In terms of configuration, Red Hat Insights could use some improvement. When I deploy Red Hat, the installation means a pure vanilla installation where you run and install a product out of the box, but deployment involves configuration plus all necessary tooling to run that product, which requires human input to complete the installation, configurations, and integration. Red Hat Insights has very limited automation; it only detects anomalies and triggers corrective actions for compliance issues, something which I found lacking when compared to other tools I've used.

I have not utilized the automation capabilities for remediation tasks within Red Hat Insights. The point is that we have a detached environment, so it is not really applicable. Here, what could be improved dramatically is the ability to have it used by an enterprise, which means to interlock with Ansible Automation Platform first. Secondly, including a change number or something that can help in tracking the remediation would be beneficial. If you come from an enterprise, you want to have all of the IT stuff in place. You cannot just remediate; you need to have a change and everything in place, and then you can do it. So even the planning can be something that can be improved.
Sometimes, the product has outages that affect the site's ability. I've had open tickets only to find that they've had problems. There should be a status page that informs users about any internal problems within the sites. This way, I can easily determine if the issue lies with them and not with my tenant. The product should provide more online documentation to explain the available options better.

The improvements, in my opinion, have to be done in the infrastructure of the Red Hat Satellite, it is very complex.
