Best for your application hosting and for servers. > > **Cons**: The graphical user interface (GUI) should be more interactive so that end users can work more efficiently. Users still prefer to operate on a Windows-based operating system. > > I am using this OS in CLI mode and it performs very well it is best for my servers and hosting of websites and applications. ----- ### "Best free of charge linux for workstations, or at least it was" — 5.0/5 > **Francisco Alberto** | *15 September 2021* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The implementation of RHEL is well know within the enterprise world, and for the case of a network infrastructure is almost perfect, CentOS was the best free alternative, sadly it will come to an end. > > **Cons**: There is a learning curve and in terms of security is good, but that comes with a cost like the repository implementation, is not the best, is almost like Fedora, it just make things a little bit more complicated. > > Cent OS helped us for the implementation of a remote server with stability and security ----- ### "Great product" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 August 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to manage for Sys Admins, easy commands > > **Cons**: More User Friendly, It needs to implements a GUI as defaults ----- ### "My experience of using Cent OS" — 5.0/5 > **Md Faizur Rahman** | *8 October 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really like Cent OS Linux. It meets all my specifications for software and does it without any problems. Was looking for something that wasn't too technical, didn't require a lot of time commitment or expenditure and was compatible with most operating systems and hardware. I found it in Cent OS Linux > > **Cons**: It has no bad sides which I have faced. So I love it most and recommended it. > > Cent OS Linux is the greatest piece of software in the world. I mean, it's a really really really great operating system. ----- ### "CentOS Linux, review" — 5.0/5 > **Ricardo** | *15 July 2022* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a dominant operating system in servers due to features, price and security, since CentOs is based on Red Hat Enterprise and is supported by its products at no cost. Security updates are fast and it is a stable and efficient operating system. I have used it based on asterisk for the administration of telephone exchanges and on Centos to install CCTV software which has been wonderful for me > > **Cons**: One of the things I don't like is that to scale you have to add servers, we have limitations for synchronized audio and video and if the server fails everything fails ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2047042/centos-linux?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2047042/centos-linux) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
