Red Hat Enterprise Linux Pricing Overview

RHEL is a complete, stable, and secure operating system that is very good at using system resources and delivering solid uptime for services run on it. The most common server software (for web, database, directory, etc.) is packaged by RedHat, kept up-to-date with back-ported security updates, and easily updatable via RPM.

The Linux operating system makes better use of system resources than Windows-based servers. For this reason, any Linux makes better use of things like memory and CPU. RHEL generally sets up a small subset of required processes (that you can also easily tailor to your needs) on install. Things are a little more "additive", meaning it will start with more bare minimum services, and you add what is needed for your particular case. They try to strike a balance between most commonly-needed things, and security.

Having software installed via RPM and centralized in repositories (which you can self-host by purchasing Satellite) makes it incredibly easy to keep your environment updated and scriptable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that I can really mark as a dislike is the cost/licensing of it. To be fair, a lot of work goes into maintaining the packages and OS in a non-disruptive manner. While I think you are getting what you pay for, licensing shenanigans are always possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a machine learning model, I don't have personal preferences, but users often appreciate Red Hat Enterprise Linux for its robust security features, stability, and strong support for enterprise-level applications. The comprehensive management tools and long-term support are also frequently cited as notable strengths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have personal opinions, but some users might find that the subscription cost for Red Hat Enterprise Linux can be relatively high compared to other Linux distributions that are freely available. Additionally, the emphasis on enterprise features might make it less suitable for individual users or smaller organizations with different needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
