RHEL - Reliable, Secure, and Automation-Ready - Highly Recommended
Reviewed on Dec 09, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I use Red Hat Enterprise Linux for its stable and secure environments, which are vital for automation and CI/CD workflows. I really like how robust the system is, especially during updates and long-running workloads. Built-in tools like SELinux, yum/dnf, and systemd make management smooth, and it integrates well with automation tools like Ansible. SELinux provides strong security by controlling access and enforcing policies. Yum/dnf makes package management seamless and keeps systems up to date. Systemd simplifies service management and the system boot process. Together, all these make Red Hat Enterprise Linux secure, reliable, and easy to maintain.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the subscription cost could be higher for smaller teams, and occasional updates or patches can introduce compatibility issues. The learning curve for some advanced features like SELinux can also be steep for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Red Hat Enterprise Linux for stable, secure environments. It provides a predictable, secure setup, simplifies patching, package management, and troubleshooting, saving time in QA and DevOps workflows.

Stable, Secure, Yet Pricey with Setup Challenges
Reviewed on Dec 09, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I find Red Hat Enterprise Linux very useful because of its support, long-term support, and stability, which are some of the biggest advantages of using this environment. The support measures like forums, and regular bug fixes help me stay updated with the security standards. I also appreciate its enterprise-grade security, which is often used in high-level industries, and this exposure helps me become familiar with the system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the price limits could be improved. Even though it is updated, the newer standards are adopted very slowly and there should be an update every few years to adopt new standards. Also, installing drivers is a multi-step command line process which requires enabling the EPL deposit, installing the tools, and other things. It would be better if it were more of a one-click process because the additional drivers in the UI are secondary here. The partitioning aspect during setup was difficult; the manual tool is complex, which can be challenging for beginners due to the required planning and navigation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux helped me tackle the problem of unreliability in server hosting for my AIML projects.
