Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server is a versatile platform that can be deployed on physical systems, as a guest on the major hypervisors, or in the cloud.

Hardware partners, ISVs, and customers depend on the stability of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux core system infrastructure, provided by published interfaces (kABI, core libraries, and service infrastructure) that Red Hat assures through and across releases. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server also includes a complete LAMP stack, file and print services, and authentication services.

Red Hat's Smart Management add-on, when coupled with Red Hat Network Satellite, allows you to manage the complete lifecycle of your Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.

The Smart Management add-on includes Red Hat Network Satellite management and provisioning modules that allow you to provision, patch, configure, and fully control your Red Hat Enterprise Linux development, test, and production systems. By proactively automating routine tasks such as patch management, you'll have time to concentrate on other, higher value-added tasks.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux: A Rock-Solid Foundation
Incentivized Review (Incentive offered for this review)

What do you like best about the product?

RHEL is a the best solution for real-life enterprise application. Its stability and security are unmatched, making it my go-to for mission-critical systems. I's really easy to use once you’re familiar with RPM-based ecosystems—tools like YUM/DNF simplify package management. The subscription model ensures timely updates and access to Red Hat’s stellar support, which has saved me hours of troubleshooting. Integration with enterprise tools (think OpenShift, Ansible, or cloud platforms) feels seamless, and SELinux’s granular security controls are a lifesaver. For daily use, it’s reliable enough that I rarely second-guess its performance.

What do you dislike about the product?

The learning curve is steep for people new to RPM distributions. While powerful, SELinux and firewall-cmd can feel overwhelming without Red Hat’s training. The UI feels dated compared to Ubuntu or Fedora, which might deter people used to polished GUIs. Licensing costs add up quickly for small businesses, and the subscription activation process is clunky—I’ve lost time untangling portal issues. Out-of-the-box software is often older for stability’s sake, which means manually adding repos for newer apps.

Rock-Solid Stability and Enterprise-Grade Performance
Incentivized Review (Incentive offered for this review)

What do you like best about the product?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is an outstanding operating system for enterprise environments, delivering unmatched stability, security, and long-term support. Its robust performance makes it ideal for mission-critical workloads, and the seamless integration with Red Hat’s ecosystem ensures reliability at every level. The extensive documentation, excellent customer support, and frequent security updates provide peace of mind for IT teams. Additionally, RHEL’s compatibility with a vast range of enterprise applications and cloud platforms makes it a top choice for businesses looking for a scalable and efficient Linux solution. Highly recommended for organizations that prioritize security, performance, and support.

What do you dislike about the product?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is a fantastic choice for businesses that need a stable, secure, and well-supported operating system. It offers top-notch reliability, excellent security features, and seamless integration with enterprise tools. However, one downside is the cost—RHEL’s subscription model can be expensive, especially for small businesses or individuals who need enterprise features but have budget constraints. Additionally, some users may find the strict licensing and lack of access to the latest cutting-edge software a bit limiting compared to community-driven distributions like Fedora or Ubuntu. Despite this, RHEL remains a solid investment for companies that prioritize long-term stability and professional support.

What do you like best about the product?

It is a stable and secure operating system where you get updates very frequently to address security vulnerabilities. It is simply the core of all technologies. Releases life cycles are very good and not short.

What do you dislike about the product?

Maybe as end user, more GUI user friendly applications need to be added. More ease of use for important security features like data encryption at rest. Major Upgrade procedures need to be more straight forward and easier.
