Easiest platform to get started with, and to scale with your need
What do you like best about the product?
As a Red Hat partner, the ease of getting started with OpenShift makes it the perfect platform to bring to new and existing customers for modernizing their existing workload, or to deploy new cloud/native apps to.
What do you dislike about the product?
The continuing and never ending changing in subscriptions (CPU core count), and different products (OCP, Kubernetes engine, Virtualization etc) can make it extremely hard to predict how its going to be prices when its time to renew.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenShift is the perfect platform for a "any cloud, anywhere, and on-prem" platform. Build in tools like s2i and gitops makes it the perfect self/service platform to developers.
Best of both worlds - Containerization and Virtualization
What do you like best about the product?
Manageability and a single pane to handle.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes its easy to get lost in the plethora of features. A steep learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The challenge of having multiple products to manage VM's and containers. It also resolves having multiple support contracts.
Large scale applications
What do you like best about the product?
The OpenShift integrated platform allows us to scale our products seamlessly on either private or public clouds. Its configurability helps manage very diverse applications (front ends, back ends, ...),
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes too complex to configure. Requires initial training and ramp up of the operations team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red Hat Openshift gives us an abstraction above the different platforms and clouds, allowing us to configure our application once and run it everywhere.
OpenShift is our current container platform that replaced a plain k8s deployment.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to integrate it with the existing RedHat ecosystem as well as our VMWare environment. The support structure is another reason to choose OSCP.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support could be improved, especially how quick you could get to an engineer in case of a high priority incident.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provided a better built-in functionality vs. our previous product of choice; Rancher.
Openshift is unbelievable
What do you like best about the product?
Enhances DevOps productivity.
Integration with CI/CD makes it faster to develop
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost and complexity are the major drawbacks of open shift
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently we are still doing POC with open shift
Red Hat OpenShift Review
What do you like best about the product?
Enterprise support for an open source platform with updates that are stable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Adoption of new features can be slow, and support is lacking in technical expertise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Container management and orchestration for applications delivered through a pipeline.
Great option for replacing VMware
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it supports RBAC, SDDC / virtual networking and segmentation, robust integrated storage and backup / snapshot and many of the features we have come to love in VMware. But of course a lot cheaper :)
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s not very well developed UI and a lot of management is done with yaml and scripting but it’s also extremely customizable in this way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Like most of of the world we were sticker shocked when Broadcom bought VMware and trippled our renewal fees. We scrambled to find an alternative and albeit a bit clunky, major learning curve and not as refined we have settled on open shift at a fraction of the cost
Enterprise ready
What do you like best about the product?
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 ,
Containerized applications scale efficiently and has flexible pricing
What is our primary use case?
We are building an application that is a containerized application, and we are using Red Hat OpenShift for that application.
What is most valuable?
The concept of containers and scaling on demand is a feature I appreciate the most about Red Hat OpenShift.
Our solutions can easily scale to any number of users or requests if we are running on the cloud. The cloud also supports the pay-as-you-go model, so scalability is the biggest benefit.
What needs improvement?
They could work on the pricing model, making it more flexible and possibly lower.
For how long have I used the solution?
It has been almost one and a half years, maybe a little more.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability somewhere around eight to nine out of ten. It is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is easy to scale Red Hat OpenShift. The on-demand provisioning of pods and auto-scaling, whether horizontal or vertical, is the best part.
How are customer service and support?
I have been pretty happy in the past with getting support from Red Hat. We haven't had many cases regarding the support for OpenShift, however, we opened a couple of tickets, and they were satisfactorily answered.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have also used the VMware environment in our setup.
How was the initial setup?
I would say the initial setup is not very complex, but moderately complex, similar to other containerized platforms like Kubernetes. Compared to what we are used to running, such as other virtualization platforms like VMware, it is moderately complex.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Red Hat can improve on the pricing part by making it more flexible and possibly on the lower side.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
For the very basic features, I can compare it with VMware Tanzu as we are running a basic setup at the moment.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Red Hat OpenShift somewhere around eight out of ten.
AI integration sounds like a good idea as AI is the future, and a lot of products in the market are benefiting from AI integration.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Flexible y simple para utilizar
What do you like best about the product?
