The best Linux for the company.

  • November 07, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
I like this operating system because it has the stability and security of Linux, I am sure of viruses and computer attacks because it is always up to date, updates come immediately to my PC.
Linux is difficult to use, but RHEL makes everything easier, a system with professional support, work packages and web server always active.
I give access to many users just by buying a license for this system, it is perfect for multiple users working at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I buy this system the configuration in server packages is difficult to configure, there is a lack of documentation for the configuration of this system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With this system many users simultaneously connect to a single system with a single license, save money and expedite the work of configuring RHEL contracted packages.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try this system in your company, it is perfect for the stability and configuration of all the programs necessary for networking, email and much more on PC servers.

Very good operating system for both servers and workstations but more geared to servers

  • November 05, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
Redhat maintains an excellent software repository that is heavily scrutinized to ensure compatibility for users and systems administrators.As an operating system, their disk and volume management is on par with AIX and Solaris. Software installation is easily manageable. One area I definitely like is setting up Identity Management. RedHat have made implementing and managing extremely easy. One area that RedHat shines is dedicating their focus on reliability and security updates. This is extremely important for compliance. Their workstation offerings add alot of much needed windows display managers including those for systems that have limited resources. This is a plus as we use alot of thin client systems and RedHat workstation is definately suited for that task.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a more enterprise class of virtualization (i.e KVM is still not on par with VMware and Solaris). More over their licensing schema is a bit unwieldy when it comes to running from a centralized on site server and setup is extremely cumbersome and unreliable. Also wish they would include more options for out of the box database systems as far as including more than just one flavor of MySQL, in this case MariaDB.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use a combination of Redhat servers and workstations for engineering and science related applications
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Redhat Enterprise linux is not for beginners. If you are coming from a Windows Systems side you will need more training on unix/linux operating systems to become an adequate systems administrator

What do you like best about the product?
easy to understand, if you love CLI you would like anyways GUI is also there. the ease of learning commands and using them like sed and awk commands for filtering.
What do you dislike about the product?
if an entry of filesystem in fstab is there and physically that disk is removed there raises an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
server related issues (support-oriented)

Hats off to RedHat!

  • October 27, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
The package quality, support, maintenance and updates, all give it the premium appeal that a linux distro deserves!
What do you dislike about the product?
It's too expensive for its features. This is definitely not meant for amateur use. You need well experienced in-house team alongside vendor support for it to work out well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The kind of quality and support that it has made me realize the importance it could have in managing my storage. So all my NFS drives are mounted and controlled over RHEL and it's been 2 years since I've been using it and I feel the decision was right indeed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's one of the most robust linux distribution you'll come across. May go a little over budget, but reliability is guaranteed. Go for it! Good luck!

Best Linux Distro - Redhat

  • October 24, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The one thing I like the most about Redhat is its premium packages and subscription.
What do you dislike about the product?
Subscription is quite costly compared to similar distros like SUSE.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company's active directory services are run over RedHat Enterprise Linux. It offers good support, updates and maintenance which is a must!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a reliable linux distribution with plenty of support and features and can afford all of it, then RHEL is the product for you!
