One of the best OS experiences!

  • July 20, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux gives a really great experience if one wants to work at the administrator level, controlling the operating system very closely. Many other operating systems provide great user experience but not many let you control them at the level that this operating system lets, at the administrator level, allows you configure so much.

One of the best thing is the support from the Red hat Community that you get, it compensates for so many other factors, one for example price.

If one wants to learn about the various OS features while being able to control so much of the OS, this is a great recommendation.

Kudos for Red Hat Community!
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that can be considered a dislike could be the price. Apart from the price, there are some softwares that it does not support. Linux is a kernel whereas Red Hat is a distribution of that Kernel, so the size is comparatively large and thus compatibility is an issue in some cases. But there are other factors which nullify all of this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have always had interest in Operating Systems and Linux kernels have always been better experiences for me than Windows OS or Mac OS having used both of them also.
Red Hat distribution provides much better security and salient networking features if I'm experimenting something, like network tunnels for example.

Being a programmer, it helps so much in understanding how the OS implements features and how operations are performed. Working with the help of Red Hat commands is a cherry on top, undoubtedly.

one of the greatest Operating system solutions in the industry

  • July 04, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
redhat comes with great range of security sollutions and application hosting availability and most of ythe industry tools are supported by redhat. rhel 7 is updated with systemd and many other advanced OS level changes to improve the perfomance. in recent times redhat also started working on containerized solutions and environmemnts. it was rhel5 when oi started learning it first and it have grown alot and really came over the limitations it had in the past. overall redhat enterprise linux is one of the best linux distribution in industry.
overall a great OS solution
What do you dislike about the product?
rhel is not a free and open source operation system. you always have to pay for the licence. when you are running rhel on cloud platforms it is a really great sollution but you will end up paying more then the required ammount. we would like rhel to reduce the licence fee in pendamic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
when it comes to hosting tradiotional monolethic applications or running vdi sollution rhel is always the first choice in industry. i specificly love the passwordless authentication and security features provided by rhel. also the beenfits of usinga linux distribution on top of ther competetors in market is really huge in terms of customizing the sollution we are using and the type of devlopments in teh industry are available. we have solved many critical issues with Redhat enterprise linux sollutions.
