CentOS Reviews

We deploy our products onto the solution. We use it as an OS. Our support team deploys it to customers. 

Overall, the solution works well. 

The team is very comfortable using it. 

It is very simple and straightforward to set up.

The solution is stable.

It's open-source.

The solution is easy to troubleshoot.

As a well-known product, it's easy to find people who know the solution well. 

I'm not an expert on the solution. I cannot pinpoint specific issues. 

The solution could be more scalable.

The company has used the solution for more than ten years, and I have used the solution in the company for one year (since I came on board).

The stability is very good. I'd rate it eight or nine out of ten. There are no bugs or glitches. We haven't had any issues. There haven't been any crashes. It doesn't freeze. 

The scalability could be better. It doesn't scale that well. I'd rate the scalability seven or eight out of ten.

We have around 50 people, our support team, using the solution. 

Our support team deploys the solution on the customer side to assist customers, so the amount of usage would depend on the number of customers we have.

We get support from a vendor. It's open source. We can figure out how to troubleshoot on our own. 

I've also used Oracle Linux as well. We put deep packet processing on the Linux solution.

We haven't had issues with the setup. The support team is comfortable handling the setup. 

The deployment isn't too long. I didn't get a sense that the deployment took too long. 

They mostly give you a file, and it's deployed in a single step. It's not a big project.

We have about five people who handle deployment and maintenance. 

The solution is open-source. We do not pay a licensing fee. 

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. 

The product is based on Red Hat and very stable. 

The tool has no official support. 

The product helps us to create applications. 

We had used support in the past and it was good. 

The product's setup is simple. You can deploy the solution in one hour. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. One admin is enough to maintain the product. 

CentOS is an operating system, and our applications are running on EC2 instances.

I am using the latest version, which is version 6.9. 

It's a Linux operating system, but it's compatible with cloud solutions.

This solution is used by over 1,000 clients. We don't plan on increasing usage because Red Hat announced that support has ended for CentOS.

 The open architecture is useful for us. That's why we're using CentOS. 

The main issue is the End of Support. For that reason, we will switch to another operating system.

I have used CentOS for over eight years.

The solution is stable.

It's scalable.

Installation is straightforward. Deployment takes 10 minutes with EC2. In AWS, there is nothing to install because it's ready.

I would rate this solution as five out of ten. 

Because there's an EOS, no one is willing to use CentOS anymore.

Our primary use case for the solution is utilizing it as an OS in a virtualized environment. It helps us install and deploy our applications and other services accessed by other users, internally and externally. The solution is deployed on-premises.

We have found the ease of integration valuable. The solution is easy to integrate with other applications and with other services. For example, if you want to deploy something, it simplifies the integration with other applications and services.

The solution could include more integration of third-party solutions to check on the quality and vulnerabilities of the code.

We have been using the solution for approximately two years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. Approximately 1000 users are utilizing the solution.

The initial setup was straightforward, and deployment took two to four hours.

We implemented the solution in-house. Five developers are required for deployment.

The license is affordable. I rate the price a ten out of ten.

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.

The primary use case for the solution is to host web servers, application servers, or databases.

The most valuable feature of the solution is the stability and performance of the server.

The solution is an open-source version of Red Hat without some of the features. The solution can be improved by including some of the Red Hat features for free.

I have been using the solution for over ten years.

The solution is extremely stable.

The solution can be scalable depending on what you are using the server for. If you use the solution as a visualization system, it is scalable, but difficult to scale without having to use additional tools. Linux-based solutions require a lot of manual work unless other tools are used to automate.

The solution is open source and does not have any official support only other users on forums. 

The setup is straightforward for advanced users and administrators. If you are a beginner the setup can be quite difficult, especially with the partitioning phase. The basic installation on the premises only takes ten minutes. If you are installing on the cloud there are a few extra steps that can take up to 20 minutes such as the provider's security, networking, public IP addresses, and some rules that have to be configured before the system is ready.

The implementation was completed in-house.

The solution is open-source and does not have any costs or licensing fees.

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. I recommend that anyone thinking about using this solution switch to Oracle Linux.

For anyone interested in trying the solution there is a lot of information and support that is freely available online.

We use this solution for web applications. We are customers of CentOS and I'm head of the operations and compliance department.

The product is very efficient when it comes to virtualization and good from a security perspective. 

I'd like to see better integration with Open Stack, because it can be a bit of a struggle. The solution requires a lot of experience on Linux. I'd like to see the GUI become more user-friendly so that someone who doesn't have much experience can use it. 

I've been using this solution for 20 years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable.

The initial setup was easy given my level of experience with Linux. Installation takes about 20 minutes, and then extra time for deploying some tools. I generally carry out the maintenance for our company.

We're using the open-source version of CentOS.

I sometimes use Ubuntu for network service. The main difference is that if you don't upgrade with Ubuntu, you have to change the source and that can create problems that we don't experience with CentOS.

If you have experience with this solution, it's a good product. Without sufficient knowledge of Linux it's important to purchase support with the product. 

I rate this product 10 out of 10.

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.
