Best Enterprise-level OS out there
What do you like best about the product?
Knowing that we have an excellent company to turn to for support and great services to choose from is invaluable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Much access to CVEs/solutions/etc. requires login...but, really, if that's the worst, that's not bad.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being a reliable and robust enterprise OS for all of our platform needs
Solid, Stable, Secure Server OS
What do you like best about the product?
RHEL is a complete, stable, and secure operating system that is very good at using system resources and delivering solid uptime for services run on it. The most common server software (for web, database, directory, etc.) is packaged by RedHat, kept up-to-date with back-ported security updates, and easily updatable via RPM.
The Linux operating system makes better use of system resources than Windows-based servers. For this reason, any Linux makes better use of things like memory and CPU. RHEL generally sets up a small subset of required processes (that you can also easily tailor to your needs) on install. Things are a little more "additive", meaning it will start with more bare minimum services, and you add what is needed for your particular case. They try to strike a balance between most commonly-needed things, and security.
Having software installed via RPM and centralized in repositories (which you can self-host by purchasing Satellite) makes it incredibly easy to keep your environment updated and scriptable.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I can really mark as a dislike is the cost/licensing of it. To be fair, a lot of work goes into maintaining the packages and OS in a non-disruptive manner. While I think you are getting what you pay for, licensing shenanigans are always possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RHEL makes good use of our hardware, making it very easy to keep updated and secure. We don't have to hunt down third-party software and pay additional licensing; everything we need for our web platform is included, namely: Apache/NGINX for the webserver, PHP/Python for the app layer, and MySQL/PostgreSQL for the database layer. Everyone's server needs differ, but if you are looking for a solution (not a particular brand), then RedHat will probably work. What I mean by this is that if you want ActiveDirectory, you aren't going to run that on RHEL. If you want "a directory server", you have a choice of various server software packaged on RHEL that will fit that need.
Review on Red Hat Linux
What do you like best about the product?
Red hat Linux is an enterprise grade Linux OS which is used for hosting Backend applications and i like the support from Red hat team if there is any issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
After working with Red hat Linux I did not think there is any dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves our issues of hosting Backend applications.
Ready for scaling right out of the box
What do you like best about the product?
It generally has all other packages I need available in it's repositories and if not since it is so widely used you can find support for just about everything you could need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Regarding virtualization built in it just doesn't compare to VMware or Hyper-V. It is functional but not as customizable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is very easy to manage multiple servers from a single location rather than needing physical access to each server we deploy.
A secured operating system for enterprise
What do you like best about the product?
It is one of most reliable and secure operating system that provides robust features and extensive support options. Its stable and scalable platform is widely used in enterprise environments for mission-critical applications. With its open-source approach and flexible deployment options, it's a top choice for businesses of all sizes.
Also the customer support is amazing if required any troubleshooting or to get any report on root cause analysis for any incident or problem.

What do you dislike about the product?
On of biggest drawback is its cli based usage. UI need to be designed so that we can get what is working and going in backend hassle free like other operating systems. Some critical commands are also left open which can halt system when used normally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red hat helped me in making services run on low end specs without high demand for resources. As comes whith command line option so its fast and quick compared to GUI based operating systems.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basis distribution for our workloads.

Excellent product to scale applications in large scale with security implementations and can achieve quite amount of great results in short span of time.
Safe and Secure OS
What do you like best about the product?
One of the leading Enterprise systems for Linux, it provides stability, scalability and automation. It's not only limited to on-prem but is also cloud-native, meaning it can be deployed on any cloud VM. It provides a secure way of running the apps. We have been running thousands of kubernetes pods on this without any disruption.
What do you dislike about the product?
RHEL is an enterprise edition of Linux. So it might not be adaptable for some small industries looking for an open-source solution. Apart from this I do not see any other downside.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking for a safe and secure way to build our Kubernetes platform, whether on-prem or cloud. Considering the vulnerabilities threat, we do not want to use some open source OS. RHEL came to our rescue, and we have been using it as our underlying OS for managing our nodes. At the same time, we were also looking for secure container images and ended up using the RHEL-backed container images.
