Using RHEL 9
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful thing about RHEL so far is the stability. I haven't had any system crashes or app lockups since I've been using it. The install process was pretty easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's really locked down security wise compared to Windows. It's hard to accomplish simple things like renaming files using the GUI. As an IT administrator I often have to work on system files and it would be nice to just be able to sign in as an administrator and not have to type my password in every time I need to make a change to a sytem file.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it as a web server for our knowledge base product. It has been working smoothly.

A Great Enterprise-Grade Operating System
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the open-source ecosystem of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). RHEL, along with other RPM-based distributions (Fedora, CentOS, etc.), have a great package management system (dnf/yum), and the dependency resolution is really nice, regardless of if fetching content from the public Red Hat servers, or via a local Red Hat Satellite server. I also enjoy Red Hat Insights and being able to view statistics about my system (compliance, patches, asset information) on the go, without needing to log into the system or an underlying hypervisor.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm unsure if this is specific to RHEL, or if other Enterprise Linux distributions face this same issue, but some of the features included in RHEL are not always FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) compliant. The one utility that is not FIPS compliant is Leapp, which is a bit frustrating, especially during the RHEL 7/CentOS 7 End-of-Life.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is providing myself and my organization with the ability to run up-to-date versions of software, while also providing a stable infrastructure for Production-level workloads. That benefits me/us by experiencing less downtime, which means our customers and end-users can spend more time developing their applications and completing their work.
The Enterprise Linux at a small cost
What do you like best about the product?
For enterprise environments, a Linux distribution supported by software applications to be used, professional support and a ecosystem of tools helping managing same are important. RHEL offers all of that.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting the software and updates requires registration and a subscription. This can be an issue and slow down adoption in some use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well supported OS and container engine used widely - also by some customers.
an active user - prefer it over centos
What do you like best about the product?
supported with regular active security updates
What do you dislike about the product?
too slow to keep up with latest innovations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
stable dev & deployment platform
