Complex but powerfull
What do you like best about the product?
The sky is the limit with OCP. When i first started with containerization I was very lost until i started working in Open shift. I went from knowing nothing to being a Open shift administrator within a few months. Now we manage over 20 clusters worldwide and continue to grow! There are so many great resources available to learn and can be applied to both kuberenetes and Open shift as they are very similar.
What do you dislike about the product?
Steep learning curve, it tools months to get proficient but once you understand the technology it just works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provide developers a great tool to design and build software without having to worry about the underlying technology. Also the build capabilities for containers make it a great tool for managing container builds and storing within the cluster internal registry.
Enterprise ready

OpenShift with Ansible Automation has changed how we do containerization.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be complicated to setup, and a bit complicated to maintain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used OpenShift as a platform to move from an older Kubernetize cluster to something that has more support at is easier to maintain ,

organizes application teams, better developer lifecycles
Enables seamless workload management and supports enterprise-grade integration
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Simplifies transitioning from legacy systems to containerized environments, enabling better scalability and flexibility.
Provides GPU integration and infrastructure that support the deployment and scaling of data-intensive AI workloads.
Accelerates delivery pipelines with robust CI/CD features, helping teams bring applications to market faster.
What is most valuable?
Scalability and High Availability: OpenShift makes it easy to scale applications horizontally or vertically based on demand. Its high-availability capabilities ensure reliability and minimize downtime.
Built-in Security Features: Enhanced security tools like role-based access control (RBAC), network segmentation, and image vulnerability scans protect containerized applications.
Operator Framework: This simplifies the management of Kubernetes applications, automating tasks like installation, upgrades, and maintenance.
What needs improvement?
Simplified Networking: While OpenShift has advanced networking features, simplifying configurations for complex setups could make it more accessible to users with varying expertise levels
Resource Management Visibility: Improving the display of limits and quotas issues can help developers better manage resources and avoid bottlenecks.
Availability and capacity reporting

Positive
What about the implementation team?
We provide a range of services, acting as implementers, integrators, and partners with Red Hat OpenShift.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Red Hat OpenShift has a high price, and the licensing model can be prohibitive for smaller customers. Initially, licensing was per CPU, with a memory cap, but the price has doubled, making it difficult to justify for clients with smaller compute needs.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Not tested any other solution
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate Red Hat OpenShift a nine out of ten. Despite the higher price and needed improvements, OpenShift is an enterprise-grade solution that meets most business needs. I would rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10.

What do you dislike about the product?
OpenShift Virtualization still needs more enhancement to achieve the expected user experience of enterprise customers. Its UI needs to be enhanced with having the ability to do everything using its Web UI with no need to command line interface.
Large scale traffic intensive performance needs to be more clear for Telco Operators to achieve mass market use cases.
Better integration with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform needs to be added to automate tasks and enhance the DevOps CI/CD life cycle.
Exposing traffic to external networks need to be more easier and intuitive.
