Unix is redefined as Linux

  • July 14, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?


i started my career as a COBOL and Unix developer. In 20+ years of experience I worked on various flovor of Unix like AIX, Magnix, Solaris and Linux. What I have noticed Linux has included many commands or arguments which we used to build via logic. For example grep -A, grep -B, sed -i, gzip etc these commands/ arguments were not there in IBM AIX. Due to technology advancement, Linux has incorporated these advance options/ commands and also the positive side is it an open source with great support systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
As such I didn't find anything to dislike. Easy installation, configuration and development of shell scripts. Definitely I will report if anything I find to dislike it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
What I heard it is free and open source, so managements are more inclined to move in Linux than legacy Unix systems. Being a developer I see the advantage of vast commands and switches options, so which is easy and quickly develop shell scripts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Blindly can rely on Linux. Now it is trusted and tested from many years in the market. Having awesome support system.

What do you like best about the product?
It is an extremely stable operating system and runs many of the servers in our company. The support is top-notch.
What do you dislike about the product?
RHEL currently has a quite large cost, which can be detrimental for some people. There is no standard edition for Red Hat. Linux like Windows and HP Red Hat tend to lag behind in terms of innovation compared to Oracle Solaris.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Highly recommended operating system We keep things simple, so any problems are usually caused by real bugs, and when we send reports, HR fixes them quickly. Highly recommended operating system
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In most cases, it is a much better solution than running Windows-based servers. Decide if you have enough guests to work with virtual licensing or if ad-hoc is better. Decide if you have enough guests to work with virtual licensing or if ad-hoc is better.

Hello Red Hat

  • April 30, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Red Hat is not complicated and you reap the benefits of the platform, Linux, while using a standard OS. You have the option of a gui, if command line is not your thing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support of the product can be frustrating when contacting technical support. Red Hat expects you to know the system, meanwhile you are calling them for support. Tech support can sometimes lead you in the wrong direction, not sure if this is lack of training or bad techs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lowering costs and standardizing on a well known platform. Integration with mainstream applications. Simple deployment and the tools to plan and secure the systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a look at another OS. Then compare it to Red Hat, you will be rewarded for your choice.
