What advice do you have for others considering CentOS?

I recommend CentOS for its stability and its ability to adapt to many software and applications. It is also very accessible.

I would recommend CentOS to other users because it supports the Red Hat flavor. It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools and systems. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The product's security features are really good. The integration capabilities of the product with other tools in the market are okay. CentOS is a lightweight operating system that offers stability. I would recommend CentOS or any other Linux-based tools. I have not used any AI with CentOS. CentOS is an open-source product, so there are no licensing costs attached to the tool. The value of using the solution is the fact that it is a lightweight product that is easy to implement. I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

CentOS provides very good cost efficiency. It is a very efficient operating system without any hassle or inconsistencies. I don't see much difference between CentOS and Ubuntu. Ubuntu has a few more user-friendly commands than CentOS. Once you are familiar with the flavors, CentOS is also very user-friendly. For a new user of Linux, Ubuntu is a little bit easier. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

There was nothing special that I liked about the product in terms of features that were positive for team management in our company. My company only needed a robust system that was also secure. Though my company knew about various Linux products, a major reason for opting for CentOS stemmed from the fact that it was closer to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I don't know about the stability and security features of the product since it was an area involving technical decisions that were taken care of by the technical domain in my company. Presently, there is no support available for the product, and I believe that the updates should also stop shortly. We did not need any technical staff to take care of the product since everything was okay with it until our company took care of the updates and upgrades provided by the tool. I feel that the product shouldn't be stopped, and CentOS should focus on improving the tool. The management of updates in the product was straightforward, and it used to happen every week, after which it was usually promoted to production, but it was all manual work, and my company did not try to automate it. I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

I rate CentOS a nine out of ten.

It is completely easy to maintain the solution. I haven't faced any issues with CentOS. For CentOS, I have a virtual environment on my laptop in a VMware workstation. If I face any issues with CentOS, it will be because of VMware workstation owing to the version or edition I use. CentOS is a good product for testing and learning purposes. You can go with CentOS or Linux if you are into cyber security. With CentOS, I didn't conduct or operate myself in a GUI environment for testing or learning purposes. I rate the overall product a ten out of ten.

We may be using version nine of the solution. This is a very widely known solution that is very stable. It's easy to find engineers comfortable with it since its usage is common. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I would rate this solution as five out of ten. Because there's an EOS, no one is willing to use CentOS anymore.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution is good, but the integration can be improved, and more security features could be included in the next release.

We are using the latest available version, which is on the cloud only. My understanding is that CentOS is a Red Hat product now, so CentOS is now converted to CentOS Stream. It's not open-source anymore. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I give the solution a nine out of ten. This solution is no longer supported and will not receive any updates going forward. Oracle Linux is similar to the solution and is also Red Hat compatible.

My advice to others is if they have a server environment then I would recommend CentOS. It's stable. One of the only letdowns is the repository for some applications, it takes time for CentOS to adapt. It has to do with the ecosystem of CentOS, I'm not sure. When comparing CentOS to Ubuntu, if Ubuntu comes out with a release today and a few days later you see you can install it. I rate CentOS a seven out of ten.

CentOS, Red Hat, Oracle Linux, and Fedora all share the same binaries, they have the exact same distribution, with very minor differences. CentOS started as a community project, a community enterprise operating system. It's basically free Red Hat. Red Hat was rebranded and called CentOS and released to the public. I have had a really good experience with CentOS 6 or CentOS 7, but I have abandoned CentOS completely since Red Hat has made its position of CentOS very clear. CentOS now is discontinued. Red Hat is releasing CentOS Stream, which is new. Before, what used to be the situation? Red Hat would release the Red Hat Linux distribution online version six, for example, at the same time, Red Hat would release CentOS 6. Red Hat and CentOS 6 had no differences, except the fact that with Red Hat you can actually get a support contract, whereas, with CentOS 6, you cannot get a support contract. CentOS and Red Hat are the same. There's no difference between CentOS and Red Hat. There used to be no difference between CentOS and Red Hat, but now CentOS is like Fedora. There's no difference, it's just a test bench, with the latest updates, but it is not as stable as it is before. Now, there was something called Fedora. Fedora is a Linux-based distribution. Usually, you have the latest updates, the brand new technologies, everything is in the Fedora, but it's not stable. Fedora is not stable. Red Hat is the one controlling CentOS. Whenever Red Hat would release a version, they would release the same CentOS to the public. The only difference was that CentOS is supported by the community, and Red Hat is supported by Red Hat, the enterprise by the business. They used to have a test bench, which is Fedora. Fedora is a distribution based both on Red Hat or CentOS, but packages are very up to date, which is not stable. Now, Red Hat made a decision to stop CentOS and make something new called CentOS Stream. This CentOS Stream is just like Fedora. It's not as stable as Red Hat. Before Red Hat was releasing a free version and a paid version. Both the free and the paid were the exact, same, they were identical, there were no differences. It has the same stability and the same everything. Now, CentOS is a test bench in which Red Hat releases the newest and latest code so that they can try it out on the community, to ensure that it is fine before they include it in Red Hat. CentOS is like Fedora. Good for testing, not for production, and not for servers. For the time being, I would not recommend this solution to others. At one time CentOS was definitely a nine out of ten, but now with these recent updates, I would rate CentOS a zero out of ten. Imagine if you would create something for a specific purpose, but then in the middle, you would change it and make it the exact opposite. That would make any person who chose it, hate it. I am very frustrated with the way the CentOS project has gone. I would rate it a Zero out of ten.

I have a hybrid setup. On the cloud, I'm using version 7.5. On-premise I'm on 8.3. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. If it was more reliable in terms of dealing with stability, it would be excellent. I'd recommend the solution to other users and companies.

CentOS is more simple than Windows, and I would rate it at ten on a scale from one to ten.

I recommend this solution and rate it nine out of 10.

At this point, because of the announcement that it will no longer be compatible with Red Hat in the future, I do not recommend this product. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

If you had to choose a Linux distribution for enterprise grade stability, then this would be the logical choice. If you want latest features and fast deployment of updates, then you might want to take a look at Ubuntu.
