RHEL IS THE BEST

  • May 13, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Redhat AKA RHEL is a best Linux OS environment that anybody can use on there enterprise environments. Mostly because of the support and the security they provides, its freqently provides all the patches to all the indentified bugs and can be used to deploy test and modify any kind of linux based packages easily. You can deploy this OS using very low hardware resources and if you are CLI lover this is the product that you need to choose.
What do you dislike about the product?
RHEL is mostly reliable for the CLI users just like other linux base OS. For the GUI users, its not that simple to use as Windows its not that user friendly interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As explained, this OS does not required high hardware resources as other GUI based OS. If you prefer GUI-less OS you can either install that as well, it`s simple and very fast to handle. the main thing, you can customized what you need and what you do not need, you can remove all the unwanted packages and keep whats only required.

RHEL Lifecycle Management

  • May 09, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We use RHEL for everything. The Red Hat team has been a partner with us throughout our entire journey from datacenters to cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of integration between the tools to support and run RHEL. We'd love for Satellitte, Insights, In Place Upgrades, and Image Builder to be a more opionated and integrated suite of tools. Rather than a disparate group of tools that needs a consulting team to stitch together. It impacts our ability to manage and deploy RHEL at scale.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing a common platform all our users.

What do you like best about the product?
Red hat linux in my opinion is one of the best operating systems out there in the terms of scalability and maintenance.
What do you dislike about the product?
with the addition of Network Manager in the newer versions it took away the ability to easily edit the config files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are leaning toward ansible to assist in our day to day activities.

RHEL is critical for our operations in higher Ed. It is the premier enterprise Linux solution.

  • May 08, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The vast service catologue from Red Hat puts RHEL at the top of the list for enterprise linux platforms. The seemless integration with products like satellite, AAP, and more make the ecosystem extremely robust for anyone running linux in the enterprise. The premier Red Hat support makes RHEL invaluable for IT teams of all sizes and enables quick implementation of new services and maintenance of existing services.
What do you dislike about the product?
The majority of my issues with RHEL are really due to the linux ecosystem as a whole rather than RHEL or its features. If I had to choose something I dislike, it would probably be the existing image builder/deployment models. I would love to see a fully customizable solution for building RHEL images for template deplyoment that don't have random restrictions placed on them like file system lock down and drive requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RHEL provides a light weight and easy to manage OS for all of our non-windows services. The biggest benefit is the enterprise support provided for the OS so we're not left completely on our own for supporting community distributions like CentOS, Alma, etc.

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.
