Arka A - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Solution Development Engineer at Ericsson
Enterprise workloads have run reliably while operations have reduced costs and simplified patching
AlmaLinux is already very strong, but it could be improved in a few areas. Better centralized management and monitoring, easier major version upgrades, and more enterprise-focused automation tools would make administration simpler. Having more integrated tools for patch management, compliance, configuration management, and troubleshooting could reduce manual work for system administrators. The main area for improvement is enterprise management. Better centralized patching, monitoring, compliance, and automation would make it easier to manage large-scale deployments. I would also like to see smoother and more predictable major version upgrades, especially for systems with third-party dependencies. AlmaLinux is already improving in this area through ELEvate and its migration tools.
Natalia Munera - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at Autonomic Mind
Automation has saved time and improved focus on strategic work
I think that when you are running CRM and at the same time Zoho Analytics, and at the same time Zoho Recruit, the apps get very slow. So I think Zoho has to improve on that, to ensure that the velocity or the speed is fast, even when you are using a lot of apps at the same time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"AlmaLinux provides free updates and security, unlike Red Hat, where support must be purchased separately."
"AlmaLinux has delivered a significant positive impact on my organization through cost savings while maintaining enterprise-level reliability."
"Using AlmaLinux was a condition to do my job, and right afterwards, I have been enjoying it."
"AlmaLinux is lightweight, so my hardware resource usage is very low, and I am able to use it effectively."
"AlmaLinux is a pretty fast software for handling those simulations and managing multiple jobs, and I can process my code and my simulation much faster than with Windows."
"AlmaLinux offers the best features in that it is freeware for RHEL, and it is really reliable."
"Moreover, stable OVS networking and floating IP configuration is very easy for me when using AlmaLinux, making it a reliable and highly recommended option for teams needing an enterprise-grade Red Hat compatible workflow without the subscription cost."
"Organizations should consider AlmaLinux if they want a stable, secure, and cost-effective enterprise Linux platform with strong RHEL compatibility."
"Zoho One is a good application; I think there are a lot of tools that help you to make your work faster, you can automate a lot of operative work, so you can save time in making detailed and operative activities and just focus on the strategic."
"Zoho One is fully customizable—in Zoho One, you get more than 45 applications, which include inventory management, accounting management, and CRM, as well as Zoho Creator, which allows you to create custom applications."
 

Cons

"For commercial support, enterprise-level SLAs, and dedicated assistance, AlmaLinux lists third-party commercial providers such as TuxCare, Cybertrust, and Fujitsu."
"After six months of migration, we ended up using more resources for the same websites, and that's not acceptable."
"If AlmaLinux could provide ten to twenty years of fixes, that would be an improvement because I do not want to update the system all the time, as it becomes more challenging for me as a system administrator to track all the patches and everything I should patch on the system."
"AlmaLinux could be improved by enhancing security and increasing speed."
"In terms of resource allocation, AlmaLinux requires you to have at least ten gigabytes of RAM storage and four gigabytes of CPU allocation."
"It is not supporting the latest hardware, so that is not good."
"To improve AlmaLinux, some commands could be automated, such as expanding the repository of AlmaLinux or improving the shell experience."
"AlmaLinux could be improved by addressing the slow adoption of new software and the dependency on Red Hat Enterprise Linux."
"I think that when you are running CRM and at the same time Zoho Analytics, and at the same time Zoho Recruit, the apps get very slow."
"The only area in Zoho One that can be improved is the support."
