I like RHEL for the flexibility that it provides with using other open source tools. It also provides great security using SELinux contexts and firewall configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It may not be friendly for first time users. There is a lot of configurations that are handled through command line and knowing the file system structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s too easy to use and you can find a lot of documentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love all about this product, is really interesting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RedHat, for the most part, just works. If it needs to run, and it needs to run reliably, it's the only platform in the game, particularly in offline environments. I use it for both my workstations and servers, and it performs as needed in both use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support for disconnected systems could improve. Much of RedHat documentation presumes internet access, and doesn't always have easy-to-find implementations for environments that do not have, and cannot have, internet access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RHEL is a straight forward distribution, conceived for the enterprise environment. It may not have the latest improvements from the cutting edge of open source development, but it's reliable and predictable, which, at the end of the day, this is what one wants for the enterprise.

I wish they had a broader range of native packages available in their repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wide user base. Good packaging and a wide selection of packages available in the broader ecosystem. Solid documentation. Also stable to build on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The same thing that makes it stable can make it hard to use the latest tooling in the later releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Red Hat has in our experience always been smooth with very predictable outcomes, and has proven itself to be a stable platform to build our applications on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes patching can be problematic, and the kernel feature set can lag behind other distros Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very stable, great support easy to find solutions for a widely used platform. Also, it is the one I know best! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Past version upgrades were not simple. This is much improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Versatile and stable. Like how easy it is to manage 400+ linux vm servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
