Red Hat have continued to provide leading services around RHEL.

Providing a consistent and reliable environment for Production systems
very good Linux distributions with active support and nice maintenability
What do you like best about the product?
Support, ease of use and consistency over time
What do you dislike about the product?
prices a bit expensive and sometimes complexity of subscription system
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to provide consistent and stable servers for our application teams.
I like the consistency of the product. Having a software bill of materials helps with delivery.
What do you like best about the product?
The training available for Red Hat is readily available. The support from Red Hat engineers is top notch and I love having a single point of contact to reach out to when my team has problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
When it breaks it breaks bad and often it's something that could have been avoided with some monitoring actions taken preventitively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides a stable platform for my application teams to deliver on.
It's better than Ubuntu
What do you like best about the product?
Consistency across minor releases, excellent vendor support, easy of installation and patch management. The knowledge base is very, very good and makes it easy to self-solve issues. The consistency across releases makes it easy for newer administrators and engineers to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of vendors who ship their products for free Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, forcing us as an enterprise to offer Ubuntu support to our internal customers. If there were a solution for this situation, specifically in the broadcast media space that I work in, it would make my life a lot easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It powers the majority of our Enterprise, financial and broadcast applications. It is well supported by most of these vendors (see my earlier comment about some broadcast vendors shipping with Ubuntu because they don't want to pay for an included RHEL subscription).
The Only Linux Platform for the Enterprise
What do you like best about the product?
Support! Utilizing RHEL with Red Hat support means that you never more than two or three degrees of separation from the folks that create the thing. Having this availability to the maintainers and writers of the code gives access to bug fixes and features faster than any other Linux distribution out there.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can not think of anything that is worth writing here. DNF started off pretty garbage, but that's getting better. Maybe the identifying which repos you need to get things working? But even that has advanced light-years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux solves all of our Linux needs. If it's production and it needs support RHEL is where it's at.
Great, stable platform
What do you like best about the product?
First and foremost, stability. Support is top notch as well. Love the fact that all major releases have a 10 year lifecycle
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish they had a broader range of native packages available in their repository.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A supported platform for container images utilizing podman. Also, a server OS that can run applications and databases.
20 years of Linux deployment
What do you like best about the product?
Stability and import of key upstream features. The ability to rapidly deploy and manage large number of servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the workstation version repo's moved to newer repos for dev tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to bring in a wide range of dev tools and production ready security tools.
Robust and Innovative
What do you like best about the product?
Innovation, centralized tools, secure in regards of viruses. Great support
What do you dislike about the product?
Pretty expensive related with other free brands
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SAP, Apache, file server, etc.
Life long RHEL user
What do you like best about the product?
Very stable, great support easy to find solutions for a widely used platform. Also, it is the one I know best!
What do you dislike about the product?
Past version upgrades were not simple. This is much improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a solid platform for my company to run Redhat IPA as well as total platform management using Ansible.
