Early adoption of Containers
open shift ai helped us alot
Extremely good and mature product to be used for scale
Stable platform providing a high grade of security and reliability
What is our primary use case?
What needs improvement?
There are challenges related to additional security layers, connectivity compliance for endpoints, and integration. Additionally, it needs a little training to understand the process.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a highly stable product. I rate the stability a ten out of ten.
How was the initial setup?
We have deployed OpenShift on the cloud. It is a one-time setup and can take longer to deploy. Once implemented, the rest of the deployment becomes easier. I rate the process a six out of ten.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product has reasonable pricing. It is an affordable solution but needs a learning effort to understand industrial-grade security.
What other advice do I have?
OpenShift facilitates DevOps practices and improves CI/CD workflows in terms of stability compared to Jenkins. We receive new versions of the plugin in timely intervals. If we do not upgrade the plugins, it introduces some security vulnerabilities at a corporate level.
I advise others to go for the product as it offers high security and reliability. I rate it an eight out of ten.
An expandable solution with an easy initial setup phase and a great GUI
What is our primary use case?
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.
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.
