Red hat enterprise linux review

  • October 06, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1. Much more secure than windows operating system.
2. Performance is best as compare to any other operating system even if we allocate minimum required resources like cpu ram etc
3. Used in almost every organisation to host most of the mission critical applications as rhel providers performance, security and free to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. GUI interface is not that user friendly as compare to windows.
2. Creating repository removes the packages dependency and installing packages without subscription is difficult.
3. If audit happens removing vulnerabilities and updating packages without subscription is so much difficult.
4. Making changes in the /etc configuration files and restarting any service as per need when selinux is in enforcing state is difficult.
5. Allowing ports and services when firewall is in on state is difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Red Hat is solving the problem of performance as its performance is vertical much excellent as compare to windows server.
2. We can use and host mission critical applications free of cost since red hat is free where and we can use windows server free trial for only 180 days. For rhel we only need expert guy who can manage the entire rhel infra.
3. Since source code of rhel can be changed and we can do any customisation in rhel it is much much secure than windows so no need to buy any antivirus for rhel.
4. This is very much more stable os as compare to windows server

RHEL review from an MSP perspective

  • October 02, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's a staple in the IT world and just like offering Microsoft licensing to your clients, you have to offer RHEL as well. The support you get for Linux is crucial in the enterprise space.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly there is nothing I dislike about Red Hat and they are much easier to deal with from a partner perspective than Microsoft.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows our client to run their mission critical workloads and from a operational perspective, having the ability to engage RedHat for technical issues is critical.

A Reliable Enterprise-Grade Linux OS

  • October 01, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I truly value the stability and reliability that RHEL offers for enterprise workloads. Its security features, such as SELinux, regular patching, and long-term support, make me feel confident when managing critical applications. RHEL also integrates smoothly with cloud platforms, virtualization, and container technologies like OpenShift. The documentation is thorough, and Red Hat's support team is always quick to respond whenever I encounter any issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
The subscription cost is on the higher side compared to other Linux distributions, which can be a barrier for smaller businesses or personal projects. Also, the learning curve can be steep for beginners.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RHEL provides a secure and reliable foundation for deploying enterprise applications. It helps ensure compliance with industry standards, reduces downtime, and makes system administration easier through automation and management tools like Ansible and Red Hat Satellite. This directly improves productivity and operational efficiency.
