Solid Linux Distro for Enterprise Use
What do you like best about the product?
One won't find bleeding edge packages in Redhat Enterprise Linux, instead, only tried and true, rock-solid packages will be encounter. When one's primary goal is to build a server that won't fail, this is a good thing. When problems to occur, Redhat support responds quickly to requests and, at times, sent employees to our worksite to provide assistance.
Redhat Kickstart allows one to script OS and application installations so that consistent builds can be rapidly deployed.

What do you dislike about the product?
When a licenses lapses, one can no longer patch the server that the license is assigned to. This can be problematic in an evironment where procurement can be sporadic and/or delayed. That said, Redhat support is excellent and, when I have encountered this issue, Redhat was happy to issue temporary licenses while we waited for procurement to complete. Licensing, at least in the environment I work in, is done on a server by server basis; it would be nice if it was possible to purchase node level licensing so that unlimited Redhat instances could be stood up in a VMWare cluster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redhat allows us to reliably host products such as IBM Websphere and DB2 with the knowledge that if assistance is required, it will be available. When using a free Linux distro, one is left to search for answers on their own, but with Redhat Linux, there is comfort in knowing that help is available if needed.

I have been an Enterprise Architect and Program Director for five years...
What do you like best about the product?
It is robust and yet fairly easy to design a standard configuration for our servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, our standard configurations might be a bit of 'overkill' for some applications, but as I said before, it is a robust, reliable operating system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At my current location, we have hundreds of Red Hat servers and are moving them into the Cloud to take advantage of installation and maintenance opportunities the cloud affords.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend getting Red Hat. WHile there might be a slight 'learning curve', the benefits far outweigh the negatives.
Love RHEL! Great Oracle Solaris replacement
What do you like best about the product?
Ext3 FS, NFSV4 support, SSH keys, grepping, able to use with relative ease!
What do you dislike about the product?
Support can be shaky from an enterprise perspective but their communities try to help a lot and provide detailed assistance
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal apps, infrastructure configuration, administration, scaling, grid farms, etc
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have 5+ years working on it, try features out, get trained!
Good, solid OS
What do you like best about the product?
Extremely stable, good support, easy to find help online since it's so widely used.
What do you dislike about the product?
Steep learning curve, must know the syntax and be familiar with CLI
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Stable, less micromanagement to keep things running, no weird bugs that seem to pop up all the time in Windows
My favorite enterprise Linux distribution.
What do you like best about the product?
Support from RedHat is excellent, as well as the OS, which is my first choice when it comes to deploying servers. It is also pretty easy to use once you get accustomed to it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some packages are not the latest version and not even the previous one. For example, if you try to install PHP you will get PHP 5.4, which has already been surpassed by PHP 5.5, PHP 5.6 and PHP7. This is done for safety reasons, though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used to host the backend for the Wikimania 2016 web application, with great benefits to the administration and speed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you come from a Debian environment, you may need to get accustomed to the differences.
The professional Linux
What do you like best about the product?
Support! If you need to create a huge solution never skip a good support. I am not saying that other distro you won't have support. Sure you will find solutions to solve problems, however when you have millions of users affected is better to find a solution really really fast. And RedHat will help on that... for a price.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest I prefere to use Debian on my laptop just because I love Debian way and RedHat is a bit different and for me seams to have some files in a wrong place. Of course that people that prefere RedHat maybe will say the same if compare with Debian. Is like discus sports or religion, you should avoid doing that :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Millions of PayTV and telecom boxes connecting on our servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Any Linux is good, however if your business is doing well you need to think if you want to contract outstanding linux professional (in house solution) or pay for outstanding linux support (RedHat).
Virtualization of a testing environment for IPv6 network testing
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that KVM is Open Source software and thus compatible with a lot of applications that can be easily run in a Linux server with a very low cost.
I also find KVM lighter than other solutions in terms of hardware requirements.
I also find KVM lighter than other solutions in terms of hardware requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
KVM is not available for all the processors. Also the process of setting up a network is not as easy as with other solutions.
I did run into some implementation bugs but they were fixed in newer versions.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used KVM to test IPv6 integration in a testing network environment. The aim was to learn the differences from a sysadmin point of view of administrating an IPv6 network to IPv4 networks.
kvm review
What do you like best about the product?
In the Linux world KVM is a very reliable solution that can be used for x86 architecture virtualization with a reasonable overhead. Reliable and extensible, with a tight integration with linux security facilities like SELinux, KVM just does the job.
You will unlikely have to see kvm if you are using a cloud solution because of the seamless integration. If instead you are a Linux desktop user, KVM is the solution to go if you have to start virtual machines with linux or other operating systems with almost zero extra configuration needed.
That said, KVM have a rich options set that can be directly used or via wrappers like LibVirt.

What do you dislike about the product?
The support of virtualization in the recent generation of x86 processor is almost a must have, so the only negative aspect of needing hardware support to have a fully functional kvm can be dropped. It would be nice if the support for other platform like ARM or Risk was as good as the x86 one, but I think with the democratization of chromebooks based on these chips and mobile devices, it will not take long for that to happen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full system virtualization is a necessity for some testing cases or in the event of evaluation of new functionnalities. Booting up a vm in a few seconds and having an almost genuine systems that can be can linked in very different network typologies for almost zero configuration were the main reasons of our choice of kvm.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
What do you like best about the product?
It's not just an operating system, today RHEL is an ecosystem of products and services whose tools simplify the process of automation and management of ours data center, the documentation is very specific and comprehensive, and ¡it works! because behind the best developers that they can afford.
If you want to test some solutions for academic purposes, any Linux operating system could help you, but when it comes to saving time, effort and money, RHEL must be your best decision.

What do you dislike about the product?
1.- The knowledge base(KB) is not public, you must pay for access.
2.- The licenses is in permament changes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anthing you can imagine: RRHH, Web Services, Transactional/NoSQL Data Base, development any services of mission critical, RHEL is a operating system standard on the industry.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy and fast deployment, mission critical solutions, red hat education is a good optcion to deem and service support.
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
