Useful online documentation, straightforward implementation, and secure

What is our primary use case?

We are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux for running solutions, such as database solutions, and enterprise, web, and network applications.

How has it helped my organization?

One of the fundamental reasons Red Hat 7 has benefited our organization is that it is fully certified. It has certifications on the DISA STG and other cybersecurity frameworks like Zero Trust. This is what the Department of Defense mandates to be used and it is feasible to receive these specifications and automate the implementation for continuous improvement. By implementing the technical guides, we can receive immediate results and protect environments according to our expectations. There are a group of technical procedures that are shared and that you can implement, if you follow the industry best practices.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are the specification and technical guides, they are most important for cyber security assurance

What needs improvement?

The accessibility to the resources could be more widespread. The registration of the license information is complicated and this product registration process should be easier for customers to access.

In an upcoming release, they could improve by having more focused security.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Red Hat Enterprise Linux for more than 15 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is highly stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is perfectly scalable. You have some resource limits depending on how you're using the technologies. According to those usage patterns, the system is going to be able to give more or less. However, this depends more on the user side than on the system side.

We have approximately 10,000 enterprise users using the systems. They sporadically log into the applications and make use of the database systems and extract information. 

How are customer service and support?

There is a division between the paid support and the support that is included by the website of Red Hat. I have only used the website support and there is a lot of documentation available.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used other Linux products, such as AWS Linux, Debian Linux, and Ubuntu.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward for our use case. As long as you understand what you're doing, the technologies that are involved, the proper way to style, secure, and prepare them, everything will be fine.

After you have the guide, the printed procedure, the deployment is straightforward. The operating system can be deployed in less than an hour.

Okay, and how long did the deployment take?

What about the implementation team?

The solution requires maintenance, and it is a shared responsibility. They take different maintenance actions or tasks, and sometimes it's the operating system, database system, or application front band that needs maintenance.

What other advice do I have?

The number one advice would be to keep the division between testing and production.

There's one system that you need to set up for testing purposes only, and this testing system can be obtained free of license. There's an evaluation license that can be easily applied. When developing the application on the Red Hat 7 system, stay using the evaluation version until the requirements are fully met, only then should you migrate them to a paid supported version.

The biggest lesson that you learn by using this solution is, you easily reach a point where a single person or a single team can no longer respond to the complexities and challenges of the security or the different versions of the applications. At that moment you need to rely on a serious fused team, that team that is backing the effort.

I rate Red Hat Enterprise Linux an eight out of ten.

Linux mean Red Hat

  • January 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Red hat provide good Linux operating system. Most companies use the RHEL. It provides good security and stability in their product. RHEL provide the linux kernel technology.
What do you dislike about the product?
everything is good in RHEL. we get can issue like after reboot or while rebooting the RHEL, we can get disk issue or partition issue. it will not enter in the system if we got any issue and not able to find it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using RHEL in my organization. its provide better feature in security also. mostly I used Centos version. for business purposes, RHEL is too good.
It provides better performance and support.

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.
