My main use cases are related to Ansible, mostly involving software automation, software installation automation, and data collection.

stable interfaces to open Source projects
Seamless integration with Ansible and less overhead than others
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) has less overhead compared to other operating systems for my company. The command line interface is much easier to use—there's not as much navigating around screens. The command line interface is much easier to instruct and manage in that sense.
What is most valuable?
There's less overhead than using Microsoft products in general, as is the case with the Linux operating systems. I enjoy the command line interfaces a lot more than the UI. For me, that's a plus, but it's also nice to have the GUI interface on top of that if I need to.
The seamless integration with Ansible is always a plus. I can just get it running. Podman, as well, is valuable. Having it just there and ready to use is such a quality of life increase. I don't have to mess around with dependencies.
What needs improvement?
It's been good and reliable. I haven't dealt with it much, but I would say Podman and containerization could use a little more work, although I don't know exactly how that would proceed.
The UI could use a little bit of work. The graphical interface could be improved. I'm not too big of a fan of it right now, but some of that can be customized. Right out of the box, I'm not the biggest fan of how it looks, but that's personal.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) for about two years now. I've been dabbling in it on and off. I started with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and went all the way up to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 most recently.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's very reliable. It's fairly robust. I haven't had many issues with it.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't had any issues with customer service and technical support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Their customer service has been great.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
It's seamless. When it comes to managing my Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) systems, I most often do manual patching, and it's not any more challenging than any other system I've dealt with, so it's standard in that sense.
What was our ROI?
For me, the biggest return on investment when using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is ease of use and quality of life.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Using RHEL as one of our main OS
What do you like best about the product?
It has a fairly easy migration from one version to the next.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be hard to get off of once the versioning gets old enough, and is no longer supported.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Is it giving us a solution to hosting many of the servers that we are using.
RHEL - Linux for the Enterprise
What do you like best about the product?

Customer Service and support makes RHEL easy to implement and deploy throughout the environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
RHEL's value comes from the support maintenance contract, which does add a cost to an open-source product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Standardizing Linux deployments and provide commercial support, including FIPS certification
Good customer support and OS works well with our product
What do you like best about the product?

What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more support on how to transition products on RHEL to a Wayland compositor with using Xwayland for x11 native window managers. More conversation and support around this transition specifically would be very helpful to our needs with our upcoming RHEL10 transition
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
