RHEL is pure Linux breed!

  • December 23, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is well known and well regarded and has extensive community support. RHEL is a hybrid of CentOS and Fedora. The most liked qualities of RHEL that stand out from other distributions is that it supports comprehensive package managers, extensive manual for almost every command, and is scalable. Its inherent feature of handling large distributed databases on the RHEL server makes it easier to use and create backups for production data tables. In addition, I like the reliability of the OS during high usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
RHEL with the license claims to remain up to date always for business-grade and enterprise-level dependencies. However, this can be compensated because a feature is released in RHEL only when tested among a broad user base.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The distributed data on our RHEL server supports our client through the Google Cloud Platform. The RHEL is live on our cloud machine, and it runs 24*7 for our client to help their customers. Due to RHEL support and GCP's cloud partnership, RHEL automatic updates have become readily available. The machine can host 1L users to enable interactive use on the web application.
