Most compatible and widely used enterprise linux
What do you like best about the product?
This is the go to option for any enterprise level software deployment server machine operating system. Widely used, almost all companies I have worked for uses RHEL for their servers. So, learning RHEL is really beneficial for the long term as you will find yourself using this very frequently in many oragnizations. Installng pacakges is really easy with yum in RHEL as it automatically installs all depencey pacakges along with proper compatible versions. The vast number of packages in yum is really all you will ever need for your work. Easy for software development and deployment as it is very easy to implement, integrate and run in RHEL.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Graphics User interface is not very good. So, it's good for servers but not user friendly for day to day other office or personal work. Not good for gaming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the most reliable operating systems. We needed a failproof operating system for our software server as our software is very critical and needs to be up and available 24/7. Never faced any issues with RHEL. It's very easy to write scripts for RHEL to update the deployment so the downtime in case of an upgrade is very minimal.
RHEL a really good UNIX based OS
What do you like best about the product?
RHEL is much lighter than typical windows OS. once you start working on this you will love it more day by day. After regular updates and upgrades the features are top class and support much softwares now. And Linux OS are absolutely freely available on inter5and free to use allowing to customise it your own way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such to dislike RHEL. If asked before would have one two points but nothing now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As it's open source and freely available on internet it's reducing cost of organisation on operating system. It's easy to use and customisable.
Easy to use with good command line capabilities and offers easy access for admins
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
The solution offers users easy access. It's very simple to have and use, from an admin perspective.
What is most valuable?
The offering provides me with all I need to serve the operation in terms of usage and capabilities.
The general user commands are good. They are helpful for starting and stopping applications and restarting and editing files. The maintenance of user-level processes is easy.
We're not using it in a graphical environment, we're only using command line mode. There may be a lot of features, however, I don't use everything since I don't need to.
There are millions of commands you can use, although we use only five or ten.
Likely the solution has helped our organization save on costs. I'm not sure by how much, as I don't have visibility into that aspect.
It's very easy to use across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructure. Specifically, on the cloud side, I have noted it's quite easy. Also, on a virtual machine, you can create a cloud version of your infrastructure in a minute.
What needs improvement?
For my work, the solution is not missing any features. We;re only using the command line and that is enough for us.
Maybe they need to make it easier to apply patches from different resources. That said, at my level of usage, I never have to apply patches.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for almost ten years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's a stable product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
While I'm maintaining 30 servers, there are hundreds of servers in use.
The scalability is good. We are able to increase capacity and functionality based on our demands.
I'm not sure if the company has plans to increase usage in the future.
How are customer service and support?
I don't directly deal with technical support. I might send a ticket to my side, and if they have to, they would be the ones to reach out to Red Hat.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used Oracle Linux before we moved over to Red Hat Linux. We likely switched due to costs and licensing. We also use Windows extensively. Since we used the same architecture, we didn't need to use any third-party applications.
How was the initial setup?
As an admin, I was not involved in the setup process.
If there is any maintenance needed, we get support from the Red Hat team. If anything comes up on the operating side, our team will take care of it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I'm only using this solution as an admin and, therefore, have no visibility on costs.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did not evaluate other options before choosing this solution.
What other advice do I have?
I'm an end-user of the solution. I had admin-level access to the product.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not enable us to achieve security standard certification.
I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

Review on Red Hat.
What do you like best about the product?
Red hat provied a very safe enviroment for your application which is very easy to use and easy to implement as well.

There are some packages which is not compatible with linux enviroment which sometimes makes a blocker in work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Enables organizations to achieve security standards certification
What is our primary use case?
We are an Azure shop that runs middleware applications like Java and JBoss, running on the Azure back end. We have to redeploy everything via ARM templates. Anytime we do an upgrade of the application itself, it's a redeployment. We have custom images that we set up through Azure pipelines. We use Ansible for code changes and server changes.
What is most valuable?
The solution's stability is great, and patching it with Ansible is very easy.
What needs improvement?
The solution's licensing sometimes could be a little bit confusing for someone who's not a full-blown system admin and doesn't have a lot of experience with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It took a while for me to understand the licensing.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Red Hat Enterprise Linux for three years.
What other advice do I have?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux’s built-in security features for simplifying risk reduction and maintaining compliance are pretty good. My only exposure is just packet management, but packet management gives me everything that I need.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux has enabled us to achieve security standards certification. We have to stay on top of things because we work with the Ontario District School Board. There's a big emphasis on keeping everything secure, and the solution has helped us to do that.
Right now, our company is migrating to 8.8, and I think we will stay on 8 for a few years. We're doing everything through the images, and we keep everything updated with Ansible. I don't think we have any plans to use any of the automation tools other than Ansible.
Overall, I rate Red Hat Enterprise Linux ten out of ten.
Gives us the confidence that our packages are legitimate and genuine
What is our primary use case?
My primary use case is for web applications and database applications. I've come across quite a few use cases at different companies.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is the package management. It helps a lot. I also like the support.
Red Hat is a Linux-supportive and well-managed offering. It helps a lot in terms of when we're working in production, it gives us the confidence that our packages are legitimate and genuine and we always have support available. It helps a lot. Red Hat Enterprise Linux gives peace of mind compared to other unsupported Linux distributions.
I also like Red Hat Satellite.
I haven't used Insights yet but it seems interesting.
The ability to patch Red Hat Enterprise Linux through Satellite is a huge contributor to mitigating all of the compliance requirements.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux has absolutely affected our security's uptime. None of the other distributions are nearly close to what you can get with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is something that helps a lot in ensuring that your secure application is up all the time and that you're not getting hit by vulnerabilities. It is an easier way for you to mitigate vulnerabilities when they're around.
The knowledge base is very useful. The only thing is that you need to have an account to get access. In terms of the content, the relevance, and being able to use the knowledge base to address things I've needed to deal with, it's awesome. For example, I was trying to add proxy configuration to the package manager once and if it wasn't for the knowledge base, I wouldn't have been able to do it.
What needs improvement?
I like it the way it is.
It's getting easier for the community to use it free of charge. If you have an account, you get to use it. It would be better if the community could use it on their own for lab projects.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Red Hat Enterprise Linux since 2011. It's been 12 years.
How are customer service and support?
On the few occasions I needed to reach out to support, I was very satisfied.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used Linux distributions but when it comes to the work I'm doing at my company, we always use Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
The biggest differences between Red Hat Enterprise Linux and the other OS' are the support, Satellite, Insights, and the fact that Ansible was acquired by Red Hat so you can use all its automation and toolings. The entire ecosystem works very well together.
What other advice do I have?
Red Hat has not personally enabled me to achieve security standard certifications in the projects I've worked on but I could see how it would help.
I would rate Red Hat Enterprise Linux a ten out of ten. I really like it.
We do a lot of patching and upgrading with Ansible and we keep the host up to date all the time.
