Best Operating System , virus Free.. use and enjoy
What do you like best about the product?
We have implement Linux more than 3 three years ago. Major reason to migrate with Operation System make more cost efficient as we are hurting a huge cost over the years. As we are a courier company , we have multiple solution for our internal customer with customize solution so we required a virus free and fast performing OS to operate. As we are largest courier company which i mentioned earlier , we have multiple server and we have to protect them b 24 /7. We have gone through different OS, but found this tool excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Configuration is too much, not much use friendly as compare with MS OS. As first time setup is little bit complex as compared to others . but after this , overall this is very good product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Virus and the main issue of every organization, this need to address in quick manner. Linux is your Answer. As i have mentioned the we have multiple server and our business are executing by 24/ 7. We must require our system and applications running by 99%. So, it necessary that we have a solid foundation and solid virus free operating which help us to manage this expectation. So, we have implement this operating system and found happy that this is right decision.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hire Expect or consult and expect before implementation as this is not easy to implement without training

RedHat Enterprise Linux

Better than the Rest - Linux Edition
What do you like best about the product?
RHEL's interface makes it easy to navigate. It almost feels as if the developers of this Linux platform kept user experience in mind. Many of its built-in programs are easily navigable. Perhaps this comes more naturally to a developer whose first Linux system is not RHEL, but it does maintain all the functionalities of a Linux environment for a developer looking to code in practically any language (C++, Python, Java, etc). It is a stable Linux platform with security and speed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price is a disadvantage of RHEL. It is not like other Linux distributions that are similar to RHEL and free. If you do not need RHEL and are not working on projects that require its robust attributes, then consider other Linux systems. In addition, getting certain packages on a RHEL system can be frustrating, especially if you lack the initial experience with Linux environments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WIth RHEL, we are creating tools that will help management compile data on how well their developers are doing. Developers work in a Linux environment using RHEL. The system provides the security that the developers require to do their end of the work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not start with RHEL if you are inexperienced with Linux. If your company does not need RHEL, do not invest in it. However, if you are looking for security and sturdiness, then RHEL is one of the best Linux distributions to exist.
Redhat OS as a base for your enterprise applicstions
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of any tools from redhat is the extensive online documentation available of the products.
Redhat OS in particular is easy to use and manage. All our products are running seamlessly on top of redhat OS.
Since we are premier customer of redhat we get dedicated TAM providing 24*7 support.

What do you dislike about the product?
The kernel management for this OS can be tricky as there are many options to play with.
As with any linux OS, any changes should be properly checked before applying as you may loose data.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redhat is the base OS for all our products. All our testing, UAT and PROD is using RHEL based servers both in virtual and physical env.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Before using it in cloud based templates, make sure to get kernel recommendations from redhat first.
Any changes later will be tedious.
Also do use it for clustered based applications along with cluster specific solutions from redhat like gluster FS and HAproxy tools.

A secure and well-supported operating system
What do you like best about the product?
RedHat is for me the best enterprise solution Linux Based actually on the market. It's fast, secure and with an excellent live support. It was one of the first Linux distribution to use a new way to compress packages
called rpm.
It is stable, have a nice GUI and is very fast.

What do you dislike about the product?
This Linux distribution is very expensive and I would not recommend it to small businesses company with limited budgets. It's not very user-friendly for first time Linux user. Compatibility with others Operanting System could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use RHEL for every server-side necessity, for virtualization, linux shell scripting, and so on. We also use scripting for schedule our daily backup and some auto-startup activity. The Database activity is also well organized with RHEL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As i said before, this Linux distribution is expensive and I would recommend it only if you need RHEL support, but for small company with limited budgets i wouldn't recommend it.
KVM - Kernel based Virtual Manager
What do you like best about the product?
It integrates into the Linux kernel and hence it is easy to launch - like does not need to be installed like other hypervisors E.g oracle virtualbox or vmware player. It exists in the kernel as a module and hence it is loaded when the kernel starts and keeps running
What do you dislike about the product?
the process of setting up virtual machines is not very easy and needs more knowledge and practice unlike using other user friendly hypervisors like Oracle virtualbox where everything is GUI based and can be done with the click of mouse.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used KVM as part of HP blade servers to spin up new virtual machines for various VNFs. Though there was an initial learning, but once learned it was easy to manage the VNFs - their lifecycle (instantiation, upgrade, downgrade, etc)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
KVM is the default hypervisor for Linux based hosts though other tools like virtualbox can be used.
Must have for your cloud
What do you like best about the product?
OpenSource standards based hypervisor. Works with various cloud platforms
What do you dislike about the product?
CLI is often confusing and difficult to use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Private cloud. Many linux distributions support it.
Good, efficient Linux Distro
What do you like best about the product?
It has stronger corporate support than most other Linux Distributions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The responsiveness of support when our company has had issues, could be stronger.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides a platform solution for Webmethods middleware, and for some Java applications running within Websphere.
