Linux as Operating System
What do you like best about the product?
Linux as Operating System is really good. Your computer boots up very soon and overall you get a good feeling ( as compared to Windows) Linux doesn't ask to restart your system for updates, whereas, Windows does. Even the newer versions of Windows does!
Linux doesn't need an antivirus, whereas Windows does! (at least the older versions of Windows require Antivirus) Overall, I recommend Linux to Windows!

My KVM review!
What do you like best about the product?
KVM has been for our company one of the best virtualization because It supports x86 infrastructure. It's open source and you can download it for free and use for development on your virtual machine. I would say it's easy to use when you know the commands and everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about KVM is the fact you have to know how to install it and it's not easy to install for everyone. Depending on the machines there may be incompatibility issues. The support takes more time to get a reply because it's a free product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We saved money with KVM because we needed servers with linux kernels and we just used KVM as virtualization. We installed many linux versions for the costumers and they were really greatful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend to everyone If you want an open source and free replacement for servers then you can give it a try. Configuration is really easy and doesn't takes a lot of time. This is a good solution If you want to install Windows on it. Don't forget this is an open source product so you can really trust this product for your company.
KVM handles everything we need
What do you like best about the product?
We run multiple versions of Linux servers for several clients on a few machines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing I have found to dislike yet after 2+ years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do server hosting for several clients who have a need for different versions of LInux - from RedHat 9.0 to CentOS 7.3. KVM handles all of the quite well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We run from one to four virtual Linux servers on one hypervisor. I understand KVM can run Windows virtual machines, but we have no need for that.
RedHat Enterprise Linux: A Linux Distribution worth paying for.
What do you like best about the product?
Linux operating systems tend to be very stable. Once you've set them up, they require very little downtime, except for patching purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Linux distributions can be difficult to configure if you are not familiar with them, and require a bit more effort to optimize than other operating systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RedHat Enterprise Linux makes for a wonderful server platform. Once you have it set up, there is very little interaction necessary, you can just let it run.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are free distributions of the Linux Operating system out there. The value in RedHat Enterprise Linux, which is what you pay for, is the support the company offers you.
The most used and suported
What do you like best about the product?
Rhel is scalable, reliable and broadly suported by most applications in multiple industries. The memory management is far superior for critical systems and its repositories are complete.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all the kb articles are available unless you pay for support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scalability, performance driven systems, high availability by clustering, stability and memory management are some of the advantages in database, BI, big data.
Redhat Enterprise Linux is very robust OS
What do you like best about the product?
Redhat Enterprise Linux is very robust operating systems compared to others. Easy to use, install, configure and maintain. Excellent support and thorough documentation for all kind of issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I don't like. Its working as per our expectiation but performacne can be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using RHEL on most of our servers. We are trying to impletment RHEL cluster to reduce cost.
red hat as a secure engine for databases
What do you like best about the product?
red hat was the first distribution to use the rpm engine to synthesize packages in a more efficient way, providing support unlike other operating systems, the red hat community is one of the active maas, being this mainly used for base engines of data for security and user-level support provided by this community, it should be noted that the rpm package analysis is for its support in libraries or repository libraries.
What do you dislike about the product?
their script is different from other operating systems such as for installing packages, rest libraries everything is fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
in datacenter environments it is widely used for its security layer at the firewall level and good management of database engines and the support provided by it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Within the considerations in the network task viewer hat is the most stable, its installation of rpm packages is one of the best for me since the installation and update of its repositories is automatically, once learned their sentences are makes its configuration very easy in server environments and data centers.
RedHat Enterprise for Small Business
What do you like best about the product?
What I like is the flexibility and the robustness of the system, you can use it for different scenarios or applications and you can customize it to your needs even after the installation. I like that RedHat is a company with good prestige in the area and they offer a solid and secure Operating System.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way the licensing is managed. I guess they can have a better way to manage that because sometimes is very difficult administer servers without the license to do updates or install new packages. I don't like that RedHat is focusing more in other areas and I think they are behind in the new features o the OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use RHEL for file server, print servers, mail server, web server, and almost anything for a small business necessities. We use Linux for a vast range of applications, from file servers to virtualization, but since CENTOS offers the same distribution as RedHat, we are moving some applications to CENTOS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can recommend to use CENTOS distribution if you don't need the RHEL support, it is the same distribution but without pay for the extra support.
