Good, solid OS
What do you like best about the product?
Extremely stable, good support, easy to find help online since it's so widely used.
What do you dislike about the product?
Steep learning curve, must know the syntax and be familiar with CLI
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Stable, less micromanagement to keep things running, no weird bugs that seem to pop up all the time in Windows
My favorite enterprise Linux distribution.
What do you like best about the product?
Support from RedHat is excellent, as well as the OS, which is my first choice when it comes to deploying servers. It is also pretty easy to use once you get accustomed to it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some packages are not the latest version and not even the previous one. For example, if you try to install PHP you will get PHP 5.4, which has already been surpassed by PHP 5.5, PHP 5.6 and PHP7. This is done for safety reasons, though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used to host the backend for the Wikimania 2016 web application, with great benefits to the administration and speed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you come from a Debian environment, you may need to get accustomed to the differences.
The professional Linux
What do you like best about the product?
Support! If you need to create a huge solution never skip a good support. I am not saying that other distro you won't have support. Sure you will find solutions to solve problems, however when you have millions of users affected is better to find a solution really really fast. And RedHat will help on that... for a price.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest I prefere to use Debian on my laptop just because I love Debian way and RedHat is a bit different and for me seams to have some files in a wrong place. Of course that people that prefere RedHat maybe will say the same if compare with Debian. Is like discus sports or religion, you should avoid doing that :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Millions of PayTV and telecom boxes connecting on our servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Any Linux is good, however if your business is doing well you need to think if you want to contract outstanding linux professional (in house solution) or pay for outstanding linux support (RedHat).
Solid education and coding OS
What do you like best about the product?
Fast, reliable Linux distro. Great coding environment. Solid pre-installed application base.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is a bit garish and dated. Some default apps are not ideal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used primarily for compiling code in educational environment. CAEN systems run this!
KVM the FLOSS virtualisation solution
What do you like best about the product?
Kvm is supporting Intel's VMX hardware virtualization which is optimal on intel powered system, I assume it's the same with other ventors isnt AMD providing vt instuctions set too ?
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be confusing to have several incompatible virtualisations system on the same host , which is not possible but afaik there is no abstraction service to switch from one system to an other.
Setting up network interfaces can be confusion, and supporting accelerated GPU is not fully supported, so it can be inappropriate to test opengl application, that said vmware with mesa gallium driver can be an alternative to consider.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used kvm to test some distros like Tizen:Common which are using the same architectures.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
you can also look for libvirt and virtman which is providing a nice user interface if you're not confortable with command lines or man pages. Something also useful is to disable the GUI windows and use ncurses mode to use the guest machine on host's terminal. Last but not least even if kvm is a good product maybe there are other way to address isolations needs, for instance containers can also be considered, check also for CGroups, LXC, docker, rocket ...
My experience with KVM
What do you like best about the product?
Combined with LibVirt, KVM is one of the easiest and free hypervisors. Windows, Linux or UNIX operating systems runs without any problem. Windows drivers are provided compiled online from RedHat.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard for setup if it's used without Libvirt or a similar tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our infrastructure is based on KVM and Linux Containers. We had a lot of VMWare legacy but it was converted to Ubuntu and KVM hypervisor for about a year. Management and backup is a lot easier with with Ubuntu and KVM. Especially combined with ZFS and snapshotting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it with LibVirt or integrated system like ProxMox. ZFS for the file storage is a big advantage! Also, it can be used with storage clusters lice Ceph for a bigger environments. OpenStack, the industry standart for compute clouds is mostly compatible with KVM.
Maybe the best free Virtualization System
What do you like best about the product?
The first fact that I like a lot about KVM is that it is a free and open source software, and it does not lack any of the features that other propertiary competitors provide .
Additionally it's easy to grasp and configure .
Finally , it's performance and reliability are very good ( comparable or even better that any of the alternatives ) .

Finally , it's performance and reliability are very good ( comparable or even better that any of the alternatives ) .
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside that I can think of is that it lacks availability for other processor architectures ( with ARM and RISK being the most important ) . This feature might also be very useful in the embedded system community .
Other than that I am very satisfied with this product .
Other than that I am very satisfied with this product .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using KVM for running different virtual machines that provide different services in the Intranet without the need of many different physical servers .
Also using KVM for deploying virtual machines for testing new features .
Also using KVM for deploying virtual machines for testing new features .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a full virtualization solution go with it ! It surpasses all the alternatives that I am aware of .
It wil not take long to learn how the configuration works so you will get the benefits pretty fast .

Best solution for automating application and ETL batch jobs
What do you like best about the product?
All functionality and features available. Easy to install, upgrade and maintain open source applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
upgrading the OS between major versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
all our ETL and application programming is run on this server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
easy to implement all solutions and schedule batch jobs using shell scripts.
Virtualization of a testing environment for IPv6 network testing
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that KVM is Open Source software and thus compatible with a lot of applications that can be easily run in a Linux server with a very low cost.
I also find KVM lighter than other solutions in terms of hardware requirements.
I also find KVM lighter than other solutions in terms of hardware requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
KVM is not available for all the processors. Also the process of setting up a network is not as easy as with other solutions.
I did run into some implementation bugs but they were fixed in newer versions.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used KVM to test IPv6 integration in a testing network environment. The aim was to learn the differences from a sysadmin point of view of administrating an IPv6 network to IPv4 networks.
