CentOS Reviews

We use it for the DNS server, and we have some in-house apps that we are running on it for internal processes.

Its performance is most valuable. There is a performance boost as compared to when the applications are run on Windows OS.

It could be more secure.

I have been using this solution for a few months.

It is stable. In the previous upgrade, there were a lot of bug fixes.

We have cluster nodes, so we can extend and have more servers in the cluster. When we have more incoming requests and more processes for extending functions of the software, we need to scale the server. We work with the vendor for maintaining the software and the server.

We have more than 300 users, and half of them are using the software.

Their support is good.

It took two to three days. We did it over the weekend, and we had two technical people.

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate it an eight out of 10.

Our file management system is based on CentOS.

It's quite good.

It is better than Ubuntu Linux.

We occasionally have issues with software installation. For example, if we want to install a gen framework, we will face some challenges.

I have been working with CentOS for approximately five years.

We are using the latest version of CentOS.

CentOS is a stable product.

In our organization, there are four or five users.

At the moment, we have no plans to increase our usage.

We have not yet contacted technical support.

We are also using Ubuntu Linux.

The installation can take up to a day, but it can also be completed in as little as 10 minutes.

We have a team of four or five engineers who will install and maintain this solution.

We have no complaints about the price, which is quite reasonable.

We have a CentOS license that we pay for on a yearly basis.

Both CentOS and Ubuntu Linux are great choices.

I would rate CentOS a nine out of ten.

We have been using CentOS for web-based applications, containers, and OpenStack.

The most valuable feature is the limited resources the solution uses in operation.

The solution could improve by making the management tools better for the DevOps teams. For example, WebEX and Webstacks.

I have been using CentOS for approximately 10 years.

CentOS is highly stable.

The solution is scalable but not at the operating system level.

Web-based applications are using this solution in my organization which many users could be using them.

CentOS is a free solution.

I would recommend this solution for the server-side.

I rate CentOS a nine out of ten.

We are using CentOS for some of our applications on one single server.

The solution is easy to use but not as easy as Windows.

The solution could improve by being more user-friendly.

I have been using CentOS for approximately five years.

The solution is highly stable.

The solution needs to improve on its scalability.

We have not needed to contact technical support.

The installation is a little difficult.

We have one engineer that does the implementation of this solution.

We are using a subscription-based license option for CentOS.

I would recommend this solution for applications that you want to have high stability.

I rate CentOS a seven out of ten.

The solution has many types of use cases. 

The configuration is very good. It is very easy to configure any application, et cetera.

The current version is stable.

The initial implementation is straightforward. 

The product is free to use.

Previous versions were unstable. 

I've been using the solution for close to four years. 

The solution is stable in its current form. This wasn't always the case. In earlier versions, it wasn't as stable as it is now. Currently, there are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. However, you do occasionally do still get some unstable packages.

The solution is only really scalable if you handle on-premises versions. However, you can scale it up and down as you need. 

We have close to 300 users using the product right now. 

I've never had to use technical support as everything is pretty straightforward. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

The installation is very straightforward. It's not overly complex or difficult. A company shouldn't have too much trouble handling it. 

The deployment is very quick. It's up and running in a matter of minutes. 

I've always handled the implementations myself. I've never used a consultant or integrator. It's easy to handle in-house. 

This product is free to use. It's great for companies with small budgets.

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.

This solution is a very robust operating system, particularly when compared to Windows. It's informative and easy to work with and there's no extra cost involved in installation which reduces our overheads. The monitoring is good. 

I think the GUI could be merged and expansion simplified; both those things would be an improvement. Upgrading servers could be simplified because increasing the hard disk is quite complex.

I've been using this solution for close to 12 years. 

This is a solid solution. 

The solution is scalable and flexible. Even after installing CentOS, it can be expanded.  

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

I recommend CentOS 8 if you're okay with the command line then there's no better option and it's open source. 

I rate this product a seven out of 10. 

We are using this solution as an operating system for scientific computing.

The most valuable feature is performance.

The solution might be discontinued but I hope that IBM will continue to develop it and improve on the functionally and features.

I have been using this solution for approximately 10 years.

The solution is stable.

We have more than 20 customers that use this solution scientific computing.

The installation easy and takes approximately 20 minutes.

We did the implementation ourselves and we have a team of seven engineers that do the implementation and maintenance. 

There is no license required for this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate CentOS a nine out of ten.

The solution provides useful information and has good compatibility. 

I'd like to see additional security and more coding tools. 

I've been using this solution for two years. 

This solution is stable. 

This solution is scalable, we have around 30 users. 

I wasn't involved in the initial setup but I believe it was straightforward. We have infrastructure related employees who dealt with the deployment. 

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