Stable Linux OS and top notch support
What do you like best about the product?
Red Hat's vulnerability notifications. When they discover something that needs to be fixed, we are alerted right away.

Nothing, RedHat provides everything that we needed to deploy our servers. If I HAD to say something bad about it, the licensing is a little tricky for first time users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have custom applications that run on ruby on rails. Having a supported and current OS is a must in today's world.

Redhat review
What do you like best about the product?
RedHat Linux is widely used among many of my customers so it makes it easy for me to support my products. Their documentation is great so I can easily find what I need to resolve issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't like is the editting toosls, not necessarily because they're bad, but user error. I'm not very good with using them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work with customers to resolve communications issues. Benefits are the ease of use and great documentation they provide.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep up the good work. The product is great.
Exceptional Performance; Nearly Zero Downtime
What do you like best about the product?
What could be said about RHEL that hasn't already been said? Fanastic Linux distro with top-tier support and an incredible user community. This is one of the top used Distros in the world and while it is paid for, it is well worth the enterprise support received.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really nothing bad can be said about RHEL. If you are familiar with Linux and need the enterprise support and patching then this is the way to go. Perhaps, not so much a dislike, but worth nothing that companies that implement RHEL may require RHEL specific certifications before allowing you to touch the hardware, even if you are familiar with other distros.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data processing, patching, automation, development and much more. Everything is streamlined and efficient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need the top-tier support that comes with RHEL then there is no reason not to consider switching. While other Distros may offer the same functionality, you will always have support when needed and patching when required.
Solid build with lots of features
What do you like best about the product?
Reliable easy to maintain and administering
What do you dislike about the product?
Some applications like accounting databases requires some high level of knowledge to be properly implemented
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Little bit of learning if you come from Windows Server, but well deserved.

Relying on a community of helpful people for support is a different mindset compared to using Windows Server or Mac OSX where there is a corporation to call for support.
Note: The community is always incredibly helpful!
