Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

We build high-performance computing clusters and we use RHEL as the OS of choice. Compliance is a big one. And then updates and stability. Generally a good product.
  • Documentation is good. There's a lot of troubleshooting, there are a lot of examples. I think that's good. There's a lot of help around compliance and security issues.
  • Use. Licensing. Licensing in the Red Hat portal is very, very difficult. It's very hard to track our licenses and make sure that we get them done correctly and we don't want to use the satellite server. Yeah, so that's it.
  • N/A
RHEL is better for most use cases that I use professionally for sure. It's the best choice for a professional development environment or a professional server environment.

It's well suited for installing pretty much anywhere and it's usually the documentation is very good and there's a lot of support from the documentation and training to make good use of the product. It's not as good as a workstation, it's better as a server product. It's not necessarily good in kind of other situations as well because of some of the licensing constraints.
