red hat as a secure engine for databases

  • December 26, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
red hat was the first distribution to use the rpm engine to synthesize packages in a more efficient way, providing support unlike other operating systems, the red hat community is one of the active maas, being this mainly used for base engines of data for security and user-level support provided by this community, it should be noted that the rpm package analysis is for its support in libraries or repository libraries.
What do you dislike about the product?

their script is different from other operating systems such as for installing packages, rest libraries everything is fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
in datacenter environments it is widely used for its security layer at the firewall level and good management of database engines and the support provided by it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Within the considerations in the network task viewer hat is the most stable, its installation of rpm packages is one of the best for me since the installation and update of its repositories is automatically, once learned their sentences are makes its configuration very easy in server environments and data centers.

RedHat Enterprise for Small Business

  • December 15, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like is the flexibility and the robustness of the system, you can use it for different scenarios or applications and you can customize it to your needs even after the installation. I like that RedHat is a company with good prestige in the area and they offer a solid and secure Operating System.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way the licensing is managed. I guess they can have a better way to manage that because sometimes is very difficult administer servers without the license to do updates or install new packages. I don't like that RedHat is focusing more in other areas and I think they are behind in the new features o the OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use RHEL for file server, print servers, mail server, web server, and almost anything for a small business necessities. We use Linux for a vast range of applications, from file servers to virtualization, but since CENTOS offers the same distribution as RedHat, we are moving some applications to CENTOS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can recommend to use CENTOS distribution if you don't need the RHEL support, it is the same distribution but without pay for the extra support.

Main Operating System used for work

  • December 14, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Secure, reliable and well maintained by the developers. Simple to use
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to the aim of having a reliable OS, some of the more up-to-date packages are not readily available from the repos. To install more up to date software, sometimes you will need to manually build and compile.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using RedHat Enterprise Linux as our Production desktop VM. RedHat Enterprise Linux makes it easy to secure our VMS and ensure all our employees comply with our security standards.

awesome operating system

  • December 07, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

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

Security on servers with red hat

  • December 06, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Redhat is the best operating system in terms of server security, with a solid track record, being an RPM operating system, it contains a number of packages and repositories adapted to end users, as well as an enterprise version that adapts to current IT requirements. allowing to configure more secure servers and adapting to the environments of virtualization platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
what I dislike about redhat is that despite being a free Linux distribution, support and some packages have high costs. Another problem is Some Bios do not support booting with RAID cards and you have to install the boot root outside of RAID.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Redhat helped me in VCenter VMware, many clients ask me to supply virtual machines with Redhat due to the security levels for servers of this operating system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation is to document with the amount of manuals that exist of redhat, which are very useful at the time of taking the first steps with this distribution of linux.

Enterprise support for an Open Source Gem

  • November 23, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As it is geared towards enterprise, support and careful rollout of features is the biggest benefit. While one could simply download a regular free flavor of Linux, companies opt for this as they provide a lot of value-added services that you otherwise would not have.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is both a blessing a curse - unfortunately because of the need to support enterprise, the version of linux is not always bleeding edge. For those customers that need the latest and greatest this can prove to be problematic. For others, it means that you're receiving software that has been carefully tested and supported.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We migrated away from Windows servers and moved to linux . We chose redhat enterprise linux for the benefit of their support of a tried and true very well tested product.

Business OS

  • November 20, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Redhat OS is a well funded OS that gives guarantee's that its customers will be running the most commercially secure OS available, RHEL is the enterprise desktop and server that is Red Hat’s bread and butter. It’s based off of releases of Fedora – the community-maintained, Red Hat-backed distribution that’s free for everyone. RHEL places a high importance on stability, since it’s meant to be used on mission-critical systems. The stability and support that Red Hat offers has made it be the top choice for an enterprise Linux operating system. I will say that allot of industry customer I have come across do end up deciding between redhat and Oracle OS - but that is neither here nor there, as they are essentially the same system with different support structures.

RPM's are able to taker the hassle out of installing software on a machine though, I often have to explain it to customers as a redhat friendly .exe file.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unlike Fedora and many other operating systems, Redhat just feels old, it feels like they haven't made any new and exciting design decisions since the late 90's, everythingis blocky and uniformly grey. The secuirty can also be overwhelming to a new user as well, as before yuou can even ssh into a machine running redhat, you must install the ssh-server & relax the firewall options around the ssh ports. Probably good for the more security focused network admins, but it can seem like a daunting task to newbies
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing inside of redhat assures us that our product is stable
