Red hat Enterprise Linux has an easy to use Graphical User Interface. It is a very stable OS and is very secure from threats, as compared to its competitors.

Reduces risk, enhances security, and is easy to use

  • September 18, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution for research purposes. 

How has it helped my organization?

The solution provides more detailed control. 

What is most valuable?

The product's built-in security features when it comes to simplifying risk reduction and maintaining compliance can be a tedious topic. It varies from user to user, however, it offers a lot of rapid releases. It helps us to simplify risk reduction and maintain compliance.

The portability of applications and containers built on the product when it comes to keeping your organization agile is good. It's easy to use.

It enhances our security. It helps us comply with company regulations.

When it comes to ensuring availability across physical virtual and cloud infrastructure, it's been okay so far.

It helped us to avoid emergencies due to security issues.

What needs improvement?

I consider the solution to be sufficient. I do not use it too much and therefore do not see any underlying problems with the solution. 

It's sufficient and it doesn't need new features. However, as new technologies enter the market, I hope they will keep up with the changing market.

From a product point of view, it's very efficient for servers. However, the solution is complex in terms of its architecture. It could be simplified. I'd like to see them introduce PDFs or documents to better explain technicalities to new users. 

Memorizing commands can be a bit tedious.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product has been stable so far. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is deployed to the data center, which is managed only by a few teams. 

About 150 people are using the solution. We also have 45 to 50 administrators as they are managing different areas.

The solution is scalable. However, I'm not sure if we plan to scale further in the future.

How are customer service and support?

I have not interacted with support very much. 

How was the initial setup?

I was involved in the deployment. The initial setup was very straightforward.

The deployment is fast and the process is efficient. 

What about the implementation team?

I did a lot of the implementation myself. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did not evaluate other options. 

What other advice do I have?

I'd rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

I'd advise new users to learn from someone who has done everything before. It's much easier than trying to learn by yourself from scratch. They should also have their own environment for testing. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

The best solution for Enterprise systems(cloud)

  • September 16, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The awesome support and the community backed applications make red hat the most popular OS to install hypervisors on. The stability of this OS makes for a very reliable option for any company.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of the features of this OS is hidden behind a license paywall, so if without license there is very low benefits of running this instead of a more open source OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red hat Enterprise is used as a base OS for hypervisors, we usually use VMware esxi on top of this to create multiple virtual machines for our cloud. Being highly stable it provides reliability as well as good support for our system overall.

We get great support, and stability, and it helps us save costs

  • September 14, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use Red Hat Enterprise Linux to run our GS and PSP applications.

How has it helped my organization?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux helps us avoid cloud vendor lock-in.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux helped us save on costs. 

What is most valuable?

The support and the stability are Red Hat Enterprise Linux's most valuable areas.

What needs improvement?

Upgrading between versions needs to be easier. For example, if we have Red Hat Seven running now and a Java exploit is found on Red Hat Seven, we need to be able to upgrade to Red Hat Nine online without any downtime in the environment. This is because it is not possible to reinstall the environment from Red Hat Seven to Red Hat Nine in production without causing downtime to the applications. Red Hat needs to have tools that ensure that we can upgrade from Red Hat Seven to Nine online without any issues.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Red Hat Enterprise Linux for almost seven years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is extremely stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is scalable. We have around 1,790 end users.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is quick to respond.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used Proxmox and switched to Red Hat Enterprise Linux because of the price.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward because it is well-documented. The deployment time depends on the application. A small application can take around 20 minutes.

What about the implementation team?

The implementation was completed in-house.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The cost is based on each organization's budget and infrastructure.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Red Hat Enterprise Linux nine out of ten.

The ease of moving workloads between the cloud and our data center depends on the application architecture. If the application has a monolithic infrastructure, it may be easier to move to the cloud. However, if the application is already running mostly in the data center, it may be more difficult because we would need to recreate all of the infrastructure and topology from scratch. This is because there are so many parts to consider when migrating a microservices-based application to the cloud.

For someone who wants to use an open source Linux operating system, I would recommend Rocky Linux. However, they should be aware that open source solutions do not come with the same level of support as Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Four network team members are required to maintain Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

The Red Hat knowledge base is good and well-documented.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the only Linux solution that is supported for enterprise-level organizations. I recommend this solution for large organizations that want professional support for their Linux systems.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
