RHEL for Enterprise SAP systems

  • January 13, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I personally think that RHEL is best for SAP implementations as we use it for that. We perform many activities in the system these are the things I noticed - patches, customer support and enterprise level security it provides. RHEL has a great lifecycle management it has a good long term support and the OS is very stable.

YUM ( We use it to install patches) makes it easier for removing any outdated packages and install / update the newer versions which helps in removing unknown threats. It is bit difficult to use CLI environments as there is no GUI.

Our systems are on AWS Cloud, so it gives ease of installation and implementation as you know that AWS will auto install the OS we chose into the VM.
What do you dislike about the product?
2 major factors I noticed are that RHEL is mainly designed for server environments and it may not be stable in desktop environments.

The other one is RHEL won't support older software like other alternatives do.

So, I suggest to look for alternatives like SUSE if you are looking it for Desktop Environments but if you want to deploy to Cloud I would recommend it and if you are looking for HA systems and need a load balancer then please go with SUSE instead of RHEL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use RHEL in our everyday tasks, RHEL is our primary OS for AWS servers. It is very stable compared to our servers in Azure which are running SUSE. Some benefits we have are:
1. Stable OS
2. Enterprise Scalability
3. Ansible for Automation
4. Ease of integration with other RedHat Softwares.

We are using SUSE in Azure for load balancing as it is more suitable for the environment.
