Likelihood to Recommend
It is most effective in Windows PC environments and doing mass Windows deployments across a wired LAN. It would not be suitable for small office/school environments or for environments with limited PC usage.

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.

I do feel the overall workflow to setup updates is initally quite cumbersome and requires several steps to get going. I would like to see this process improved. From manually bringing in subscriptions to having to manually enable repositories in multiple places it is just frustrating at times. Thankfully, this is only on setup

Support Rating
The majority of the support reps I talk to on the phone are quick to respond and very helpful. They will take their time helping you with any case for the SDA and have any issues with it. They will help you build new boot environments or deployments if you get stuck or have a problem.
