Strong community with limited issues and prompt updates

  • December 13, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
security patches are released same day as the issue is seen in most cases

strength of kernel, maturity of the platform
What do you dislike about the product?
redhat 7 systemd changes a lot of workflows, new syntax takes time to get used to
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
redhat is the platform to host business critical application

the OS itself is very robust, and is almost never the root cause of any issues

Great supportable Linux platform

  • December 05, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RedHat has a first rate support organization and a platform that is stable. The attention to keeping the platform stable and enterprise ready is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
The costing structure to RedHat is a bit of a problem and really should be looked at by the organization moving forward. I feel like lower the entry point will make it a more adopted platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a stable Linux distribution for the enterprise that we could purchase manufacturer support for. This allowed us to reduce the expertise required and thus lowering our cost because we could rely more heavily on the vendor support.

Great quality that I recommend

  • November 30, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Red hat was used at my previous position daily. The open source support and compatibility with all applications our team used was impressive and ideal. Never had any problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using red hat Linux does take some getting used to, especially if you're a Microsoft only kind of person. It doesn't take long to feel confident though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My application was in defense and space with the programming of the different pieces in a military contact.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I definitely recommend others to look into red hat Enterprise Linux for their needs (with a real consideration towards their team's capability and strengths).

The best server operating system every created

  • November 03, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The operating system is rock solid and versatile. It can run for months with the most minimal of TLC (trust me I have done it). It comes with everything you need to run a basic website, a LAMP site, or a standalone database just by installing a few extra pieces of software that automatically come with the distribution. Just looking for a better desktop, okay; just put it at run level 5 and you have it. I have been using it for ten years for everything from database and web hosting to filling out surveys on my laptop.
What do you dislike about the product?
Finding affordable training is very difficult. In fact, in my experience the only training provide for Red Hat Linux is the main vendor and the resellers. There is not much, if any, wiggle room on the price.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Red Hat Linux as the back bone for core business infrastructure and have seen a high ROI in the way of uptime and overall stability. One system that was migrated from Windows to Red Hat had to be rebooted every three days in order to prevent a crash. After the migration, it ran non-stop for an entire month before we just took the system down for patches.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The great thing is you can try it before you buy it. Go to the website, download a trial copy, and play around with it. You will not be disappointed.

Solid foundation for enterprise apps

  • November 03, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The OS is extremely stable.
Reboots are pretty rare, usually necessitated by running applications or the JVM (no fault of the OS really).
We have setup authentication against a windows Active Directory, which is convenient in a mixed environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike about RedHat. Generally (for all Linux) the command-line centric interface is a double edge sword, powerful yet potentially difficult for the novice SysAdmin.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We just need a rock solid OS to run enterprise applications, mostly within a Java VM.
Red Hat does this very well. It just works and works, which is what we need in an OS.

Great solution for group computation

  • November 01, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It has an easy to operate interface, and it can be installed on many machines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not everyone has intuition for linux and this tends to lead to a high learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the need for united computation. It has realized such. This is to run particular software that is specifically run off the command line.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a safe and reliable operating system and it runs smoothly on many machines. The only downside is the learning curve.

Redhat Linux

  • October 26, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Operating system is widely used in every aspect of IT. Some aspects in my organizations are PABX installation (Asterick, Elastic, FreePBX). Installation steps are quite easy. The Operating system is easy to deploy and extremely fast. Also you can configure any settings either on a GUI or CLI or the terminal.

Red hat OS is a very secure OS and not so prone to viruses. Red Hat operates on a professional open-source business model based on open code, development within a community, professional quality assurance, and subscription-based customer support. They produce open-source code so that more programmers can make further adaptations and improvements.

Red Hat sells subscriptions for the support, training, and integration services that help customers in using their open-source software products. Customers pay one set price for unlimited access to services such as Red Hat Network and up to 24/7 support.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not user friendly as compared to windows OS versions. Sometimes might need to be worked on the CLI rather than the GUI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to develop better security on our applications, PABX solutions run effectively on our outbound Campaigns. My company presently uses a CRM solution which runs on Linux Red hat, apache and SQL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For Implementation of solid PABX systems such as Elastic and asterisk Free PABX, I would these recommend Linux Operating systems

RedHat Enterprise Linux is a great resource for support for RedHat Linux

  • October 25, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The online support resources are very good
What do you dislike about the product?
We use the less expensive Academic version, so there is only community support, which is not always as helpful as a live person for certain problems
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We rely on RedHat Linux for our group, so this product allows us to solve many issues we have with their support offering. Their support is substantially better than CentOS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need support, particularly for complex environments, RHEL is the way to go. However, if you need the latest, cutting edge updates, you may want Fedora. RHEL is usually behind on kernel versions and software packages. It really is mean for Enterprise; those locations that want stability over latest Linux updates.

Awesome and robust

  • October 25, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really like the focus on containerization. A plus is definetely security and the development speed. Also the registration process is easy compared to e.g. SUSE especially for containers.
Red Hat is going the right way with the focus on containerization and scalability.
What do you dislike about the product?
The repo policy is sometimes confusing and to get up to date programs can be annoying. For example the php shipped is outdated and you have to extra repositories to get an up to date version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We run tests for deployments of our Software (owncloud) and RedHat is the go to vendor when it comes to scalability, trust and reliability. It is used widely through our customer base and is well known and trustworthy all the way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Awesome product and ease of registration for enterprise ready containers.
