Red Hat Satellite works amazingly with servers that need more control over their packages. For one or two servers that you're just doing "dnf update" Red Hat Satellite is way overkill.

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
