The iptables command is helpful for setting firewall policies

  • February 22, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Its use cases include general system management, setting up service with the web server, setting up a virtual, private wall with OpenVPN and FTP servers, etc. I have been working with all the aspects of the system in general.

How has it helped my organization?

The stability and the number of users that can access the servers are some of the valuable features. 

What is most valuable?

The stability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux is most valuable. I have machines running and working for hours, weeks, and months. The servers don't go down. In Windows, too many services hang, but in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the servers continue working for months. I have had to reboot the machine only two times in years. The system keeps on working. So, stability is the best feature. 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is very secure. There hasn't been any successful attack from hackers in years. It's one of the best features. The iptables command is helpful for setting your firewall policies. Only the machines that have the permissions can access the box.

What needs improvement?

We have had issues with the identification of new volumes when you add new disks or storage. You need the remove the machine, which can cause problems when you have high availability. If they can resolve the problem of detection of new volumes, it would be good for system administrators.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Red Hat Enterprise Linux since version 6.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's very stable.

How are customer service and support?

I don't have direct contact with their support, but I know that their support is good because I know people who work directly with their technical support.

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

I've worked with Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, and other companies. In the past, Debian was the better operating system for servers and Red Hat Enterprise Linux was the better system for desktops, but nowadays, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and Oracle Linux are the better system for servers in my opinion, and Ubuntu is better for desktops.

This operating system is used by our clients. We don't have it in our organization. We use Windows. I'm not the one who decides about this. My director is the person who take decisions, but I prefer Linux. I like Red Hat Enterprise Linux in servers because there is support, stability, and more users that can access the service. However, in our organization, we use Microsoft Windows because they are partners. 

How was the initial setup?

Most of our clients are institutions or public organizations. They have their own infrastructure for security reasons. Having a cloud environment has its own advantages and having your own infrastructure has its advantages. I prefer having my own infrastructure. When you have your own infrastructure, you have more control over all the processes and data of your organization, but I understand that having a cloud setup has advantages because you can manage and automate several systems or processes in the organization.

It's easy to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It's not difficult to install. You have the typical steps of the installation of any Linux-based operating system. Anyone can install this operating system. If you want to install servers such as an Apache server or a web application server, you need certain skills, but the installation of the operating system is easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don't know about the pricing because I am not responsible for taking decisions about products used in the enterprise. Our clients use this product, and we use this product with the clients. In my home office, I use a free operating system. There is no support, but I can use it to practice. Our clients need support because it's used in the production environment. I don't know the price of the product, but I understand that with the support that Red Hat offers, compared to other operating systems, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is cheap.

What other advice do I have?

It's easy to install and secure. You can customize it and manage various aspects. It's a good operating system for servers with security. It can run on machines without a powerful CPU or a lot of memory. It's stable.

Overall, I'd rate Red Hat Enterprise Linux a nine out of ten.

Enterprise Linux for a cost

  • January 04, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux allows our company to use Linux in a more serious role because of the level of support we get with the subscription. I was also very impressed with their documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The licensing model was a bit confusing to begin with and also expensive for a smaller company with fewer support needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux solved our problem of needing a fully supported Linux-based platform on which we could run some of our security scanning software. While it is a cost, the peace of mind and ability to get back on our feet if an issue should arise is still worth it for us.
