Long-term use has simplified web hosting and testing for diverse on-premises environments

  • April 14, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use cases for AlmaLinux include running Apache and sub-applications for our web application. I also use it for long-term support capabilities. I use it for testing, production servers, VMs, and other infrastructure needs. I use AlmaLinux for production, UAT, and test environments, as well as for cloud containerization.

AlmaLinux helps with these use cases by allowing me to use the virtual environment for hosting our web application using Apache services. I use it for both testing and production environments. It is compatible because it is robust and has efficient storage for application deployment.

Different types of developers in my organization use AlmaLinux for building applications. We use AlmaLinux rather than Windows subsystem for our projects, testing, UAT, and production work.

AlmaLinux's open-source nature stands out the most for my team. We do not directly use CentOS or Windows servers. AlmaLinux is compatible with our application for testing purposes. We perform stage-to-stage checking, updating, and patching of applications for security reasons and assessment testing. It is suitable for our environment.

AlmaLinux is supported on high-performance computing, which I find valuable for my main use cases.

What is most valuable?

The GUI features are excellent, and I find both the GUI features and console access valuable about AlmaLinux.

AlmaLinux has positively impacted our organization.

We are using the web application in our on-premises environment. It is faster for deployment and comfortable for our on-premises environment, allowing us to handle and manage it smoothly.

What needs improvement?

I do not wish to add anything regarding needed improvements.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using AlmaLinux for five years.

What other advice do I have?

AlmaLinux is better than other Linux flavors, and I recommend it for maintaining systems. To make it better, utilize the GUI so that you can use it more effectively for your computers. I have given this product a rating of eight out of ten.

Offers a reliable operating system with predictable updates for versatile Linux server deployment

  • April 24, 2025
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

I use AlmaLinux as the base operating system for all of our Linux servers. Our environment includes use cases that range from a load balancer on the NGINX platform to our monitoring software, Check Point, on AlmaLinux. We also run Microsoft SQL Server on AlmaLinux.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of AlmaLinux are its long-term support, which is a significant advantage as CentOS lacks it. AlmaLinux has a predictable update cycle unlike Fedora and the frequent updates of CentOS from Red Hat. Additionally, AlmaLinux offers excellent stability.

What needs improvement?

It is hard to say what needs improvement because I am on the operations side and focus on installing servers and running our software.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have had experience with AlmaLinux for about five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is excellent. So far, I have not experienced any issues with AlmaLinux, apart from problems related to our own software, which is a separate story.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the scalability as nine.

How are customer service and support?

I have not used AlmaLinux support at all. I rely on the extensive documentation available online and various forums. Additionally, my team has several individuals who are very familiar with AlmaLinux, and we have been managing well on our own.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I previously used CentOS but switched to AlmaLinux when CentOS started having issues.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is pretty much straightforward. I use automation tools such as Ansible for the installation process, making deployment efficient regardless of whether it's AWS or on-site.

What about the implementation team?

I use Ansible to install any servers in my environment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

AlmaLinux is free of charge, which is why I chose this distribution. It offers an alternative to Red Hat, which is free only without support and updates. AlmaLinux provides free updates and security, unlike Red Hat, where support must be purchased separately.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I previously used CentOS before switching to AlmaLinux.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate AlmaLinux a ten. I would recommend AlmaLinux because it is a stable, simple operating system with a straightforward installation process that I have found reliable so far without any glitches. I rate the overall solution ten out of ten.
