Provide secure and easy to configure environment for software development
What do you like best about the product?
I like RHEL for the flexibility that it provides with using other open source tools. It also provides great security using SELinux contexts and firewall configurations.
What do you dislike about the product?
It may not be friendly for first time users. There is a lot of configurations that are handled through command line and knowing the file system structure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RHEL is providing the base operating system needed for running our applications. We are able to secure the system with firewalld policies, SELinux contexts. The capability of running as read only on the file system adds another extra layer to security to prevent malicious changes to configuration files.
