CentOS Reviews

I mainly use CentOS to host training-related applications.

CentOS' best feature is that it's the standard product for Linux, so it's well-supported.

It would be useful if reporting were included as part of the basic license.

I've been using CentOS for fifteen to sixteen years.

CentOS is stable.

CentOS is scalable.

The initial setup was straightforward and took between fifteen and thirty minutes.

CentOS is cheaper compared to Windows.

I would recommend CentOS to other users and rate it eight out of ten.

We use CentOS an operating system if we want to install or do some processing.

The most valuable feature of CentOS is the speed and it is very easy to use.

CentOS could improve by having troubleshooting logs.

I have been using CentOS for approximately 10 years.

CentOS is stable.

The scalability of CentOS is good.

The initial setup of CentOS is easy. You can do it with basic knowledge. The full deployment took approximately three hours.

We did the implementation of CentOS in-house. We have approximately two people for the implementation and maintenance.

I rate CentOS an eight out of ten.

CentOS is a platform that is specifically used for tools that are required in our organization.

We found a way to adapt it to our own needs.

It's one of two platforms that can work with the tools we use; without it, we couldn't do anything.

The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is free.

Continuous deployment is the only thing that can be improved.

I would like to see support in the next 10 years. They will discontinue support for some CentOS versions.

I have been working with CentOS for four years.

We're not working with the most recent version, but rather the one before it.

Only the most recent version is unstable. The versions previous and the most recent are usually stable.

It is a PC-only solution with CentOS installed on each PC, making it scalable.

We have 10 users in our organization.

We have no plans to increase our usage.

We have not contacted technical support. We haven't needed to.

I am also familiar with Xilin.

The initial setup was straightforward. I would rate the initial setup a two out of five.

It took approximately an hour to install CentOS on a PC.

We did not use a third party such as an integrator, reseller, or consultant. We completed the deployment ourselves.

CentOS is free.

There are no additional costs.

We evaluated Red Hat Fuse, which is a CentOS variant. We used CentOS as it's free.

I would recommend that you determine which CentOS version was used because some versions will no longer be supported in the coming years.

I would rate CentOS an eight out of ten. If they would continue to support the previous version, I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10.

CentOS is mainly used for server installations and VMs.

CentOS's most valuable features are that it's cost-saving and helps to scale down your usage.

CentOS could be improved with more user-friendly monitoring.

CentOS is stable.

We use CentOS on a VM, so it's fixed usage.

I've also used Debian and Ubuntu.

The initial setup was straightforward as it's a managed service, so we just needed to spin up the VM. Deployment took around four to five months.

We used an in-house team.

I would give CentOS a rating of eight out of ten.

The solution is the equivalent to Red Hat, so everything is good and very equivalent. If you can't afford to have Red Hat, you can use CentOS. I primarily use the solution for testing purposes. 

The product is stable.

The scalability is good.

It's less expensive than Red Hat. The product is open-source.

As an open-source solution, there isn't much technical support. 

I've used the solution for a few years now. It's been a while. 

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. Its performance is good.

I've never scaled it or tried to. That said, it must be. It is just a replica of Red Hat, and therefore it must be.

I use the solution myself, for personal use. My business unit is using this product and we may expand it to one or two more people. We wouldn't scale up to more than that.

I've never directly dealt with technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they would be.

The product is kind of open-source. I am not sure of the support model for this one.

We also use Red Hat.

The solution is not complicated. It is straightforward in terms of the setup process.

I'm able to handle the installation process myself. I do not need the help of any integrators or consultants. 

If a company cannot afford Red Hat, they should use this product.

It's an open-source solution.

I'm dealing with version seven or eight at this time. I can't remember which one. 

I'd recommend the solution to others.

I'd rate the solution a seven out of ten. If there was more support available to users, it would get a higher rating.

We use CentOS for our transactions and our data warehouse server. We established a replication between those servers.

The user interface of CentOS is intuitive, we can also use the command prompt. 

When comparing the GUI of CentOS to Microsoft Windows or Mac, it could improve.

I have been using CentOS for approximately eight years.

CentOS is open-source has good performance and is stable.

CentOS is a scalable solution.

I have not needed to contact technical support.

The installation of CentOS is simple, The solution can be used on servers and on personal computers. You are always able to pick what packages you would like to use with the installation.

There are no costs for CentOS, it is open-source.

We successfully installed MicroStrategy 10, Composer for PSP, Laravel, and many PSP libraries on CentOS. 

I would recommend CentOS to others if the users want to have an open-source solution.

I rate CentOS an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case of CentOS is running our personal applications. We use it on practically all of the machines and servers. It's deployed on-prem. 

A valuable features of CentOS is that it's quite stable and doesn't crash often. It's also quite intuitive. 

CentOS could be improved by being more secure. Of course, we use a firewall, but security is always a concern. 

We have been using this solution for almost eight years. 

This solution is quite stable and doesn't crash often. You only need one person to maintain it. 

There aren't any issues with scalability. It's easy to test our applications. 

Everything is totally on CentOS, so there are about 300 people in my organization using CentOS. 

We don't actually require much support for CentOS. 

We used to use Windows 7, but we had issues with licensing and other things. 

CentOS is quite easy to install. Our IT guys install it themselves and it doesn't take many people. The installation takes almost four hours, depending on the machine. If the machine is good, it can even be installed and updated in two hours. You can handle the installation yourself. 

We implemented through an in-house team. 

I rate this solution a nine out of ten. I would recommend CentOS to others because it's a good operating system. 

We use CentOS Seven.

The solution allows us to run our personal and business applications. 

Going forward, it would be nice to see how the container orchestration technologies are incorporated into this particular operating system baseline. I know that such platforms as OpenShift exist, but containers would basically be the norm. I want to see how CentOS can take it at the ground level up. 

The performance could stand improvement. 

While the solution is already secure, this could be improved. 

I have been using CentOS for ten years.

The solution is productive. It is good and is not buggy. While I have been using it for 25 years, I feel that it would be a mistake for me to get too attached to any specific operating system, as I come from a security domain background. 

The solution is scalable. 

The installation is straightforward. 

It takes less than an hour. 

One can handle the installation on his own. 

The solution is not subscription-based, unlike Red Hat. It involves recompiled binaries, so it does not come with a subscription fee. 

My role involves the management of security tools. 

I would always recommend the solution to others. 

Our support involves 50,000 servers, 90 percent of these being linux-based. 

I rate CentOS as a nine out of ten.
