RHEL - Good For Security And Enterprise VM Management
What do you like best about the product?
In terms of security, all of the innovation Red Hat does with linux is very compelling. I like how it is a widely know and supported platform and you are able to use tools like Red Hat Satellite as a go-between for package management.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the cost per VM and that some of the tools like subscription-manager can be complicated. There can be some ramp-up time in learning the tools and feature.

It is solving the problem of datacenter-wide or company wide deployment, easy VM provisioning and package management.

What I appreciate the most about Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is the innovation; it constantly drives the need to go faster.
The TAM support is excellent with weekly meetings where the representative has extensive knowledge, allowing us to resolve all questions.
The software consistently releases new versions with features and ensures stability compared to other systems, such as Ubuntu.
We have reduced downtime issues from patching by 30% over the past year, thanks to our TAM who provided a testing site where we can check patching in our test environment first, allowing us to find any issues before they reach production and thereby minimizing impact.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) helps me solve pain points due to their good support team, which usually has quick access to information, resulting in minimal downtime when problems arise.

Seamless integration with Ansible and less overhead than others
What is our primary use case?
My main use cases are related to Ansible, mostly involving software automation, software installation automation, and data collection.
How has it helped my organization?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) has less overhead compared to other operating systems for my company. The command line interface is much easier to use—there's not as much navigating around screens. The command line interface is much easier to instruct and manage in that sense.
What is most valuable?
There's less overhead than using Microsoft products in general, as is the case with the Linux operating systems. I enjoy the command line interfaces a lot more than the UI. For me, that's a plus, but it's also nice to have the GUI interface on top of that if I need to.
The seamless integration with Ansible is always a plus. I can just get it running. Podman, as well, is valuable. Having it just there and ready to use is such a quality of life increase. I don't have to mess around with dependencies.
What needs improvement?
It's been good and reliable. I haven't dealt with it much, but I would say Podman and containerization could use a little more work, although I don't know exactly how that would proceed.
The UI could use a little bit of work. The graphical interface could be improved. I'm not too big of a fan of it right now, but some of that can be customized. Right out of the box, I'm not the biggest fan of how it looks, but that's personal.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) for about two years now. I've been dabbling in it on and off. I started with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and went all the way up to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 most recently.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's very reliable. It's fairly robust. I haven't had many issues with it.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't had any issues with customer service and technical support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Their customer service has been great.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
It's seamless. When it comes to managing my Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) systems, I most often do manual patching, and it's not any more challenging than any other system I've dealt with, so it's standard in that sense.
What was our ROI?
For me, the biggest return on investment when using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is ease of use and quality of life.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) a nine out of ten.
