Red Hat contributes significant engineering resources to the core projects in the GNU/Linux ecosystem. They're highly committed to Free Software. All of their code is available under licenses that make it useful, including products they acquire.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's really nothing I dislike about Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It's as close to ideal as I can imagine.

All of our core infrastructure runs on top of RHEL. Red Hat's policies and practices give us a very stable foundation for our operations.

RHEL Basic end user review

  • January 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I Work with this device somewhat indirectly as the application I manage is hosted on a Linux server. I like the ability to be able to configure some items via GUI and CLI. It's just a preferred method that myself and other colleagues are more familiar with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I can think of, I work with these devices indirectly and they seem to be more reliable than if I was using a windows device.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to utilize the Linux servers in a universal forwarder configuration across our network.

Gold industry standard! Highly recommend RHEL to all who are looking for support and stability!

  • January 17, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RHEL is the industry standard in linux distribution. The distribution itself has been around for a long time and has a large user base, which means theres a wealth of technical knowledge in every aspect of life cycle management. The distribution is also very stable and constantly maintained and updated at a regular basis. Red Hat offers excellent support, fantastic documentation, and excellent training.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like almost every aspect of RHEL based on my experience with them. The only setback with enterprise distribution is that one has to realize that RHEL is built with stability in mind, so you wont get the most cutting edge updates compared to other Linux distributions. However, this is not a disadvantage as this issue is the industry norm.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our business relies on RHEL servers to host our critical web infrastructure and enterprise applications involved in transactional processing, data warehousing and ETL. We are a high volume business so having a stable 24/7/365 infrastructure is absolutely critical to our company's mission. By using RHEL, we are confident that our servers are constantly updated, supported, and we can always obtain support from RHEL experts in a very timely matter when needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep up the good work! Ive been following Red Hat for a while now and absolutely approves of the direction they are taking! Some more push to RHEL certification would be great!

Trusted and Secure Enterprise Linux Platform

  • January 10, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Stability and most applications designed for Linux support this distribution. Security is also of utmost importance. We can rely on redhat fixing all security related issues reported by our vulnerability assessment.

Redhat supports a wide array of hardware. We can always find drivers that support redhat.
What do you dislike about the product?
Often lags behind competitors in terms of release of new features. Though stability and security is forefront.

Docker and containerization is becoming popular so Redhat should look into getting this into this area.

I think pricing is always going to be a dislike factor as Redhat is expected to compete with many free distributions. That being said, we value the effort they are required to put in to provide stable and continual advancement to the Redhat community.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can always trust Redhat to deliver a secure and stable platform. We can always hire people with Redhat knowledge as well as find administrators with Redhat certifications and provide our employees with training.

Redhat is supported by most enterprise management tools such as puppet and ansible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Redhat is stable and secure platform. You can rely on them to release security fixes timely which is critical for a secure enterprise environment.

Definately hire folks who have the RHCE certification as they are put through a a tough hands on exam unlike many vendors that test inviduals based on paper knowledge. You are guaranteed to get an individual of high caliber and ability.

strength of kernel, maturity of the platform
What do you dislike about the product?
redhat 7 systemd changes a lot of workflows, new syntax takes time to get used to
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
redhat is the platform to host business critical application

Great supportable Linux platform

  • December 05, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RedHat has a first rate support organization and a platform that is stable. The attention to keeping the platform stable and enterprise ready is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
The costing structure to RedHat is a bit of a problem and really should be looked at by the organization moving forward. I feel like lower the entry point will make it a more adopted platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a stable Linux distribution for the enterprise that we could purchase manufacturer support for. This allowed us to reduce the expertise required and thus lowering our cost because we could rely more heavily on the vendor support.
