Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

The operating system is used in the company. The system is really stable and scalable. It's supported by a robust company that creates the upgrades and vulnerability patches for the releases and applications and this helps to narrow the bridge between the new software compared with other operating systems. RHEL has also many applications on top of the operating system which easy the configuration as a platform integrated with different packages and software that help to ease, manage and scale the configurations of the System. RHEL also is increasing the portfolio of the RHEL with applications such as containers, Ansible, JBoss, and others to have a robust product that can be configured in a single system. The levels of support and the cost of subscription are also competitive for the use of the technology and the IT costs of today.
  • Excellent delivery of patches, upgrades, and solutions for vulnerabilities.
  • Excellent support
  • Competitive prices for today's IT
  • It doesn't have another boot environment, like Solaris (BE) or AIX. This will help upgrade O.S. in physical hardware.
  • Training courses, documentation and certification is expensive
  • Personalized solutions are lacking and high cost which is joined to expensive training makes some products and configurations less attractive than for example AWS.
  • Features with high security and dynamic release of patches for vulnerability solution
  • Systems able to have high availability and resilience
  • Ease of configuration, automation and escalation
  • ROI is increased especially in combination between RHEL and Ansible
  • Decrease in configuration and deployment times, especially in combination between RHEL and Ansible
  • Improvements in overall server standardization, especially in combination between RHEL and Ansible
RHEL is much more flexible in configuration than any Unix system like IBM AIX or Oracle Solaris. At the same time has the excellent release of updates and support that Oracle Linux or CentOS Linux doesn't have. RHEL has also companion tools in the Red Hat products which help scale, configure, and automate a great [number] of servers like Red Hat Ansible or Red hat Satellite.

RHEL is excellent for the usage of Operating systems where a high available Linux is needed and the following features are needed: - High available Linux and configurations in the cluster - Patching cycles for vulnerabilities is needed on an ongoing basis and also configuration management with Red Hat Satellite - Support within 7x24. - Integration using automation of a high amount of servers needs to be accomplished. For example, using Ansible
