The Gold Standard For Enterprise Linux Implementations

  • March 08, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This is the gold standard for Linux in the Enterprise. It comes with support (albeit paid) from RedHat and most Linux applications are packaged for RHEL.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's rather expensive. Each server license has a list price of $349. There are free solutions available that are almost identical to RHEL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it in specific situations where support is required by customers or vendors, and for applications that only support RHEL rather than a free alternative.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider free solutions if you're on a budget or have a large number of servers. But, remember that by buying RHEL, you're supporting continued development of the RedHat-derived distros.

Redhat running Linux on z

  • February 14, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Redhat boots up faster than any other OS that is currently running on IBM z mainframe. Having quick bootup speeds helps a business with the ability to get backup and running within seconds.
What do you dislike about the product?
Installing Redhat on z is very challenging and the documentation isn't showing the correct steps. There are a lot more steps needed that aren't described in the manual, plus it would also be nice to have a similar GUI as SUSE does (YaST)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Containerization and speed of deployment

Enterprise Operating System

  • December 17, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

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

  • December 15, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

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
