When you lock your screen and return, the application is unresponsive, and requires you to minimize the screen before actually seeing UI updates.. However, this may be an issue with nx client, and not red hat. Additionally, the preferences are

Best of its kind

  • October 20, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

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.

Stable and complete Linux operating system. Quite a few updates.

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.

Better than the Rest - Linux Edition

  • August 05, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RHEL's interface makes it easy to navigate. It almost feels as if the developers of this Linux platform kept user experience in mind. Many of its built-in programs are easily navigable. Perhaps this comes more naturally to a developer whose first Linux system is not RHEL, but it does maintain all the functionalities of a Linux environment for a developer looking to code in practically any language (C++, Python, Java, etc). It is a stable Linux platform with security and speed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price is a disadvantage of RHEL. It is not like other Linux distributions that are similar to RHEL and free. If you do not need RHEL and are not working on projects that require its robust attributes, then consider other Linux systems. In addition, getting certain packages on a RHEL system can be frustrating, especially if you lack the initial experience with Linux environments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WIth RHEL, we are creating tools that will help management compile data on how well their developers are doing. Developers work in a Linux environment using RHEL. The system provides the security that the developers require to do their end of the work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not start with RHEL if you are inexperienced with Linux. If your company does not need RHEL, do not invest in it. However, if you are looking for security and sturdiness, then RHEL is one of the best Linux distributions to exist.

Redhat OS as a base for your enterprise applicstions

  • July 26, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part of any tools from redhat is the extensive online documentation available of the products.
Redhat OS in particular is easy to use and manage. All our products are running seamlessly on top of redhat OS.

Since we are premier customer of redhat we get dedicated TAM providing 24*7 support.
What do you dislike about the product?
The kernel management for this OS can be tricky as there are many options to play with.
As with any linux OS, any changes should be properly checked before applying as you may loose data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redhat is the base OS for all our products. All our testing, UAT and PROD is using RHEL based servers both in virtual and physical env.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Before using it in cloud based templates, make sure to get kernel recommendations from redhat first.
Any changes later will be tedious.
Also do use it for clustered based applications along with cluster specific solutions from redhat like gluster FS and HAproxy tools.

Red Hat is still the "big boy" in Linux for enterprise.

  • April 26, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
A very stable and wide supported Linux distro, not only by Red Hat itself, I mean, there is a big list of companies that main business is support RHEL and is the main Linux for some enterprise software solutions like SAP.
What do you dislike about the product?
For the initial setup inside a company (Red Hat satellite, accounts, network services, etc) can be complicated if your staff don't have enough experience, or expensive if your consultants don't have the right technical skill.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Is the main OS for all the infrastructure (cloud and virtualized) for his stability, the benefits are mostly related to fiability and security (after hardening).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check the background and experience of your consultants, and for internal staff try to select people with enough experience and pay them well.

red hat user since 2007

  • April 07, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how the commands haven't changed much in decades, while the user interface has improved.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of market share. More people need to know about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've created my own scripts with ease to speed up my work. Remote accesses such as SSH make it easy to troubleshoot servers remotely. using the up key to toggle through my command history is a fast way to handle repetitive tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's not hard. Get yourself a book from the library like I did. then you'll see it's as easy as anything else.

A secure and well-supported operating system

  • March 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RedHat is for me the best enterprise solution Linux Based actually on the market. It's fast, secure and with an excellent live support. It was one of the first Linux distribution to use a new way to compress packages
called rpm.
It is stable, have a nice GUI and is very fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
This Linux distribution is very expensive and I would not recommend it to small businesses company with limited budgets. It's not very user-friendly for first time Linux user. Compatibility with others Operanting System could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use RHEL for every server-side necessity, for virtualization, linux shell scripting, and so on. We also use scripting for schedule our daily backup and some auto-startup activity. The Database activity is also well organized with RHEL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As i said before, this Linux distribution is expensive and I would recommend it only if you need RHEL support, but for small company with limited budgets i wouldn't recommend it.
