Repeatable, customizable deployments.

RHEL - Linux for the Enterprise

  • May 19, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RHEL provides an easy supportable off-the-shelf product that any enterprise can deploy and know that that right management, support, and roadmap guidance will be provided to provide value to the Enterprise. Customer Service and support makes RHEL easy to implement and deploy throughout the environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
RHEL's value comes from the support maintenance contract, which does add a cost to an open-source product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Standardizing Linux deployments and provide commercial support, including FIPS certification

What do you like best about the product?
It provides a secure OS for my company's product. Keeps up with industry trends to stay ahead of the curve and work toward security and innovative solutions.
Customer portal is very intuitive with many tutorials allowing me to fully understand how to use the product for my needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more support on how to transition products on RHEL to a Wayland compositor with using Xwayland for x11 native window managers. More conversation and support around this transition specifically would be very helpful to our needs with our upcoming RHEL10 transition
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security and adaptability

RHEL daily driver

  • May 19, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RPM packaging. Creating my own RPMs is far easier than creating my own DEB packages. The idea just makes sense. Stability of RHEL is also big.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that RHEL locks answers to questions that people have asked behind a login screen. It feels against the spirit of open source.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has an expansive array of government accreditations that I need to perform my daily role
