Massimiliano Adamo - PeerSpot reviewer
Linux architect at European Commission
Has supported seamless migrations and enabled running complex data workloads securely
The best features Rocky Linux offers include clustering and all the packages from Red Hat.Rocky Linux has impacted my organization very positively because we migrated everything from CentOS and Windows servers to Rocky Linux. Everything is clear, with good packaging, and now it's version 9.6, which is very important for us due to security problems since we are in Europe. Rocky Linux is very good for security and other aspects. Since migrating to Rocky Linux, I've seen specific outcomes such as improved security because CentOS stopped the project, and security patches aren't being released. We need to maintain a system similar to Red Hat, which is very stable and has many features such as file system, topology, and containers.
Jatin Rao - PeerSpot reviewer
Zoho Developer at Tarini Consulting
Integration capabilities enhance operational efficiency while limited support impacts overall satisfaction
The most valuable feature in Zoho One is integration. You can either use custom integration using Deluge script, or there is another tool called Zoho Flow, which is similar to Zapier, where you can use it to integrate different applications. You can create webhooks, and you can use different methods to integrate all different things. Integration capability is the field where Zoho One is used mostly. Zoho One uses Zoho Analytics, which is among the top tools in the market for analytics, reporting, and dashboards. When you are using one of the top tools in the market for analytics and have its integration available, you can integrate with any of the Zoho One applications, which includes more than 45 applications, including CRM and Books. This provides you with high analytics capabilities, allowing you to create a report for anything, from anywhere, for any process.

Pros

"Rocky Linux is suitable for our needs... we have a very good team with high skills in Linux and development, and it works correctly with no enterprise cost or enterprise license."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"Rocky Linux provides us with extended maintenance, security patches, and support lifecycle aligned with RHEL, making it highly reliable for critical systems."
"I haven't needed to use customer service or support, which speaks volumes about their product's reliability and ease of use."
"Rocky Linux is best for someone who wants good scalability, enterprise-grade stability, substantial community engagement, compatibility with RHEL, and strong security."
"In my opinion, the best features Rocky Linux offers are stability, compatibility, and community support, all of which I think are extremely necessary and essential for the distribution, and I find that all three pillars are very supported by Rocky Linux."
"The best features Rocky Linux offers, in my experience, are its simplicity, which helps us troubleshoot effectively, along with enhanced security features, security hardening capabilities, and the ability to perform regular patches."
"Rocky Linux performs excellently in low-latency live streaming and content packaging workflows, as we use it for optimizing compatibility with the streaming platforms, utilizing an optimized kernel for networking, tuning profiles, IRQ affinity, security, reliability, and hardware and driver support."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I chose a rating of eight out of ten because Rocky Linux must grow more; it is not as comparable to Red Hat, which is why I took off those two points."
"The only drawback we have seen is that even though there are timely deliveries of security patches and vulnerability fixes, the Rocky Linux Security Advisor or RLSA updates via the DNF utilities are broken or delayed."
"In terms of scalability, you need to have automation tools."
"To be honest, Rocky Linux is almost similar to each Linux distribution, so I have no specific reason why it should offer me its features."
"I see some performance-related issues, but we are still checking on that, and we don't know if it is related to the OS or the resource; that is something still to be checked from our end."
"Currently, the customer support for Rocky Linux is not fully developed and is in a growing stage; the customer support is also not very responsive."
"One of the potential issues is that if you don't pay for support, you may need to manage certain aspects on your own and rely on the community for assistance."
"In terms of improvement, Rocky Linux needs to clarify its identity and target audience."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to the market prices of other tools, the solution has a very competitive pricing."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a three."
