RHEL 4 Life <3

  • May 08, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RHEL is easy to get started with just a bit of basic cli knowlege. And getting into the weeds of things is fun! Online documentation is nails!
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like having to have a subscription. This isn't a problem that can't be overcome, it's just a thing.

I am also concerned about the new state actor supply chain attacks that must almost be impossible to defend. How can RHEL help to sure up packages used by things like SSH to ensure secure communications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lightweight OS that is an industry standard.

What do you like best about the product?
the flexiblity and open source that is natively built in the kernel with a robust support of the operating system and its readiness to automate at an enterprise scale

not really anything major but it would be great if we have a more robust workstation ecosystem like how we have on the Windows side
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RHEL is giving the platform to host the most mission critical applications that matters to our organization and additional giving us the capabilities to automate all our configguration and application deployments with Ansible Automation platform

The support and stability are second to none. Anything that needs to be deployed can and should be deployed with RHEL.

While it is excellent as an enterprise offering, the subscription holds me back from fully changing in personal networks.

Providing a scalable, reliable, and manageable environment for all business needs.

RHEL is a next level downstream experience.

  • May 07, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I believe RHEL is one of the most premier Linux flavors out there due to the stability of their downstream. They also have next generation technology that is vertically supported.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue I have is RHEL is the scaling costs when it comes to multiple workstations. Personally, I think RHEL Desktop should be considerably less or allow for customers to manage their own assets. Similar to the developer license of 10, their should be some autonomy with enterprises managing their own IT departments. Such as a "use at your own risk" with customer's taking on the risk of no support but not losing the stability that Red Hat provides through security upgrades/Package management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The stability of the RHEL flavor is what allows us to thrive at our infrastructure level. We currently use CentOS as we manage our own desktops but use RHEL for our system server needs.
