It a great OS and very useful. It gives a great hands on experience when using terminal.

  • March 31, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Its a go-to OS when hosting websites, or for Jenkins/Docker and other dev related work. I use tools like Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, httpd, OpenStack, Elastic Search.
What do you dislike about the product?
The drawbacks are not much but few things that I can mention is that its not very interactive as Windows or MacOS. Also lags at times.RHEL is often slow to offer newer packages, favoring stability over newness.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whenever I have to host a website or setup OpenStack it is the best OS. Also the minimal installation setup saves RAM and resources and can be used for more dev related use cases.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be familiar with Terminal and be open to learn it. Its very handy.

Redhat comes always first when we think about Secure and Reliable OS

  • March 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Redhat is the best operating system for both the client and server sides. its Enterprise version support is awesome and good for our scalable and high-traffic application. OS security is always on high on Redhat, we can get its updates and security patches on regular basis. All the server management tools are available in the RHEL and the awesome part is its 'YUM' and 'RPM' repository which is very fast and easy to use for installing, updating, and uninstallation of library or application within Redhat OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
RHEL is slightly very heavy because of its highly scalable, Reliable, and Secure OS but it is not easy to operate like other Linux distros. Sometimes it takes time in rebooting process and the package version update should come first on RHEL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are migrating our windows based infra to Linux-based infrastructure and for that, we have purchased a licensed version of Redhat (RHEL), have installed it on VMware, and completed our infrastructure for high availability. It's easy to install because of the kind of support we get from the RedHat team. Through package manager, it was easy to install a web server in it and cron job made our routine job hassle-free.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better for Secure, Reliable, and massive scalable OS and better for web servers either for database or application. highly recommend.

A great tool for every need

What do you like best about the product?
RHEL is a tool used for deploying codebases and works as a server to the development team. It's highly customizable and can run any type of codebase/software for you. Apart from that, you can run the processes, schedule cron jobs, and the server will take care of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't find anything particularly annoying but sometimes, if you make a configurational mistake, it's hard to track things because there is no UI. Everything is command-based. If a person is used to UI it will be a steep learning curve
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RHELs are running as part of our infrastructure and the following are the issues we are solving with it
1. Our codebase runs of linux
2. The product pipeline uses multiple open source tool like kafka cassandra. these are also runs on RHELs
3. RHEL is best suitable server for us, it saves cost and gives flexibility to run multiple processes
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are someone looking for in-house infrastructure and already have the configuration decided. You can surely go for RHEL. It supports customization as per your needs and can support your usescases easily

Very New to Redhat Linux

  • February 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The entire Operating System and the Kernal concept are the best in Redhat.
Moreover, the easiness in Command Line Interface and performance is the Feather in the Crown.
What do you dislike about the product?
I was a Windows OS guy. By overlooking the Linux Kernal Platform, initially, I thought it was challenging to work with despite the performance. But later, while getting hands-on and certification in RedHat Linux, I became a fan of RH Linux.
So, I have nothing to dislike in this RH Linux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our Automic Automation Engine and Service Manager has been deployed and maintained in the RedHat Openshift Platform.
Client up-gradation and Patching becomes easy while using this environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Compared to other Operating systems, Redhat Enterprise Linux is best in providing performance. It is easy to use in Command Line Interface Mode.

Best operating system

  • January 21, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Very good operating system with high level security.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of proprietary software,
Difficult to troubleshoot,
Poor support for games.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Open Source. One of the main advantages of Linux is that it is an open source operating system i.e. its source code is easily available for everyone,
Highly Secure,
Free to use (Low Cost),
Large Community Support.

Secure and Excellent Opensource Operating System.

What do you like best about the product?
I like it Because it's a secure and Robust Operating System.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not user Friendly and many peoples don't like to work in command line.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are managing our all servers with the help of red hat Linux. Because this OS is virus-free no one can hack it easily and access and it's very secure

Robust server OS, for many roles

  • January 06, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like RHEL's performance, the support, the great breadth of software available, and the ubiquity (which means there is a lot of community support available when I am trying something new to me). They also publish a lot of good security analysis that's free to the world, which has value to me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Certain services that make up RHEL are complex, and the vendor doesn't provide great support. (For example, SSSD or Satellite.) As often as not, we have to figure out our own solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed an alternative to Solaris on SPARC hardware, and RHEL on VMware offered lower costs, better compatibility with our core COTS products, and a wide selection of qualified candidates to be sysadmins. It also runs really well in AWS, which is fantastic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Right now, RHEL is the best choice for Linux in the enterprise. OEL is too expensive for little added value, and the other distros lack Red Hat's great support.

What do you like best about the product?
1. Ease of access
2. Easy yet so powerful

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such since I have been using it frequently
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using RHEL for our products such Oracle, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and in fact now MSSQL also. Brilliant OS overall

RHEL is pure Linux breed!

  • December 23, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is well known and well regarded and has extensive community support. RHEL is a hybrid of CentOS and Fedora. The most liked qualities of RHEL that stand out from other distributions is that it supports comprehensive package managers, extensive manual for almost every command, and is scalable. Its inherent feature of handling large distributed databases on the RHEL server makes it easier to use and create backups for production data tables. In addition, I like the reliability of the OS during high usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
RHEL with the license claims to remain up to date always for business-grade and enterprise-level dependencies. However, this can be compensated because a feature is released in RHEL only when tested among a broad user base.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The distributed data on our RHEL server supports our client through the Google Cloud Platform. The RHEL is live on our cloud machine, and it runs 24*7 for our client to help their customers. Due to RHEL support and GCP's cloud partnership, RHEL automatic updates have become readily available. The machine can host 1L users to enable interactive use on the web application.
