  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like this operating system because it has the stability and security of Linux, I am sure of viruses and computer attacks because it is always up to date, updates come immediately to my PC.
Linux is difficult to use, but RHEL makes everything easier, a system with professional support, work packages and web server always active.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Very good operating system for both servers and workstations but more geared to servers

  • November 05, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Redhat maintains an excellent software repository that is heavily scrutinized to ensure compatibility for users and systems administrators.As an operating system, their disk and volume management is on par with AIX and Solaris. Software installation is easily manageable. One area I definitely like is setting up Identity Management. RedHat have made implementing and managing extremely easy. One area that RedHat shines is dedicating their focus on reliability and security updates. This is extremely important for compliance. Their workstation offerings add alot of much needed windows display managers including those for systems that have limited resources. This is a plus as we use alot of thin client systems and RedHat workstation is definately suited for that task.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a more enterprise class of virtualization (i.e KVM is still not on par with VMware and Solaris). More over their licensing schema is a bit unwieldy when it comes to running from a centralized on site server and setup is extremely cumbersome and unreliable. Also wish they would include more options for out of the box database systems as far as including more than just one flavor of MySQL, in this case MariaDB.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use a combination of Redhat servers and workstations for engineering and science related applications
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Redhat Enterprise linux is not for beginners. If you are coming from a Windows Systems side you will need more training on unix/linux operating systems to become an adequate systems administrator

Professional Linux System for Companies with support.

  • October 13, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I can use this operating system for my company, it is perfect for all my network needs, security and stability of my personal data on all PCs with Linux system. There are always updates of improvements in the system, access is unlimited for all users with a single payment, saving money with this function.
Firewall email and security service, with this I configure everything necessary for the stability and security of my system against attacks by viruses or hackers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Red Hat services are very expensive just for one service, having so many functions is difficult to configure everything.
More office programs are missing in this system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use this system for network services from a server, I configure the security of my internal network with Firewall, VPN, DDoS attack, email, DNS service to speed up the loading of web pages, printer service, NAS and much more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you know how to use Linux and need security and stability, Red Hat is perfect, although any Linux system is secure and stable, but Red Hat offers more benefits for network services and support.
