One of the best distro in the Linux market

Reliability, stability and frequent updates to ensure that security exploits are addressed in a timely manner.
What do you dislike about the product?
Those who are new will not like and will take sometime to adapt.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We ran a project few years back moving 95% of the our physical workload from legacy Solaris SPARC architecture to x86 based Linux environment. We saved millions of dollars and reduced the DC footprint. RH support and subscription is straightforward and simple.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Red Hat is one of the open source community and installation is very easy.

Best of its kind
What do you like best about the product?
Every day I log on to the Linux server to accomplish my tasks, which consists of making a report and getting direct access to the Internet. RedHat Linux is widely used among many of my clients, so it helps me to improve my services. We have configured authentication to a Windows Active Directory, which is useful in a mixed environment. The guide and platform are very good. The possibility of piracy of this operating system is bad (if used for bad purposes), but piracy is what other Red Hat and Fedora derivatives are for.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's probably good for network administrators aimed for greater protection, but it is able to appear as a daunting mission for newcomers. I guess the price is usually an unpleasant thing, as Redhat is expected to compete with many unbuttoned distributions. The PC doesn't start anymore. It's not a nuisance, but it's not worth it that organizations implementing RHEL also require specific RHEL certifications before allowing you to touch the hardware, even if you're familiar with different distributions. There's nothing I don't like about Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used it as a server in my organization. With the general report it has been very easy compared to others, easily scalable, I use RHEL for every server facet need, for virtualization, Linux shell scripts and other servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If this is a reliable support for Linux systems, you can choose between RHEL and Suse.
Allows configuring servers with a multitude of services that would be more expensive with other manufacturers.
What do you like best about the product?
Allows virtualization, even of other operating systems. Provides optimization for multi-core processors. Includes development and performance tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
The idea they have of selling their certifications to become a partner and offer a better service. It is still necessary to have highly specialized technicians to provide good support for installing, maintaining, and updating the operating system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great improvement in the utilization of existing hardware resources in the company, by allowing enhanced system virtualization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Improvements and unification of management in the services it incorporates.
RedHat
What do you like best about the product?
Stable and complete Linux operating system. Quite a few updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Payment support, old interface, redhat7
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I install this OS on all the company's servers. It is used for production servers, development, and to virtualize more production servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Among the Linux distributions, it is the one I am most familiar with, it installs, configures quite well and without any problems.
Linux, but with (paid) support!
What do you like best about the product?
RHEL is just the same open-source Linux you can get from everybody else, but it comes with support. That's very important for companies running mission critical systems that need someone to talk to whenever a problem arises, and they will do their best to find a solution as soon as possible.
RHEL also ensures that the software it bundles is tested and supported, so everything is usually working as you would expect. Their long term support usually lasts more than 10 years, so you really don't have to rush upgrading to the next version, and you'll have plenty of time to plan for the updates.

What do you dislike about the product?
Having used Debian, or Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu for the most time, I sometimes find RHEL not so confortable when compared to these other Linux distributions. Things like the package manager (dnf), location of configuration files, or internal system utilities are, in my opinion, more cumbersome than the Debian counterpart.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use RHEL in some of our servers, where we host our customers' applications. We need a stable, supported environment, where fault-tolerance and high-availability are a must.
Between all the big commercial Linux vendors (SLES, Oracle, etc) we chose RedHat because it was, for us, the most popular one and also it was offered by one of our clould providers.
We don't use RHEL in our workstations, though.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Since 2016, there exists a "no-cost" licensed RHEL version. It comes with no support, of course, and you can't use it for commercial purposes, but at least it is a way for you to evaluate the product and decide if it fits your needs before paying for it. If paid support is not that important for you, be aware that some open-source, free of charge, derivative distributions, also exist.
Enterprise OS for Enterprise People

Very confortable oS for beguinners and for pros. Very easy to learn but its strong OS with hundreds of apps to make RedHat one of the best LinuxOS in the world.

Creation of servers
One of the best Linux distributions for businesses
What do you like best about the product?
Redhat is one of the best operational solutions for more robust companies available on the market today. Along with the ability to enhance the operating system's security to the configuration recommended by current programs. The recommended CIS security configuration is what further strengthens its security and privacy posture.
What do you dislike about the product?
Linux has many options and configurations, in which if you have very little experience, it is very difficult. When done correctly, it can be trial and error if you are learning, and the community does not provide advice like Windows does, which means there are many resources available, as well as support from different providers. To improve the aforementioned, it is advisable to subscribe to a support channel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Important CIS templates can be configured and Linux security can be configured if the software allows it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A lot of security and configurations available in this easy-to-use operating system.
