Different environment with pros and cons
What do you like best about the product?
Its extremely fast for doing certain functions where windows just lags to much. It can connect and work over different servers in different regions better than windows. It has a lot of options for autkmating stuff usinf various scripting methods
What do you dislike about the product?
Commands!! They can be too confusing sometimes and you feel lost when you don’t get the desired result
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data management across various databases across different regions
Enterprise Operating System
What do you like best about the product?
The system packages are tried and time-tested which means you won't get the bleeding edge versions, but you can count on them working. The RHEL community is large and Red Hat support is generally responsive to cases. The GUI in the desktop version is definitely a little older, but this is not meant to be a gaming platform, it's meant to be an enterprise OS for stability and security. The server is one of the only OS's I'll use in production.
What do you dislike about the product?
The continued reliance on YUM is, in my opinion, more antiquated than it's worth keeping around. DNF is coming in RHEL 8 hopefully. The pricing model for RHEL server is a little funky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm involved in building OpenStack clouds and Ceph clusters on RHEL 7.6. Considering both OpenStack and Ceph versions are supplied by Red Hat, it's an optimal fit.
Easy to use OS
What do you like best about the product?
Very simple and straightforward system to use, highly customisable and easy to set up administrive permissions etc
What do you dislike about the product?
Bit basic look and feel, lacks a certain finishing touch/polish like other similar OSs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connects whole company together on a system that can be made into its own to suit the company needs. Allows to concentrate on the important bits of a system and cut out the unnecessary bits that can inhibit performance

When you lock your screen and return, the application is unresponsive, and requires you to minimize the screen before actually seeing UI updates.. However, this may be an issue with nx client, and not red hat. Additionally, the preferences are

RHEL is the best OS today in the market and it has great support for overall community.

Commandline is the best but the GUI is lacking behind and menu doesnt scale well time and too much non responsive as it consumes lof resources which is shortcoming for this.

Don't be scared of black & White servers
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Redhat Enterprise Linux since 10 years now. They are simply the best to run softwares at enterprise level. We have a financial ERP and huge databases running on Redhat linux platform. I like the ease of maintenance of subscription, yum packages and other core technical features like OS level monitoring and scheduling.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tough to say what i don't like about Redhat Linux. But they can improve a little on default out of box auditing features. It's sometimes hard to investigate user activities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for hosting our multi-terabyte database servers and financial ERP.
Linux
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that it was open source and great for security.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had a hard time figuring out configurations and commands to get my system setup but ultimately sorted it out and figured it out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had to utilize the OS as a privileged user.
One of the best distro in the Linux market
What do you like best about the product?
Reliability, stability and frequent updates to ensure that security exploits are addressed in a timely manner.
What do you dislike about the product?
Those who are new will not like and will take sometime to adapt.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We ran a project few years back moving 95% of the our physical workload from legacy Solaris SPARC architecture to x86 based Linux environment. We saved millions of dollars and reduced the DC footprint. RH support and subscription is straightforward and simple.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Red Hat is one of the open source community and installation is very easy.
Best of its kind
What do you like best about the product?
Every day I log on to the Linux server to accomplish my tasks, which consists of making a report and getting direct access to the Internet. RedHat Linux is widely used among many of my clients, so it helps me to improve my services. We have configured authentication to a Windows Active Directory, which is useful in a mixed environment. The guide and platform are very good. The possibility of piracy of this operating system is bad (if used for bad purposes), but piracy is what other Red Hat and Fedora derivatives are for.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's probably good for network administrators aimed for greater protection, but it is able to appear as a daunting mission for newcomers. I guess the price is usually an unpleasant thing, as Redhat is expected to compete with many unbuttoned distributions. The PC doesn't start anymore. It's not a nuisance, but it's not worth it that organizations implementing RHEL also require specific RHEL certifications before allowing you to touch the hardware, even if you're familiar with different distributions. There's nothing I don't like about Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used it as a server in my organization. With the general report it has been very easy compared to others, easily scalable, I use RHEL for every server facet need, for virtualization, Linux shell scripts and other servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If this is a reliable support for Linux systems, you can choose between RHEL and Suse.
