Red Hat Enterprise Linux: A Rock-Solid Foundation
What do you like best about the product?
RHEL is a the best solution for real-life enterprise application. Its stability and security are unmatched, making it my go-to for mission-critical systems. I's really easy to use once you’re familiar with RPM-based ecosystems—tools like YUM/DNF simplify package management. The subscription model ensures timely updates and access to Red Hat’s stellar support, which has saved me hours of troubleshooting. Integration with enterprise tools (think OpenShift, Ansible, or cloud platforms) feels seamless, and SELinux’s granular security controls are a lifesaver. For daily use, it’s reliable enough that I rarely second-guess its performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is steep for people new to RPM distributions. While powerful, SELinux and firewall-cmd can feel overwhelming without Red Hat’s training. The UI feels dated compared to Ubuntu or Fedora, which might deter people used to polished GUIs. Licensing costs add up quickly for small businesses, and the subscription activation process is clunky—I’ve lost time untangling portal issues. Out-of-the-box software is often older for stability’s sake, which means manually adding repos for newer apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly the integration with Ansible and containerized platforms.

Rock-Solid Stability and Enterprise-Grade Performance
What do you like best about the product?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is an outstanding operating system for enterprise environments, delivering unmatched stability, security, and long-term support. Its robust performance makes it ideal for mission-critical workloads, and the seamless integration with Red Hat’s ecosystem ensures reliability at every level. The extensive documentation, excellent customer support, and frequent security updates provide peace of mind for IT teams. Additionally, RHEL’s compatibility with a vast range of enterprise applications and cloud platforms makes it a top choice for businesses looking for a scalable and efficient Linux solution. Highly recommended for organizations that prioritize security, performance, and support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is a fantastic choice for businesses that need a stable, secure, and well-supported operating system. It offers top-notch reliability, excellent security features, and seamless integration with enterprise tools. However, one downside is the cost—RHEL’s subscription model can be expensive, especially for small businesses or individuals who need enterprise features but have budget constraints. Additionally, some users may find the strict licensing and lack of access to the latest cutting-edge software a bit limiting compared to community-driven distributions like Fedora or Ubuntu. Despite this, RHEL remains a solid investment for companies that prioritize long-term stability and professional support.

Review for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
What do you like best about the product?
RHEL is very stable and for RHEL its security is priority which includes its selenium enhanced linux feature which gives several access controls.
For me i found its very easy to use and implementation is quite simple if you follow the steps correctly.It also provides comprehensive support services, including 24/7 support for critical issues which makes it very easy for enterprise companies.
i have used it during my tenure at cisco frequently for trainning purpose and also appeared for exam. Integration as i mentioned is very easy. i will highly recommend RHEL.

What do you dislike about the product?
Few things that i would like to mention:
1. If you are new to RHEL then the command help which is given in linux is not bery helpful for a beginner to understand .
2. The subscription fees is on higher side which makes it difficult to use for an indivisual users or small companies.
3. Sometimes you might feel the support services are slow but it depends.

>>The main problem that it is solving is in the field of security, there are so many vulnerabilities nowsdays that can lead to problems, RHEL provides advanced security features such as SELinux, security patches, and proactive vulnerability management which is very useful.
>>RHEL has high uptime and reliability, so in that way it is providing a stable platform for running critical applications and services which is a problem for normal operating systems as they have frequent downtime.
