stable linux release with good support and features
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use and setup, extensive features list, stable, supported well by redhat, Redhat makes it pretty easy to adopt linux with mainstream installation on all types of hardware.
What do you dislike about the product?
subscription mgmt is hard to use sometimes, wished it was on a newer kernel, sometimes I wish there was a smaller version dedicated to running docker containers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
used by our customers, easy to develop on, a partnet tha tis easy to work with,good support, redhat linux is pretty common among our customers so it is easy to support multiple customers using RHEL as the base of our product
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you need a commercially supported stable linux distro then Redhat linux is an easy and safe choice given it's wide adoption and relatively low cost, if you don't need commercial support then look at the open source community version called centos which is almost identical

RedHat flavour of Linux
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to install.
Enterprise support.
Very solid distribution of Linux with the backing of Red Hat.
Enterprise support.
Very solid distribution of Linux with the backing of Red Hat.
What do you dislike about the product?
Built in package repositories leave a lot to be desired, and you often have to add third-party repositories to install basic software, for example, LibreOffice.
Other than the enterprise support there's not much difference between the completely free and open-source CentOS.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a solid distribution to run our SaaS applications (Ruby On Rails/NGINX/Passenger) on. Very stable and easy to maintain.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Only use this if you need the enterprise support. There's other distributions of Linux that are free and have a better community behind them.
