RedHat is the industry standard

  • May 19, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RedHat, for the most part, just works. If it needs to run, and it needs to run reliably, it's the only platform in the game, particularly in offline environments. I use it for both my workstations and servers, and it performs as needed in both use cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support for disconnected systems could improve. Much of RedHat documentation presumes internet access, and doesn't always have easy-to-find implementations for environments that do not have, and cannot have, internet access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RedHat provides a platform that can be reliably secured to DoD standards and, importantly, still work without too much fuss.

Easy to deploy and maintain

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy how easy the distribution is to install on various platforms, physical and virtual, and I appreciate the support from Red Hat, via knowledge base posts and direct ticket support. Red Hat is a great company with a great support team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the licensing options can be confusing depending on your customer. E.g, private, defense, medical.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red Hat solves our problem of picking a unified operating system across multiple systems and customers. By using RHEL, we're able to hire support engineers with various backgrounds and use them to support multiple customers because RHEL offers a predictable and standard environment to work in.
