(Original )Information
What do you like best about Red Hat Satellite?

It comes from Red Hat, so the support is one-stop. It handles all the repos we could want. It groups hosts flexibly enough for our needs. It runs overnight, so we don't waste time during the workday. It can integrate with Insights, though we don't use that. It will patch our hosts in AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Red Hat Satellite?

It' a little opaque when there are errors, necessitating a support ticket. Sometimes the jobs lock up, which requires manual intervention. It won't patch CentOS, but we don't care since we have migrated off of that operating system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Red Hat Satellite:

Give it much more memory and swap space than the manual suggests because almost every support ticket requires expanding these. I believe we're up to 40GB memory after a couple of years of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Red Hat Satellite solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it for the main roles: RHEL patch distribution, scheduling, and enforcement. It has made our patching windows run much more smoothly and simply than when we ran Solaris 10 hosts! It's especially nice to lock in a set of patches that we can push out in successive waves, and have confidence that the first machines patch will get the same patches as the last ones done.

I believe though it's easy to go tool but the scope of improvement is always there. UI should be improved and help documentation need to update time to time.
