User-friendly with good scripting and security capablities
What is our primary use case?
We are using the full setup in Linux and use the enterprise edition. We're migrating a lot of things over.
How has it helped my organization?
We like that it's open-source and fully secure. We've fully migrated to Linux, and we were able to move everything over from the Red Hat database.
Compared to earlier tools, we get more options, and it's very user-friendly. The patching, for example, is easier. It can also support many things. It took us about six months to realize the solution's full benefits.
What is most valuable?
The solution is very user-friendly.
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux scripting is very good. It is easy for us to access those parts in the Linux portion.
The security is very good. It helps us to maintain overall security.
I have a Linux certification, however, they do have good documentation in order for users to get information about the product.
The management experience for patching is very good. We can do the patching through the portal. We can use it based on our own timing. If there isn't something in production, we can do the patching. The patching experience is very nice compared to what we had to deal with previously. For example, with Windows, the patching would happen whenever. We can control it via the portal, and it is very user-friendly now.
We only use the command line. We do not use the GUI. The graphical user interface is useful. However, we prefer to use the command line as we can do many more things.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux has positively affected our uptime. It's very fast. If you have to do patching, and need to reboot, it doesn't take too much time to do that. It might only take one to two minutes.
What needs improvement?
For the most part, everything looks fine. Everything is going smoothly.
Right now, we need to get memory and CPU via the console. If it was available in the console so that we could adjust these two things, that would be ideal.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for the last four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of the solution is fine. I'd rate it nine out of ten for stability. It's user-friendly and the downtime is low. It won't impact business.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is not deployed across multiple locations. We have around 300 end users.
It is scalable. We can immigrate to servers and it won't impact the business.
How are customer service and support?
We know there are some issues, and if we come across some vulnerabilities, we'll work with support. If we get an error, we'll go to them and discuss the issues. We take advice from them on how to work through problems.
Sometimes, we'll get some errors and we'll send them an email. Sometimes it takes too much time for them to respond. The support time could be better.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We did previously use a different solution.
How was the initial setup?
I was not involved in the installation. I have not worked on the OS level and I'm not involved in the migration to the cloud.
We have eight to nine people on our team that may handle some maintenance tasks. If there are any issues, we can patch and fix them. We go through the portal to handle patching and maintenance. We'll check the system pre and post patching.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I'm not aware of the exact pricing of the solution.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did not evaluate other options. We've fully moved to Linux and used Red Hat Enterprise Linux to do this.
What other advice do I have?
I'm an end-user.
We will be moving to the cloud only. I'm not directly involved in that. The main thing will be that soon everything will be in the cloud only. Currently, I work with the on-premises version only. It's on a VM right now.
This is a good solution if you are handling migrations or your internal environment. It's user-friendly and you can connect with technical support easily. It's also very secure.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

RHEL for Enterprise SAP systems
What do you like best about the product?
I personally think that RHEL is best for SAP implementations as we use it for that. We perform many activities in the system these are the things I noticed - patches, customer support and enterprise level security it provides. RHEL has a great lifecycle management it has a good long term support and the OS is very stable.
YUM ( We use it to install patches) makes it easier for removing any outdated packages and install / update the newer versions which helps in removing unknown threats. It is bit difficult to use CLI environments as there is no GUI.
Our systems are on AWS Cloud, so it gives ease of installation and implementation as you know that AWS will auto install the OS we chose into the VM.
What do you dislike about the product?
2 major factors I noticed are that RHEL is mainly designed for server environments and it may not be stable in desktop environments.
The other one is RHEL won't support older software like other alternatives do.
So, I suggest to look for alternatives like SUSE if you are looking it for Desktop Environments but if you want to deploy to Cloud I would recommend it and if you are looking for HA systems and need a load balancer then please go with SUSE instead of RHEL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use RHEL in our everyday tasks, RHEL is our primary OS for AWS servers. It is very stable compared to our servers in Azure which are running SUSE. Some benefits we have are:
1. Stable OS
2. Enterprise Scalability
3. Ansible for Automation
4. Ease of integration with other RedHat Softwares.
We are using SUSE in Azure for load balancing as it is more suitable for the environment.
