Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Satellite

We use it to manage patches, etc. on internal servers that are not directly attached to the internet. We also use it to ensure that every server in those various clusters get the exact same patches and versions, etc. This allows us to ensure that the servers are as identical as possible.

Pros

  • Patches
  • License Management
  • Dashboards / Visibility

Cons

  • Some things are confusing for new users of the platform
  • More dashboards
  • A more user friendly GUI
  • Flexibility
  • Visibility
  • Security Awareness
When you're first getting into the platform, the GUI can be a little confusing. It takes a little while to get accustomed to where everything is, and what everything is used for. I highly recommend prior training / classes before diving into the platform. This will ensure a better transition into the platform, and more likely to use more features of it overall due to the new knowledge gained.

Do you think Red Hat Satellite delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Red Hat Satellite's feature set?

Yes

Did Red Hat Satellite live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Red Hat Satellite go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Red Hat Satellite again?

Yes

It's very well suited to supply updates and licensing to servers that are not connected to the internet. It's also great to have a single pane of glass for all of your servers. If you don't mind your servers having internet, you can achieve most of the features by just using Red Hats Online Console.
