What do you like best about the product?
The RedHat linux platform is one of the best OSes I've used for software development. The massive amount of libraries available for free and general compatibility of most everything means it makes a project much more efficient.
Another important feature is the continous updates by the RedHat organization to continue to provide a secure system preventing hackers and malicious entities from breaching the firewalls.

What do you dislike about the product?
The poor UI compared to other Linux OS es such as Ubuntu. The REDHAT platform is heavily text based as it is meant to be used on remote servers rather than desktops; however, sometimes it is necessary to use it as a GUI and this functionality can be added. In addition there can be more of a webbased interface built native into the RedHat rather than finding third party platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We deployed to host our core software program to process massive amounts of data in real time and give us a result allowing our business to make a core decision. The high level of reliability and the high security give us a huge benefit as our systems can cause big problems for residents of California if hacked by malicious entities and defame our organization resulting in future funding cuts or excessive oversights.

Best for those looking for highly secure system.
