Enterprise Linux for a cost

  • January 04, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux allows our company to use Linux in a more serious role because of the level of support we get with the subscription. I was also very impressed with their documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The licensing model was a bit confusing to begin with and also expensive for a smaller company with fewer support needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux solved our problem of needing a fully supported Linux-based platform on which we could run some of our security scanning software. While it is a cost, the peace of mind and ability to get back on our feet if an issue should arise is still worth it for us.
