Hello Red Hat
What do you like best about the product?
Red Hat is not complicated and you reap the benefits of the platform, Linux, while using a standard OS. You have the option of a gui, if command line is not your thing.

Best Operating System , virus Free.. use and enjoy
What do you like best about the product?
We have implement Linux more than 3 three years ago. Major reason to migrate with Operation System make more cost efficient as we are hurting a huge cost over the years. As we are a courier company , we have multiple solution for our internal customer with customize solution so we required a virus free and fast performing OS to operate. As we are largest courier company which i mentioned earlier , we have multiple server and we have to protect them b 24 /7. We have gone through different OS, but found this tool excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Configuration is too much, not much use friendly as compare with MS OS. As first time setup is little bit complex as compared to others . but after this , overall this is very good product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Virus and the main issue of every organization, this need to address in quick manner. Linux is your Answer. As i have mentioned the we have multiple server and our business are executing by 24/ 7. We must require our system and applications running by 99%. So, it necessary that we have a solid foundation and solid virus free operating which help us to manage this expectation. So, we have implement this operating system and found happy that this is right decision.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hire Expect or consult and expect before implementation as this is not easy to implement without training
Rock solid Linux distro for production environment
What do you like best about the product?
Since using Redhat from 2004, it's always been incredibly stable. In comparision to latest and greatest glitzy distros like ubuntu or debian or mint. It doesnt have the latest windows manager but I've had the least amount of compatibility issues or kernel panics with different hardwares.
What do you dislike about the product?
Doesn't have the latest and the greatest kernels as Redhat takes long time to incorporate latest patches from upstream.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it as main http, ssh, and named server for the company. It's been far more customizable than any of the solutions you find on the market. The uptime is over a year without a hiccup.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try Centos first as Redhat subscription isn't the most affordable especially if you are small business and IT budget is very limited. CenOs is exact replica of Redhat and security packages are also provided. All for free. There are so many choices for Linux distros. But if you are running a server and need extreme stability Redhat shouldn't bee overlooked.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's heavily text based. It is meant to be installed on remote servers be it physical or virtual and then to be accessed via shells. Not a bummer but it does requires technical skills.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux as OS platform for a large physical and virtual infrastructure that runs an ERP containing a set of Java based applications with high transaction volumes. RedHat also allows remote patching with tools like Katello, so the administration is quite easy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's fast, secure and has a very reliable customer support. Make sure to ask for discounts on the license.
