It is a certified real-time partitioning oprating system that helps in easily deployement of safety apllications worldwide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike about it, as it works effectively on our security applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is safety critical focus which makes suitable for application where failure could have catastrophic consequences.

It is certified for various safety standards like DO-178C.

It provides real time capabilities which allow tasks to be scheduled and executed with specific timing.

Middleware and connectivity.

Multi-core support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complexity for developing and configuring software for safety system.

Cost is high.

It has higher Resource overhead compared to lightweight OS.

Vendor lock-In is required due to safety system.

Customization challanges.

Third party softwares components and libraries with this OS requires additional effort to ensure compatibility and compliance with safety standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps us to reduce software crashes due to its real-time processing and memory management. As it has multithreading functionality and a scheduling algorithm. It also has functionality for microprocessor and microcontroller which help any application running on it to process thread real-time without any fail. On the other hand, if we compare it with other linux based systems it's faster and more secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as such works great for our application. The only one we face is it has low cache and flash memory area which causes us to use a significant amount of if we compare it with other operating RTOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LynxOS 178 is a faster and more secure flavour of linux Operating System, I am a Linux System Administrator and i have worked on multiple Linux flavours such as Ubuntu and Red Hat but i found it faster than the others.

The microprocessor and microcontroller feature is very helpful as it runs the processes in real time without failure.

After using it for a while i found that the operating system crashes way less than it competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far. Works just fine. I will edit my review if it changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The look and feel of operating system is just perfect for the use. We use it for deployment of our projects on daily basis. The commands of this os is effectively very good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We don't like its look. It is really outdated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about this is it's pretty fast as compared to other RTOS. it's more secure than Linux. As we know it's a real-time Operating System it comes with memory scheduling algorithms and real-time processing of threads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

none as such but there are a few we have to keep in mind before implementing. It has a low cache and buffers memory if we are going to use it in production we need more amount of memory as compared to other OS which is available in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is Real time, It follows POSIX standards, It is modular Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not any that I can think of, Learning curve is offcourse big. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like it most because it supports a lot of microcontroller porting, which use in the embedded domain and semiconductor market. I like its scheduling and deadline handling mechanisms for easy porting with the microprocessor. Its multiprocessing support gives the RTOS betterment. It has powerful performance and optimized operational packages to develop the software application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn't say I like it does not support all packages for memory optimization, which is highly required in all processor-based products. It is not supporting support the interrupt-driven firmware development in IoT-based products. It does not have multicore cache memory optimization. its client service is also wrong.

This is a great OS that has excellent multi threading. It has a descent security standard preventing us from requiring different security and standard certificates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very nice, just that it consumes much more memory than normal OS. Rest all is decent. I feel, it is nice for smaller number of programs to be run on schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This directing programming is very simple to utilize and set up for particular requirements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The information sync is somewhat awkward Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
