how we primarily use Fedora Linux. Our lab team loves it. It works well with CentOS and has many package similarities we use.
What is most valuable?
In my experience, the best features Fedora Linux offers are better cutting-edge software packages than CentOS , making it better for an R&D platform than other systems. It combines the stability of CentOS-style systems with more experimental software.
Fedora Linux is better for an R&D platform than other systems. It is a great choice.
The features that stand out to me include frequent updates, DNF as the package manager, and a strong focus on security.
Fedora Linux has positively impacted my organization with shorter LTS meaning more administrator work. Security patches help reduce vulnerabilities to help save money. Also, it has been mostly positive. We do not spend a lot on R&D, but Fedora Linux gives us a chance to gauge where we are at in comparison to where technology is headed.
Security patches in Fedora Linux have helped reduce vulnerabilities, saving us approximately one thousand dollars per year.
What needs improvement?
Stability is how Fedora Linux can be improved. It is good, but not anything like CentOS for stability. Stability should be improved.
I would like to add more about the needed improvements, particularly around end-user usability, as it has a few glaring holes here and there with the UI and UX.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Fedora Linux for the past five years and a few months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Fedora Linux is stable, but stability could be improved.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of Fedora Linux is good. I would say it is scalable because as we are managing it, it has continued to help us grow and manage our business growth.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support is very proactive and responsive.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used Ubuntu Linux .
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment as I love the frequent updates. It comes with a lot of robust features that improve our productivity. Also, it shortens LTS. Security patches have reduced vulnerabilities to help us save a lot of money and increase security posture.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the cost is a bit challenging, especially for a small organization. But overall, it is a cost-effective tool.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Fedora Linux, I evaluated other options such as Ubuntu Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux .
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Fedora Linux an eight out of ten.
I give it an eight out of ten because it is a great tool in testing for limited deployment. Also, it is a bit easy to use compared to other tools such as Ubuntu Linux. Furthermore, it saves a lot of money because we do not have to spend a lot on R&D.
We use AWS as the cloud provider for our Fedora Linux deployment.
I purchased Fedora Linux through the AWS Marketplace .
My overall review rating for this product is eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
A developer-friendly and highly customizable operating system that offers cost savings
What is most valuable?
As an administration user, I maintain the servers for my customers. Fedora Linux is a strong Linux operating system widely used in production, development, and testing environments. Its rock-solid kernel makes it ideal for mission-critical applications that require high-security standards.
Additionally, Fedora Linux is very developer-friendly and highly customizable.
It uses a package manager tool called YUM. With YUM, you can easily download and manage packages from repositories hosted by the solution.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with the product for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability depends on how many servers you want to install and if you have the resources to install those servers. So, scalability is not an issue. You can keep creating Fedora Linux servers as long as you have the resources.
How are customer service and support?
The tool has a very vibrant and widespread community. I don't know much about the community, but what I see is that it is active and releases updates and bug fixes frequently. For me, that is enough.
I have never used Fedora Linux product support; I only use Red Hat support. Red Hat's support is excellent. They offer 24/7 premium support as well as standard support. Standard support is available from 9 to 5, Monday through Friday, while premium support is available 24/7.
How was the initial setup?
The tool's setup can be done in two ways: with a GUI and without a GUI. You can install the GUI. You download the base image, and during installation, it will ask you whether you want just a plain server or a server with a GUI. It will give you all the options, including whether you want a non-graphical user interface normally used in enterprise environments.
You don't need any GUI in enterprise settings because those servers are installed and managed without it. If you use the GUI, it will consume more RAM and CPU. However, if you use just the simple non-GUI version, it will use fewer resources. On the server side, people typically don't use the GUI; they only use the non-graphical user interface because it is sufficient for running the server. On the desktop or workstation end, you can have the GUI installed.
If a system is the latest one, with a high-end CPU, a good amount of RAM, and SSD drives, it should not take more than ten minutes.
What was our ROI?
There are significant cost savings if you want to use Fedora Linux for testing. For instance, if you have a testing environment with hundreds of users working on an application, they can use it free of cost. Companies often buy a supported version on the production side due to governance and compliance requirements. If there were no such compliance requirements, many people would not buy a subscription because everyone likes to have free resources.
The value and benefits of using Fedora Linux are numerous, especially because it is a Linux operating system. For people who are trying to learn Linux, Fedora Linux is a great help because it provides everything required for developers to build applications, create new applications, and even write drivers for new hardware. Developers can also create their customized versions of the operating system if they wish.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
If you want to buy a monthly license from Fedora Linux, you can do so. But nobody does that. Most of the people who use it are technical users, either developers or infrastructure administrators.
There is no point in buying support for them because they can use Fedora Linux to fix bugs or troubleshoot independently. They can even use resources like GPT to fix issues. However, normal users might find it challenging. Hence, normal users do not use Fedora Linux; they still use Windows, Mac, or something similar.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten. AI is a buzzword these days. AI is an application that uses several technologies to create something called AI. To run those technologies, we need servers that can be supported by Fedora Linux. It must contribute to AI projects like OpenAI, which is widely used. I don't know much about their specific contributions or associations, but since Fedora Linux is one of the most popular Linux operating systems, they must participate in OpenAI projects. The tool is from the open source community, just like OpenAI, so they must have some integration for sharing knowledge and building improved versions of their applications.
Fedora Linux is not used much on the enterprise side. Red Hat is the enterprise version purchased by customers. All the base technology comes from the product. Fedora Linux is a project that creates the latest operating system version. Red Hat uses those versions, makes them more user-friendly, gets all the necessary certifications for specific hardware, and then ships it with its Red Hat branding.
