Compared to OpenStack, OpenShift is the best product in the market. There are plenty of cloud service providers who use OpenStack or other open-source products, but OpenShift is the best. Even AWS is just an okay product, but they have different proprietary software, which is not the same as OpenShift.

OpenShift is easy to use and scale applications
What do you like best about the product?
Kubernetes is a nice solution for scaling up and down applications based on load. OpenShift is becoming more popular so other tools usually have a solution for using their tools with OpenShift. And OpenShift is built with security in mind to help make sure developers are doing the right thing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting a new cluster created and installing new operators or upgrading operators on the clusters.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to implement good ci/cd process and standards for our company. Helps us cut down on resources because we can easily scale applications down and back up
An expandable solution with an easy initial setup phase and a great GUI
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the solution stem from the product's GUI, and other such areas of the product have been set up. Compared to AWS, OpenShift is better.
What needs improvement?
Latency and performance are two areas of concern in OpenShift where improvements are required.
OpenShift's scalability has scope for improvement.
OpenShift's technical support team needs to improve the support they provide to my company since the support we currently receive depends on the support package we have from the ones that OpenShift offers, like platinum, gold, or silver. OpenShift's technical support team is good, but it takes time for them to find the root cause of a particular issue. One of the clients of my company doesn't face many issues with the product, so we don't use much of the technical support. I can say that OpenShift's technical support team is okay in general.
I have experience with the product, but I don't possess a large amount of technical knowledge to comment on what functionalities need to be added to the product.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using OpenShift for two years. My company is a user of Red Hat products.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable or expandable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Eight members of my company's team use OpenShift.
How are customer service and support?
For one of my company's clients, we have to deal with the technical support team of OpenShift. With Red Hat, my company has platinum support. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
AWS and DigitalOcean are products with which I have some experience.
Kubernetes on AWS is a bit complex to set up, whereas OpenShift is easier for me to set up. However, they use the same things during the setup process. OpenShift is just a better product for a new user compared to AWS since the former is easier to understand.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup is very easy, especially compared to AWS.
The solution is deployed on a public cloud since half of the deployment is in the data center and half of it is in the cloud.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My company makes payments towards the licensing costs attached to OpenShift.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
During the evaluation phase, I looked at Google Cloud.
What other advice do I have?
I carried out OpenShift's integration process for two or three firms as a part of the team, so it was not done by myself alone. I did carry out the integration process for AWS. Comparing OpenShift with AWS, I found the former to be much easier.
I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
Easy-to-use product with valuable features for integrating CI/CD pipelines and repositories

The product’s integration with Windows containers and other third-party products needs improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using OpenShift for three to four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable platform.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product is expensive to scale for smaller businesses in an on-premise environment. They can instead opt for a public cloud setup. The enterprises that can afford the cost should only opt for it if they have a specific use case or want to transform applications.
How are customer service and support?
We receive remote and on-call support services on purchasing an enterprise support subscription.
How was the initial setup?
The implementation is not as straightforward as VMware products. It requires prior experience for easier deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product’s pricing is expensive. It has the biggest market share right now as a containerization platform. It is the highest-selling product.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Vanilla doesn’t have essential features like CI/CD integration, repositories, and community, similar to OpenShift.
What other advice do I have?
I rate OpenShift a nine out of ten. It is a wonderful product. I advise others to choose the environment size properly. You can deploy it on a public cloud and not necessarily on-premises. You can decide depending on the workload and data localization requirements.
Very good platform to implement on-prem Kubernetes
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to learn and manage after you learn basic Kubernetes concepts. It provides guard rails and tools to make managing Kubenetes easier . Especially OCP4 addressed several challenges in OCP3 so becoming more user friendly .
What do you dislike about the product?
We want to dynamically adjust spinning up and down of our batch applications that only run at night , but we end up consuming capacity anyway to gurantee availability of system resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deploying on-prem containerized applications in consistent manner and allowing scalability .
Openshift as on orchestration
What do you like best about the product?
It provides you with a centralized environment to orchestrate or scale up your applications.
Also, a framework independent container platform along with the complete tracking of your resource utilization of all of your deployed applications.

As the community is so small, there is less documentation available.
Also, it is not compatible with every other operating system you can only have a minimal choice of selection between them.
Also, it is not compatible with every other operating system you can only have a minimal choice of selection between them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While moving from hypervisor to redhat openshift. It was easy to migrate between the ESXi used virtual machines and openshift on-prem environment. As it is partnered with IBM, so we used IBM Cloud paks for NOI to migrate it.
Best containerization platform for microservice application
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about openshift is it give us full customisation rights for creating and deploying any services. Also when a pod gets deleted or gets down it automatically creates a new pod or a replica of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although its a great tool for many companies but still the PVC and external storage creates a mess with the application which causes failure in read and write acess.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is widely used tool but the main problem that it solves is the container management and its pod monitoring which helps us to create alerts and this makes every company to prevent from a huge losses
very good
What do you like best about the product?
Pods Management, routes, services, deployments, projects/ configpaths, oc cli command,cloudbees integration
What do you dislike about the product?
Cluster admin skills, is not my strong, not more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
release management lifecycle
Its flagship product is the OpenShift Container Platform
What do you like best about the product?
it is very easy to understand and helful in day to day work
What do you dislike about the product?
OpenShift is based on Kubernetes and we try to use all the Kubernetes objects of OpenShift. We don't use features that are specific to OpenShift, except internal certificates for the services. The one feature that is missing from Kubernetes and that is really useful in OpenShift is the lifecycle of the cluster and the ease of installation. We use VMware and VMware integration internally with the OpenShift installer, which is very good. With OpenShift it's easy to spin up or scale out a cluster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its security is most valuable. It's by default secure, which is very important.
Cloud native way : OpenShift
What do you like best about the product?
The additional functionalities that it offers, which are not there in Kubernetes, is what makes OpenShift different.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are setting up OpenShift on bare metal servers it may get complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whenever we encounter issues, the support from the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is excellent.
A tool that offers a good production environment that is much more stable
What is our primary use case?
I have not used it on IBM Cloud. It is basically used on AWS and Azure. I am using a standard OpenShift.
OpenShift is a container orchestration tool. We have been using it for hosting products on container-based applications.
How has it helped my organization?
Actually, what happens is that the solution gives or provides that kind of stability and much more. It gives a good production environment that is much more stable and error-free. That's how the solution contributes to the productivity of my whole organization.
What is most valuable?
If we compare OpenShift and Kubernetes Harbor, OpenShift is derived from Kubernetes. However, some of the most prominent features of OpenShift are its security services and some of the policies, especially security policies that are some of the add-ons and the best things I like in OpenShift.
What needs improvement?
Some things need to be improved in the solution. Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible.
I think some more things will come in, like the projects of CNCFs. I think that verified CNCF projects will be integrated into OpenShift.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using OpenShift for eighteen months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
I think the support is fine. It depends upon some of the SLAs and how things or how the SLAs have been maintained. Overall, it is fine, so I will rate the support a seven out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
Initially, the setup seemed to be complex, but the recommendations from Red Hat, and especially on the CoreOS systems, for quality, stability, and security purposes, it seems to be complex. However, once we get hands-on experience, it is very, very useful and easily maintainable as well.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment, and it depends upon the types and the nature of some of the most critical applications that have been hosted on the OpenShift infrastructure. Considering in terms of stability, performance-wise, and security-wise, if everything goes fine, I think its return on investment is justified.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price depends on the type and the nature of the organizations, along with the types of projects that are of considerable range. I don't think the price is very much of an issue for any organization against the services being delivered over the cloud and the services of OpenSuite.
What other advice do I have?
If any organization is just working on open-source technologies and wants to have enterprise support and enterprise-grade solutions, then we must go with OpenShift.
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
