An OS For the Enterprise
What do you like best about the product?
Two of the things I like most about RHEL is how well applications run on it. Unlike Windows, where install files are placed everywhere, with RHEL it is all contained in its directories. This makes it very easy to upgrade the OS or hte app, without worrying if the updates haver overwritten system files.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest issue I have with RHEL rrevolves around newbies that have grown up in a Windows worldm- ther learning curve can be steep while they learn the CLO.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is allowing us to use open source software that we would not be able to use on a Windows platform, or have to make do with products that only give us some of the fwatures we want.
RedHat is RedHat for a reason
What do you like best about the product?
Redhat support. software. they have offerings you wont find elsewhere in linux
What do you dislike about the product?
price for the real thing. not super jazzed about how centos got treated
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redhat has a solution for just about everything you could run into
Makes it easy to go back and look at all the Open CVEs
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
It gives us a stable and secure platform on top of which we can build our applications.
We use Red Hat Enterprise Linux for containerization projects. It allows us to do better application isolation using containers. If I want to take a program that runs on my system and put it in its own network namespace, I can put it in a container. I can put a physical interface in with it and run them together in that container.
It definitely makes it easy to go back and look at all the Open CVEs and things like that.
It works well for us in terms of the portability of applications and containers for keeping our organization agile. We are able to do the kind of things we need to do. We are able to modify the system to do whatever we need to do to get where we want to go.
What is most valuable?
Things like packaging and the stability you get from things being downstream are valuable. A lot of times, upgrades are more security-based and not feature-based, so things do not break API-wise as we go forward a lot of times.
What needs improvement?
I feel like it is going all over the place now. Sometimes it is hard to figure out what is going on. I would like more guidance.
We definitely spend a lot of time developing on top of things, but I am not sure what on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux side can be better.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Red Hat Enterprise Linux for ten years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is very scalable. I would rate it a ten out of ten for scalability.
How are customer service and support?
It has been great when we needed it. We have not needed a lot of it, but we have had no problems when we needed it.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We did not use a similar solution previously. We have only been using Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
How was the initial setup?
We use it on-premises. We use the ISO installer. We install it via CD ROM on-site.
I was not involved in its initial deployment.
What was our ROI?
It is the guarantee that we are getting the updates that we could backport into the system and we have a stable system to build on.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We have been using Red Hat Enterprise Linux since I have been with the company. They might have evaluated other solutions before I joined.
What other advice do I have?
To a colleague who is looking at open-source, cloud-based operating systems for Linux instead of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, I would ask, "Why?" We plan to stick with Red Hat as far as we see in the future, and we have no plans to change.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux has not helped us to centralize development. It is not something we are looking to use it for.
We use Red Hat Insights very little. We work mostly in an offline environment. It is hard to use Red Hat Insights in an offline environment.
I would rate Red Hat Enterprise Linux a nine out of ten.
Gets the job done.
What do you like best about the product?
With 10+ years of adminstrating RHEL systems, it's what I'm most familiar with. I do very much enjoy being a Linux admin and being able to solve problems and create solutions for my developers. My team really should work to take advantage of the some of the new features of RHEL.
What do you dislike about the product?
The EPEL repository has been a challenge with some broken dependencies where some of the applications from there won't work properly. However, we use custom mirrors for security purposes, so it could be an issue with our repos, and not Red Hat itself. When I looked a year or so ago, I did not see a RHEL9 intro course as an option to familiarize myself with the new features as there was for RHEL8. That would have been very helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consistent, familiar OS across multiple environments.
