Provides a reliable base to deploy applications and has a lot of features
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
We have a stable base to deploy applications. We need a minimal amount of effort to troubleshoot problems with the applications that are related to the OS.
We are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the cloud, in the on-prem data center, and at the edge. We are also using Red Hat Enterprise Linux in a hybrid cloud environment. It has had a positive impact. It is straightforward to deploy. There was no bottleneck.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux has enabled us to centralize development. The stable base that each developer can rely on is great. The consistent ecosystem of the repository makes it easy to rely on.
We use Red Hat Enterprise Linux for containerization projects. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is quick to containerize, so when it started becoming mainstream, it was easier for us to sell to upper management to start doing more containerization.
There has been a positive impact in terms of the portability of applications and containers built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux for keeping our organization agile. It is very portable. I do not have any issues with different ecosystems in relation to how Red Hat Enterprise Linux runs containers.
Our cost of ownership is not high. They are not very expensive. We are never surprised.
What is most valuable?
The repository ecosystem is valuable.
What needs improvement?
I would probably focus more on a rolling release schedule. Instead of a long-term operating support of ten years, I would just have one release and keep rolling it.
In terms of security features, overall, it is lacking cohesion. There are a lot of different options, and it is hard to choose the ones that best fit our business needs without a lot of investigative work.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Red Hat Enterprise Linux for 11 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 scalable.
How are customer service and support?
It takes a little bit to get to the true answer. I know there is a lot of triaging. I am sure we can improve on our end. When we open tickets, we can provide more information. There could be a way to get faster answers from Red Hat support, and we might not be providing the most upfront information needed for the ticket. I would rate their support a ten out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were not using any other solution previously.
I know of only one other player, and that is Ubuntu. There is also OpenSUSE, but I have not yet seen that personally in my career.
How was the initial setup?
We have cloud and on-prem deployments. We have the AWS cloud.
On AWS, we had an EC2 instance. I clicked, and it was online. For the initial deployment, we just used the Amazon Web UI, and now, we use Ansible for deployment.
What was our ROI?
We have seen an ROI. It is fairly easy to deploy. We do not have too many issues with setting up a new environment in relation to the operating system. The bottlenecks are more related to the hardware or even setting up the cloud.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
When I came in, Red Hat Enterprise Linux was already being used. It has always been there.
What other advice do I have?
We have not yet fully leveraged Red Hat Insights. We are working on that. It might help with cohesion and security.
I would rate Red Hat Enterprise Linux a ten out of ten. It is reliable for deploying applications. It has a lot of different features. I can find solutions to all my problems, and the industry support is there.
Awesome product
My Experience with RHEL
Redhat Linux platfrom for every installation and configuration

Releases life cycles are very good and not short.
More ease of use for important security features like data encryption at rest.
Major Upgrade procedures need to be more straight forward and easier.
It is the main OS for all critical applications that requires stability and security.
Red Hat Core OS is a very stable and secure environment to run OpenShift nodes.
Excellent for Virtualization and Containerization.
By tuning its performance, you get exactly the predicted performance you need to achieve.
