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.

The Enterprise Linux at a small cost

  • May 08, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
For enterprise environments, a Linux distribution supported by software applications to be used, professional support and a ecosystem of tools helping managing same are important. RHEL offers all of that.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting the software and updates requires registration and a subscription. This can be an issue and slow down adoption in some use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well supported OS and container engine used widely - also by some customers.

Great for server hostgin

  • May 08, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The stability, flexibility and enterpirse support that linux, particularly RHEL provides is second to none compared to alterntives like Ubuntu or Windows.

As a desktop OS, GNOME is not great, and the support for enterprise productivity apps is not amazing either. Also graphical support with kernel modifications, and the upgrade paths can be simplified

Having a stable, low overhead operating system for a full fleded server OS
