    Computer Software

Good, solid OS

  • July 24, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Extremely stable, good support, easy to find help online since it's so widely used.
What do you dislike about the product?
Steep learning curve, must know the syntax and be familiar with CLI
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Stable, less micromanagement to keep things running, no weird bugs that seem to pop up all the time in Windows

My favorite enterprise Linux distribution.

  • July 24, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Support from RedHat is excellent, as well as the OS, which is my first choice when it comes to deploying servers. It is also pretty easy to use once you get accustomed to it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some packages are not the latest version and not even the previous one. For example, if you try to install PHP you will get PHP 5.4, which has already been surpassed by PHP 5.5, PHP 5.6 and PHP7. This is done for safety reasons, though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used to host the backend for the Wikimania 2016 web application, with great benefits to the administration and speed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you come from a Debian environment, you may need to get accustomed to the differences.

The professional Linux

  • July 19, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Support! If you need to create a huge solution never skip a good support. I am not saying that other distro you won't have support. Sure you will find solutions to solve problems, however when you have millions of users affected is better to find a solution really really fast. And RedHat will help on that... for a price.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest I prefere to use Debian on my laptop just because I love Debian way and RedHat is a bit different and for me seams to have some files in a wrong place. Of course that people that prefere RedHat maybe will say the same if compare with Debian. Is like discus sports or religion, you should avoid doing that :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Millions of PayTV and telecom boxes connecting on our servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Any Linux is good, however if your business is doing well you need to think if you want to contract outstanding linux professional (in house solution) or pay for outstanding linux support (RedHat).

The UI is a bit garish and dated. Some default apps are not ideal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

KVM the FLOSS virtualisation solution

  • June 19, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Kvm is supporting Intel's VMX hardware virtualization which is optimal on intel powered system, I assume it's the same with other ventors isnt AMD providing vt instuctions set too ?
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be confusing to have several incompatible virtualisations system on the same host , which is not possible but afaik there is no abstraction service to switch from one system to an other.

Setting up network interfaces can be confusion, and supporting accelerated GPU is not fully supported, so it can be inappropriate to test opengl application, that said vmware with mesa gallium driver can be an alternative to consider.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used kvm to test some distros like Tizen:Common which are using the same architectures.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
you can also look for libvirt and virtman which is providing a nice user interface if you're not confortable with command lines or man pages. Something also useful is to disable the GUI windows and use ncurses mode to use the guest machine on host's terminal. Last but not least even if kvm is a good product maybe there are other way to address isolations needs, for instance containers can also be considered, check also for CGroups, LXC, docker, rocket ...

My experience with KVM

  • June 14, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Combined with LibVirt, KVM is one of the easiest and free hypervisors. Windows, Linux or UNIX operating systems runs without any problem. Windows drivers are provided compiled online from RedHat.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard for setup if it's used without Libvirt or a similar tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our infrastructure is based on KVM and Linux Containers. We had a lot of VMWare legacy but it was converted to Ubuntu and KVM hypervisor for about a year. Management and backup is a lot easier with with Ubuntu and KVM. Especially combined with ZFS and snapshotting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it with LibVirt or integrated system like ProxMox. ZFS for the file storage is a big advantage! Also, it can be used with storage clusters lice Ceph for a bigger environments. OpenStack, the industry standart for compute clouds is mostly compatible with KVM.

Maybe the best free Virtualization System

  • June 10, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

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 ) .
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

  • May 26, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

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.
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

  • May 21, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

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
