awesome operating system
What do you like best about the product?
i like the command line is by far better than the msdos from windows , also they have a nice graphic interface with all the stuff you need , you have more control of your files and it gives you more options to customize than other linux distros , also the hardware requirements are lower than microsoft windows servers and the yum feature to download software works really great , also another think i really like is that you can diagnose any software issues with just a one single command like , if you know you way around linux you can get a lot from this operating system
What do you dislike about the product?
well i think i dislike we need to pay for it , it is supposed to be GNU like the rest of the linux distros , for example fedora and centos are similar products that are for free , other think i dont like and is related are the subscription if you stop paying you are not able to download anything .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
server related problems that we can have with regular windows servers , also by using the command line interface and scripting we can schedule daily backups and even routines using a cronjob , , also we had less issues with Red hat virtual machines than the ones we had with windows .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
is more secure and uses less resources , also is really reliable in all aspects

Safe, Secure and powerful
What do you like best about the product?
Redhat Linux is one of the most robust operating solutions available, coupled with the ability to further secure the OS to the CIS recommended security settings further strengthens its security posture and robustness.
What do you dislike about the product?
Linux has a lot of options and configurations, getting it right can be trial and error if you are learning and the community isn't as large as the Windows community, that said, there is plenty of resources out there as well as various support options from different vendors. I would recommend subscribing to a well know support channel such as Unbreakable Linux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Robustness and stability are the main reasons, Redhat can run for years without a reboot assuming you are running decent commercial software, that said you need to keep the system up to date with the latest patches as well as kernel updates that tend to require a reboot. Make sure you choose a decent antivirus for the server as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Important to configure to the CIS template and use SeLinux if your software allows for it.
Best Operating System for stable working outside software

Clear and very good documentation. Stable without any crashes in our case. Very good environment support and community. Stable stable stable and secure ... if it's working don't touch. Flexible license system a special in cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately some case i found. They crash my world when change SysV to systemd... but everything change ... ( " Evolve or Die ") .. They change more interesting things in 7 release but finally we can live with that if of course you adapt. Yep we can said one more thing of course price this product and support is expensive...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Yep we run oracle database real cluster and warehouse on this operating system. We resolve all our instability environment problem. That was our main case i think.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's depend of your needs but yes. For some part of environment you should chose this Operating System.

The best Server level Operating System
What do you like best about the product?
I love Linux. This Community fixes bugs really fast and their periodic releases, this is having the huge server level community. Easy to manage and make all processes run smoothly, until some one really messes up something. We can manage Clusters, High Performance Computing Machines, Web Servers what not anything you get in your mind. This supports minimum to heavy load hardware machine.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is basically nothing to dislike in RHEL. I faced the following problems
When the drive failed or disconnected either External or Internal Disks. If the Disk configuration is made using the fstab. The PC will not boot. There are lot of solutions for this, just need to surf the Net.

We have around 15 Machines running RHEL, HPC's, NAS's and many Web servers running this amazing OS.
Stable Linux OS and top notch support
What do you like best about the product?
Red Hat's vulnerability notifications. When they discover something that needs to be fixed, we are alerted right away.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, RedHat provides everything that we needed to deploy our servers. If I HAD to say something bad about it, the licensing is a little tricky for first time users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have custom applications that run on ruby on rails. Having a supported and current OS is a must in today's world.
RHEL greatness
What do you like best about the product?
When it comes to RHEL what i enjoy is the overall support you get from the vendors. They are there what seems 24/7 to make sure you have everything you need to get the job done.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times where there are slight issues when it comes to the training to be certified. They made some changes recently that caused confusion but they were able to get this explained.

With the the overall reporting has been a breeze compared to others.

Redhat review
What do you like best about the product?
RedHat Linux is widely used among many of my customers so it makes it easy for me to support my products. Their documentation is great so I can easily find what I need to resolve issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't like is the editting toosls, not necessarily because they're bad, but user error. I'm not very good with using them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work with customers to resolve communications issues. Benefits are the ease of use and great documentation they provide.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep up the good work. The product is great.
Exceptional Performance; Nearly Zero Downtime
What do you like best about the product?
What could be said about RHEL that hasn't already been said? Fanastic Linux distro with top-tier support and an incredible user community. This is one of the top used Distros in the world and while it is paid for, it is well worth the enterprise support received.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really nothing bad can be said about RHEL. If you are familiar with Linux and need the enterprise support and patching then this is the way to go. Perhaps, not so much a dislike, but worth nothing that companies that implement RHEL may require RHEL specific certifications before allowing you to touch the hardware, even if you are familiar with other distros.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data processing, patching, automation, development and much more. Everything is streamlined and efficient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need the top-tier support that comes with RHEL then there is no reason not to consider switching. While other Distros may offer the same functionality, you will always have support when needed and patching when required.
