I appreciate that updates from Red Hat Enterprise Linux are always stable, which makes it easier and gives me confidence to apply changes in any environment for validation. The libraries don't change or break suddenly, and the system is fully compatible with Docker images, which simplifies validations overall from the application. I also find the setup very easy.

License is very expensive. Libraries are not cutting edge technology, language version lagging behind on the releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the market leader for Linux operating systems. It's reliable, flexible, and cost-effective. I find it strong in security and suitable for enterprise-grade applications, making it a great replacement for some legacy Unix systems. The initial setup is rather easy, and one of the benefits is that it's based on open source, which makes it more customizable and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since Red Hat Enterprise Linux is now owned by IBM after its acquisition, there are concerns about its cost effectiveness, the freedom of open source development, and the quality of customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like is how dependable it feels in real world environment and rather then experimentation it is designed for consistency, means once something is configured and tested, it keep working in the same way over the time. there will be no changes after updates.

somethings are much more limited in RHEL, such as subscription model, we need paid Subscription model to access official repositories and updates and also supports, some time for small firm it feels like restricted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First thing is as used in a enterprise it provides 24/7 supports and security with increase reliability and as cloud engineer, i think its one of the best OS we can use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Red Hat Enterprise Linux for server management because of its stability and security, which make it more reliable than other operating systems. It's crucial for enterprise-level servers that demand continuous uptime. I love its stability since it prevents downtime and server crashes, allowing me to avoid worrying about interruptions. Additionally, it offers a high level of security with built-in firewalls that protect against hackers. The support is excellent too, available anytime, which is particularly beneficial if something goes wrong. It's also a great choice for big companies due to its stability and strength in preventing unauthorized access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the management of patching through the generation of automated playbooks via the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console very useful. I like that the same mechanism can be executed manually from the ssh console with a single command by simply selecting the CVE to resolve as a parameter. Furthermore, the system is stable and offers an effective security patching management mechanism. The initial installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux was also very simple and the deployment was very quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Perhaps the price is a bit high compared to products like Ubuntu Pro, but overall I find it reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It feels too complex for beginners, and I’ve also run into compatibility issues with certain applications and hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Much more secure than windows operating system.

2. Performance is best as compare to any other operating system even if we allocate minimum required resources like cpu ram etc

3. Used in almost every organisation to host most of the mission critical applications as rhel providers performance, security and free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. GUI interface is not that user friendly as compare to windows.

2. Creating repository removes the packages dependency and installing packages without subscription is difficult.

3. If audit happens removing vulnerabilities and updating packages without subscription is so much difficult.

4. Making changes in the /etc configuration files and restarting any service as per need when selinux is in enforcing state is difficult.

5. Allowing ports and services when firewall is in on state is difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stability and reliability – RHEL is built for long-term use, with very few crashes and consistent, predictable behavior in production environments.

Professional support – Having access to official updates, security patches, and expert assistance makes it much easier to maintain and operate critical infrastructure.

Strong security – Built-in tools such as SELinux offer advanced protection along with fine-grained access control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Subscription cost – Licensing fees can be expensive, especially for small companies or individual users.

Older packages – The software is often not the most up-to-date version, which can limit access to newer features.

Learning curve – Some of the more advanced tools and configuration options may be hard for beginners to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
