A good, secure and easy to handle OS to work on.

First of all the installation part, then though it is a AMI or from scratch or on VM, just some clicks and we will get the setup ready for use. Second thing is the security is nicely handled in this and also the installation are much easier than GUI based OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we don't find supported libraries easily for some of the language installations or some services we need. So need to find alot to solve the issues and install or configure that in OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of the staging sites I practice on, I use Red Hat Enterprise Linux for the same. The reason is easy insattlation and removal of any packege or libraries than GUI base OS.

It's working as a stable infrastructure solution
Highly reliable, easy to deploy, and excellent support
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
We have servers running all time. We have not had any issues with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We have had issues with Microsoft products over time. Because of the updates, we had downtime, but that is not the case with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
It has been very productive for our organization. We have an online client buying or purchasing products from our website, which is available 24 hours.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is good when it comes to building with confidence and ensuring availability across the infrastructure. I would rate it a ten out of ten in terms of stability and reliability. In the case of our web server, I have had availability issues with Microsoft, whereas, with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, we have not had many such issues. There has been only 1% downtime, whereas, with Microsoft, we have had a lot more downtime.
What is most valuable?
We have support. If we have any issues with the distro, we can call their support team. We have reliable packages from Red Hat.
What needs improvement?
Network management can be easier. It is getting more complex. They can also give more customization for the CLI.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Red Hat Enterprise Linux for six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is very stable. We have three websites running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
It works fine. We have had servers running for ten years. We have been just updating them, and we have not had any issues or downtime.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable. We can upgrade it, and the upgrades do not impact the product.
We have a team of five people who are using this solution.
How are customer service and support?
We have premium support. It is excellent. We have not interacted a lot with their support. We have almost five engineers working in the team, so we did not have to contact them a lot. We did have any major issues with the hardware or software.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I also use CentOS for educational purposes. Support and regular updates are advantages of Red Hat Enterprise Linux over others.
For directory servers, we always use Microsoft because it is easy to manage and easy to control. Implementing and managing domain controllers on Microsoft is easy, and we can apply policies by groups (GPO).
How was the initial setup?
Its deployment is very easy. It does not take long. Its maintenance is also easy. We can expand the storage for the operating system or the web server.
What other advice do I have?
To those looking into implementing Red Hat Enterprise Linux, I would advise making use of Red Hat's community.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux has had some impact in terms of security, but we have other security measures and procedures. We have not used SELinux and other embedded security features of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
I would rate Red Hat Enterprise Linux a nine out of ten.

What do you dislike about the product?

What do you dislike about the product?
Cost: RHEL is a commercial distribution, and its licensing fees may be considered a drawback for some organizations, especially when compared to free or lower-cost Linux distributions.
Restricted Updates: While RHEL's long-term support is a benefit for stability, some users might find that the release cycle for major updates is more conservative, which may lead to delayed access to the latest features and software versions.
Proprietary Components: RHEL includes some proprietary software components that are not open-source. This might be a concern for users who prefer fully open-source solutions.
Learning Curve: For users accustomed to other Linux distributions or operating systems, RHEL may have a slight learning curve due to its specific tools and configurations.
Software Repositories: RHEL's official software repositories might not have the same extensive collection of packages found in some community-driven distributions, potentially requiring users to rely on third-party repositories or compile software from source.
Resource Consumption: As an enterprise-focused OS with robust features, RHEL might require slightly more system resources compared to lightweight Linux distributions, making it less suitable for very resource-constrained environments.
Community vs. Enterprise Versions: Some users might prefer the community-driven CentOS distribution over RHEL due to CentOS's previous similarities to RHEL, though this dynamic changed with CentOS Stream in late 2020.
