Good work Red Hat!

  • May 20, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RHEL is a straight forward distribution, conceived for the enterprise environment. It may not have the latest improvements from the cutting edge of open source development, but it's reliable and predictable, which, at the end of the day, this is what one wants for the enterprise.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a little dry at times, and the EPEL could have more packages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A solid and reliable platform to run mission critical business applications like SAP. By being predictable and stable, it provides the administration team with more peace of mind and time to work on future projects.

Former Ubuntu-devotee turned RHEL-lover

  • May 20, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the resources Redhat makes available to RHEL users and utilizing the satellite feature to quickly gauge what is happening. Also, I appreciate that RHEL forces the GRUB menu so I can easily access it without special key-press combinations. The troubleshoot feature that comes with the bootable ISO is also a plus!
What do you dislike about the product?
I do find the website navigation daunting sometimes. Sometimes I feel like I am going in circles trying to get around resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many of the rocket scientists and engineers that I support much prefer the Linux environment and tools over Windows and the proprietary limitations. I find RHEL to make system administration much easier due to the capabilities in the terminal. Windows Admins on my team work in GUI environments and are less efficient in identifying and resolving issues in an air-gapped space.
