Red Hat Enterprise Linux
What do you like best about the product?

What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard for me to think of something that I dislike.

Much access to CVEs/solutions/etc. requires login...but, really, if that's the worst, that's not bad.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being a reliable and robust enterprise OS for all of our platform needs
Solid, Stable, Secure Server OS
What do you like best about the product?
RHEL is a complete, stable, and secure operating system that is very good at using system resources and delivering solid uptime for services run on it. The most common server software (for web, database, directory, etc.) is packaged by RedHat, kept up-to-date with back-ported security updates, and easily updatable via RPM.
The Linux operating system makes better use of system resources than Windows-based servers. For this reason, any Linux makes better use of things like memory and CPU. RHEL generally sets up a small subset of required processes (that you can also easily tailor to your needs) on install. Things are a little more "additive", meaning it will start with more bare minimum services, and you add what is needed for your particular case. They try to strike a balance between most commonly-needed things, and security.
Having software installed via RPM and centralized in repositories (which you can self-host by purchasing Satellite) makes it incredibly easy to keep your environment updated and scriptable.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I can really mark as a dislike is the cost/licensing of it. To be fair, a lot of work goes into maintaining the packages and OS in a non-disruptive manner. While I think you are getting what you pay for, licensing shenanigans are always possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RHEL makes good use of our hardware, making it very easy to keep updated and secure. We don't have to hunt down third-party software and pay additional licensing; everything we need for our web platform is included, namely: Apache/NGINX for the webserver, PHP/Python for the app layer, and MySQL/PostgreSQL for the database layer. Everyone's server needs differ, but if you are looking for a solution (not a particular brand), then RedHat will probably work. What I mean by this is that if you want ActiveDirectory, you aren't going to run that on RHEL. If you want "a directory server", you have a choice of various server software packaged on RHEL that will fit that need.
Ready for scaling right out of the box
What do you like best about the product?
It generally has all other packages I need available in it's repositories and if not since it is so widely used you can find support for just about everything you could need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Regarding virtualization built in it just doesn't compare to VMware or Hyper-V. It is functional but not as customizable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is very easy to manage multiple servers from a single location rather than needing physical access to each server we deploy.
Rock solid, no frills
What do you like best about the product?
Rock solid distribution, flexible, no frills. Really Recommended. No issue from small business to large datacenter.
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot find anything. Operating Systems should be reliable, and thisi is it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basis distribution for our workloads.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Pros and Cons
What do you like best about the product?
From a primary web server to a structured Cluster solution, incorporating OracleRAC and VCS, all of our Linux solutions are built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Using Docker and OpenShift, we are beginning to use containers. We are in the process of switching from HP-UX to RHEL for our outdated Access Gateway solution. Red Hat is a solid alliance, in my opinion. Any software or content we provide through the program is free of further fees.

What do you dislike about the product?
Allow internal patch repositories to synchronize. Avaya solution, JVM, and OracleRAC.
Now for the improvement, OracleRAC under RHEL works excellently. However, I'm unsure if Oracle employs this strategy to market its Linux distribution, as some OracleRAC modules occasionally experience issues while running under RHEL.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TCS Ecuador uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux on our client's servers for transactional applications. Since the updates are performed twice a year periodically, and there is a maintenance contract, we have not yet posed any business issues.
No additional fees are associated with the software or material we provide through the program.
This deactivates no functions that require a paid subscription.
