We performed a comparison between Flatcar Container Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Canonical, Oracle and others in Operating Systems (OS) for Business."Flatcar's support is good. The version I am using is stable and allows us to make needed changes."
"It is a good operating system. It is very stable. It does not take a lot of maintenance. You set it up well and it runs."
"With regard to security, most companies are moving towards the black box approach and Red Hat. It's much more secure compared to the other vendors."
"The solution has good availability and is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are the mobile applications and getting real-time notifications."
"The solution's use of Kubernetes as an internal or core process on the system is brilliant."
"The knowledge base they offer has proven to be quite efficient and we haven't encountered any significant challenges."
"It has improved our organization. It has standardized processes."
"OpenShift is the most valuable feature because it can be used to create applications on the fly."
"The development teams could sharpen their skills. They should offer applications on the net."
"I use Linux on Satellite with Ansible infrastructure. It would be great if there were a universal interface to control RHEL's policy from Satellite. It could be a dashboard showing which policies were enabled on what system and allow you to apply them from the dashboard."
"The operating system might not be able to handle big scientific problems which require a highly parallel system."
"Its pricing is good and competitive."
"Red Hat's standard deployment is with Satellite and Kickstart, but we're looking at other options to help speed it along. We do have a mix of bare metal and virtualized servers and it's easier to spin up in the virtualized world versus bare metal. That's why we're looking at some options outside of Red Hat, for the bare metal."
"The GUI has room for improvement. It needs to be managed by many administrators. It has basic command lines. They could improve it with better automation. We'd like to be able to create a script, and then have the ability to deploy it where we don't need to write everything manually. That part can be useful for automating."
"The Cockpit interface needs improvement with more features. The information for implementing Red Hat Cluster could be also improved. And there could also be better performance monitoring."
"The solution should provide demos so that users can learn to use it and improve their environments."
"As such, there are no specific features that we are looking for. We have frequent meetings with them. We have had some issues on the application side and the OS side for which we opened cases and discussed those concerns and questions in the meetings offered by Red Hat."
