RHEL - a sys ad perspective

  • May 08, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that it integrates so well with all other RH products and that it has baked in security that is easy to configure. Ansible integrations save so much of my time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't really think of any downsides besides being locked inside the RHEL ecosystem. Maybe subscription manager is a pain from time to time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We maintain infrastructure and RHEL makes it really easy to handle said infrastructure. It integrates well with our other container orchestration tools and even microsoft tools.

A Great Enterprise-Grade Operating System

  • May 08, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the open-source ecosystem of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). RHEL, along with other RPM-based distributions (Fedora, CentOS, etc.), have a great package management system (dnf/yum), and the dependency resolution is really nice, regardless of if fetching content from the public Red Hat servers, or via a local Red Hat Satellite server. I also enjoy Red Hat Insights and being able to view statistics about my system (compliance, patches, asset information) on the go, without needing to log into the system or an underlying hypervisor.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm unsure if this is specific to RHEL, or if other Enterprise Linux distributions face this same issue, but some of the features included in RHEL are not always FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) compliant. The one utility that is not FIPS compliant is Leapp, which is a bit frustrating, especially during the RHEL 7/CentOS 7 End-of-Life.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is providing myself and my organization with the ability to run up-to-date versions of software, while also providing a stable infrastructure for Production-level workloads. That benefits me/us by experiencing less downtime, which means our customers and end-users can spend more time developing their applications and completing their work.
