Enterprise Operating System
What do you like best about the product?
The system packages are tried and time-tested which means you won't get the bleeding edge versions, but you can count on them working. The RHEL community is large and Red Hat support is generally responsive to cases. The GUI in the desktop version is definitely a little older, but this is not meant to be a gaming platform, it's meant to be an enterprise OS for stability and security. The server is one of the only OS's I'll use in production.
What do you dislike about the product?
The continued reliance on YUM is, in my opinion, more antiquated than it's worth keeping around. DNF is coming in RHEL 8 hopefully. The pricing model for RHEL server is a little funky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm involved in building OpenStack clouds and Ceph clusters on RHEL 7.6. Considering both OpenStack and Ceph versions are supplied by Red Hat, it's an optimal fit.

Don't be scared of black & White servers
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Redhat Enterprise Linux since 10 years now. They are simply the best to run softwares at enterprise level.

I like the ease of maintenance of subscription, yum packages and other core technical features like OS level monitoring and scheduling.

Tough to say what i don't like about Redhat Linux. But they can improve a little on default out of box auditing features. It's sometimes hard to investigate user activities.

We are using it for hosting our multi-terabyte database servers and financial ERP.

Creación de servidores
One of the best Linux distributions for businesses
What do you like best about the product?
Redhat is one of the best operational solutions for more robust companies available on the market today. Along with the ability to enhance the operating system's security to the configuration recommended by current programs. The recommended CIS security configuration is what further strengthens its security and privacy posture.
What do you dislike about the product?
Linux has many options and configurations, in which if you have very little experience, it is very difficult. When done correctly, it can be trial and error if you are learning, and the community does not provide advice like Windows does, which means there are many resources available, as well as support from different providers. To improve the aforementioned, it is advisable to subscribe to a support channel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Important CIS templates can be configured and Linux security can be configured if the software allows it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A lot of security and configurations available in this easy-to-use operating system.

I use several Operating Systems for my server's needs, but only REL for the mission critical operations such as running databases, monitoring services, storage services and others.
What do you dislike about the product?
If ever needed the paid support can be pricey for small business. The twin brother CentOS is the case for these small clients
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The stability that this Operating System offers is the primary benefit, and along with it we're able to solve most of the problems that depend on this solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
