Very good OS for Enterprise

  • March 14, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The RedHat linux platform is one of the best OSes I've used for software development. The massive amount of libraries available for free and general compatibility of most everything means it makes a project much more efficient.
Another important feature is the continous updates by the RedHat organization to continue to provide a secure system preventing hackers and malicious entities from breaching the firewalls.
What do you dislike about the product?
The poor UI compared to other Linux OS es such as Ubuntu. The REDHAT platform is heavily text based as it is meant to be used on remote servers rather than desktops; however, sometimes it is necessary to use it as a GUI and this functionality can be added. In addition there can be more of a webbased interface built native into the RedHat rather than finding third party platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We deployed to host our core software program to process massive amounts of data in real time and give us a result allowing our business to make a core decision. The high level of reliability and the high security give us a huge benefit as our systems can cause big problems for residents of California if hacked by malicious entities and defame our organization resulting in future funding cuts or excessive oversights.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best for those looking for highly secure system.

Fantastic Stable Enterprise Linux Distribution

  • March 14, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RHEL is a stable, long-term Supported, Enterprise-grade Linux distribution, with a fantastic company behind it and wide support from application vendors.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with CentOS, which follows RHEL, RHEL tends to lag behind in software updates, valuing stability over cutting-edge features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Migration away from Windows and big-iron platforms, to more commodity hardware platforms. Enables easy cloud integration, is very highly manageable, and easy to maintain.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider supporting a company that is truly committed to Open Source software and makes their money off services, not licenses.

Enterprise Operating System

  • December 17, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The system packages are tried and time-tested which means you won't get the bleeding edge versions, but you can count on them working. The RHEL community is large and Red Hat support is generally responsive to cases. The GUI in the desktop version is definitely a little older, but this is not meant to be a gaming platform, it's meant to be an enterprise OS for stability and security. The server is one of the only OS's I'll use in production.
What do you dislike about the product?
The continued reliance on YUM is, in my opinion, more antiquated than it's worth keeping around. DNF is coming in RHEL 8 hopefully. The pricing model for RHEL server is a little funky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm involved in building OpenStack clouds and Ceph clusters on RHEL 7.6. Considering both OpenStack and Ceph versions are supplied by Red Hat, it's an optimal fit.

Commandline is the best but the GUI is lacking behind and menu doesnt scale well time and too much non responsive as it consumes lof resources which is shortcoming for this.

  • October 31, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Redhat Enterprise Linux since 10 years now. They are simply the best to run softwares at enterprise level. We have a financial ERP and huge databases running on Redhat linux platform. I like the ease of maintenance of subscription, yum packages and other core technical features like OS level monitoring and scheduling.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tough to say what i don't like about Redhat Linux. But they can improve a little on default out of box auditing features. It's sometimes hard to investigate user activities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for hosting our multi-terabyte database servers and financial ERP.
