Easy-to-use product with valuable features for integrating CI/CD pipelines and repositories
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The product is easy to use. It has valuable features for integrating CI/CD pipelines, repositories, and support from open-source communities.
What needs improvement?
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 would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
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.
Also, a framework independent container platform along with the complete tracking of your resource utilization of all of your deployed applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
