Maybe the best free Virtualization System
What do you like best about the product?
The first fact that I like a lot about KVM is that it is a free and open source software, and it does not lack any of the features that other propertiary competitors provide .
Additionally it's easy to grasp and configure .
Finally , it's performance and reliability are very good ( comparable or even better that any of the alternatives ) .

Finally , it's performance and reliability are very good ( comparable or even better that any of the alternatives ) .
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside that I can think of is that it lacks availability for other processor architectures ( with ARM and RISK being the most important ) . This feature might also be very useful in the embedded system community .
Other than that I am very satisfied with this product .

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using KVM for running different virtual machines that provide different services in the Intranet without the need of many different physical servers .
Also using KVM for deploying virtual machines for testing new features .

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a full virtualization solution go with it ! It surpasses all the alternatives that I am aware of .
It wil not take long to learn how the configuration works so you will get the benefits pretty fast .

Virtualization of a testing environment for IPv6 network testing
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that KVM is Open Source software and thus compatible with a lot of applications that can be easily run in a Linux server with a very low cost.
I also find KVM lighter than other solutions in terms of hardware requirements.
I also find KVM lighter than other solutions in terms of hardware requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
KVM is not available for all the processors. Also the process of setting up a network is not as easy as with other solutions.
I did run into some implementation bugs but they were fixed in newer versions.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used KVM to test IPv6 integration in a testing network environment. The aim was to learn the differences from a sysadmin point of view of administrating an IPv6 network to IPv4 networks.
The Stable Linux Server
What do you like best about the product?
I am using linux for more than ten years now, I worked as a Linux Jedi for 5 6 years, RedHat was one of the most stable with lots of support I worked with. RedHat 7 has lots of new feature that I like, changing its directory server was one of the interesting changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's price actually, some changes in new version need more memory and are not suitable for the some old machines
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Redhat for deploy lots of different kind of problems, I deployed a directory server for more than 100,000 users using 389-ds, I used it as infrastructure for cloud processing for more than 50 servers and I also used it for different web services, I also recently I deployed a cluster computing facility with lots of automation which I think is a beautiful work with help of RedHat.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Where I worked for four where we have lots of computers in windows and linux, I loved to have a central administration tool if it was possible. Samba4 cannot handle lots of users and computers
Incredibly satisfying
What do you like best about the product?
Besides it being a gnu/linux distribution, RedHat constantly provides stable and polished releases. They are keen on providing fast support and bug fixes. And of course the community behind RedHat is one of the best.
What do you dislike about the product?
The RPM could be a bit better, it is quite a challenge when switching from APT or OpenSUSE. At least for me a cheat sheet is required. But this would be more of a note to all RedHat distributions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of our web apps are deployed on a RedHat linux distro, either CentOS or RHEL.
It was never a question of an operating system, Windows or GNU/Linux, it is pretty self-explanatory. It is imperative to have a rock-solid operating system running all of your business, be it websites, data bases or internal mail servers, administration panels . With an enterprise solution you no longer need freelancers or to search through countless forums to find a fix for your problem.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The support is great, it is indeed a great choice for a Linux distribution if you are in need of support and a balance of updates/stability. It will definitely take you some time to get used to it, especially if you're switching from a Debian distribution. You might want to consider hiring a RedHat Enterprise certified tech specialist just to be on the safe side of things, especially if this is in concern to your app or business security or data privacy.
Open source Kernel Level Visualization.
What do you like best about the product?
Free.
Easy to use and quick to configure.
Does everything most companies will need in terms of Visualization.

What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of "Over selling" - Unlike container based visualization RAM can not be oversold.
Has a small overhead, uses much more resources than container based visualization.
Although these are downsides of Full Visualization and not KVM its self.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We currently run 5 KVM VM's avoiding the need for 5 physical servers.
We also use KVM to separate our web server from development platforms.
In the past I managed a VPS server that had over 200 KVM VM's on it. The only issue we had was when we accidentally over allocated resources.

Fantastic product. As good as the costly alternatives.
kvm review
What do you like best about the product?
In the Linux world KVM is a very reliable solution that can be used for x86 architecture virtualization with a reasonable overhead. Reliable and extensible, with a tight integration with linux security facilities like SELinux, KVM just does the job.
You will unlikely have to see kvm if you are using a cloud solution because of the seamless integration. If instead you are a Linux desktop user, KVM is the solution to go if you have to start virtual machines with linux or other operating systems with almost zero extra configuration needed.
That said, KVM have a rich options set that can be directly used or via wrappers like LibVirt.

What do you dislike about the product?
The support of virtualization in the recent generation of x86 processor is almost a must have, so the only negative aspect of needing hardware support to have a fully functional kvm can be dropped. It would be nice if the support for other platform like ARM or Risk was as good as the x86 one, but I think with the democratization of chromebooks based on these chips and mobile devices, it will not take long for that to happen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full system virtualization is a necessity for some testing cases or in the event of evaluation of new functionnalities. Booting up a vm in a few seconds and having an almost genuine systems that can be can linked in very different network typologies for almost zero configuration were the main reasons of our choice of kvm.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
What do you like best about the product?
It's not just an operating system, today RHEL is an ecosystem of products and services whose tools simplify the process of automation and management of ours data center, the documentation is very specific and comprehensive, and ¡it works! because behind the best developers that they can afford.
If you want to test some solutions for academic purposes, any Linux operating system could help you, but when it comes to saving time, effort and money, RHEL must be your best decision.

What do you dislike about the product?
1.- The knowledge base(KB) is not public, you must pay for access.
2.- The licenses is in permament changes.
2.- The licenses is in permament changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anthing you can imagine: RRHH, Web Services, Transactional/NoSQL Data Base, development any services of mission critical, RHEL is a operating system standard on the industry.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy and fast deployment, mission critical solutions, red hat education is a good optcion to deem and service support.
stable linux release with good support and features
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use and setup, extensive features list, stable, supported well by redhat, Redhat makes it pretty easy to adopt linux with mainstream installation on all types of hardware.
What do you dislike about the product?
subscription mgmt is hard to use sometimes, wished it was on a newer kernel, sometimes I wish there was a smaller version dedicated to running docker containers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
used by our customers, easy to develop on, a partnet tha tis easy to work with,good support, redhat linux is pretty common among our customers so it is easy to support multiple customers using RHEL as the base of our product
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you need a commercially supported stable linux distro then Redhat linux is an easy and safe choice given it's wide adoption and relatively low cost, if you don't need commercial support then look at the open source community version called centos which is almost identical
RedHat flavour of Linux
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to install.
Enterprise support.
Very solid distribution of Linux with the backing of Red Hat.
Enterprise support.
Very solid distribution of Linux with the backing of Red Hat.
What do you dislike about the product?
Built in package repositories leave a lot to be desired, and you often have to add third-party repositories to install basic software, for example, LibreOffice.
Other than the enterprise support there's not much difference between the completely free and open-source CentOS.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a solid distribution to run our SaaS applications (Ruby On Rails/NGINX/Passenger) on. Very stable and easy to maintain.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Only use this if you need the enterprise support. There's other distributions of Linux that are free and have a better community behind them.
