I use BlackBerry QNX because it's a reliable and secured real-time operating system suitable for embedded and safety-critical applications, especially in automotive and industrial devices. I appreciate its strong security and real-time performance, which are crucial for running safety-critical automated systems. The microkernel architecture and process isolation stand out as valuable features for me, ensuring tasks respond quickly and predictably. It's a reliable tool that can be used in office premises and for various users, thanks to its high security and real-time capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many aspects that can be improved with BlackBerry QNX. The main issue I find is the steep learning curve, which could be daunting at first. Also, the ecosystem is smaller compared to some other options, which limits the available resources. Better documentation and more accessible tools would greatly enhance the user experience. Additionally, an easier licensing process would make it more approachable for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about this platform is that it stands out for its reliability, deterministic real-time performance, and its microkernel architecture. Also, their operating system is designed specifically for critical applications where downtime or failure is not an option. I also liked their strong security model and other safety certifications, which support our virtualisation through multiple regulations and criteria. This platform is also a solid foundation for system development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge I faced in this platform is its learning curve, especially for our developers coming from a Linux-based environment. Their licensing and commercial deployment costs are higher compared with other open-source alternatives out there in this space. Also, their ecosystem and community resources are much smaller when compared with other open-source distributions. Their community feedback frequently points to cost as a consideration for even smaller projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that BlackBerry QNX is a very good Linux-based OS for embedded systems, offering good security and safety features, along with process monitoring and management from the OS/Kernel layer. Many of the commands in QNX are similar to Linux, which is convenient. The safety and security features it provides are beneficial because, as an embedded software company, we would otherwise need to implement these features from scratch, saving us a lot of time and effort. I find that some features like process management, process monitoring, and CPU monitoring are provided by QNX by default, which makes things easier for us. I also think QNX is very useful as an OS running on any embedded system, especially for running ADAS features. Setting it up was somewhat easy, due to the support from a different team within our organization. I would rate it a 9 out of 10 in recommending it to a friend or colleague.

Not much, just that some (very few as far as I know) of the Linux commands don't work in BlackBerry QNX or might have a completely different command for the same task. So to provide support for those commands/task could be one of the improvement areas for BlackBerry QNX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like BlackBerry QNX for its unmatched combination of real-time determinism, microkernel reliability, and built-in functional safety certifications. It provides consistent, low-latency performance essential in safety-critical environments. The fault-isolation architecture significantly reduces system-wide failure risks. Its pre-certified components simplify compliance for standards like ISO 26262, streamlining development time and risk. The real-time determinism ensures predictable response even under load, which is crucial for systems like automotive ADAS and industrial controls. The microkernel architecture allows for fault isolation, meaning a failure in one component won't crash the whole system, making debugging easier and improving system uptime. It's a trusted platform for mission-critical systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not entirely thrilled with BlackBerry QNX's resource footprint and hardware requirements. Its robustness comes with a relatively higher hardware cost compared to lighter RTOSes, and it performs best on more powerful SoCs, which isn't as cost-effective for simple, low-cost embedded endpoints. Also, the development tooling and ecosystem familiarity could be better. The QNX development environment is powerful but specialized, and new team members often face a learning curve since it's not as widely known or as familiar as Linux-based toolchains. It'd be great to have more modern, streamlined IDE integration to help speed up onboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It really gives high preference to security especially IOTs where most OS fail to provide good security making them vulnerable to hack threats Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Could be more user friendly, sometimes the interface is laggy or needs to be restarted Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BlackBerry QNX is built with security in mind. It is a real-time operating system (RTOS) capable of ensuring predictable reaction times in the face of unexpected occurrences. As a result, it's perfect for use in mission-critical applications like those found in the automobile and aerospace sectors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a sophisticated operating system that might take some time to master. This may be an issue for certain people. Blackberry QNX is not the most affordable operating system available. This may be a consideration for some organisations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many things to like about BlackBerry QNX, but some of my favorite features include its real-time operating system, its advanced security features, and its support for a wide range of devices and platforms. BlackBerry QNX is a great choice for businesses and organizations that need a reliable and secure operating system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few things that I dislike about BlackBerry QNX. First, the platform can be a bit challenging to develop for. Second, the app selection is not as robust as other platforms. Finally, the platform can be a bit unstable at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blackberry QNX is exceptionally good in developing the interface for infotainment systems and can be used in Connected Car tech, that make this stand out from the rest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The major downside of QNX Hypervisor is, it's not portable across other microservices, cause it doesn't support other microcontrollers, if that's improved this product would be a ground-breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QNX has two striking advantages that other "true" real-time operating systems cannot beat. First is its micro-kernel design in nature so it is very flexible and scalable. The second is it follows POSIX programming standard which is a great advantage to timing push to the market from idea to product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support. And in nature it is extremely difficult to build a complex system that has many components. This is because the bare micro-kernel only provides an ability of scheduling the components, however, if one wants those components systematically working together, to the end a monolithic kernel will be eventually evolved into from the microkernel, and if so, why not simply start from mature technology like Linux? That is, unless the poor performance, that is, giving up the potential not small amount of hardware ability to comply with slow message passing of qnx (so to loosely combine the components together), is tolerable, the QNX is not a good choice to go. Obviously if the system is simple enough, say only a few components like IOT stuff, it sounds like a competitive candidate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very good overall operating BlackBerry QNX system. Precise direction and operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As good as it is , there is always room for improvement. I think it can still be upgraded to a better and faster one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
