Default App Stream Repos coming with old software and it's hard to install alternative, newer versions of Packages like Python.

The training available for Red Hat is readily available. The support from Red Hat engineers is top notch and I love having a single point of contact to reach out to when my team has problems.

    Broadcast Media

It's better than Ubuntu

  • May 19, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Consistency across minor releases, excellent vendor support, easy of installation and patch management. The knowledge base is very, very good and makes it easy to self-solve issues. The consistency across releases makes it easy for newer administrators and engineers to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of vendors who ship their products for free Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, forcing us as an enterprise to offer Ubuntu support to our internal customers. If there were a solution for this situation, specifically in the broadcast media space that I work in, it would make my life a lot easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It powers the majority of our Enterprise, financial and broadcast applications. It is well supported by most of these vendors (see my earlier comment about some broadcast vendors shipping with Ubuntu because they don't want to pay for an included RHEL subscription).
