A tool that offers a good production environment that is much more stable
What is our primary use case?
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.
Smooth and dependable product
What do you like best about the product?
What I like about this product is it provides multi-cloud deployment, which means to support across multiple cloud providers such as AWS, azure as well as on-premises environments, offering flexibility and avoiding dependency on a single vendor.
I can manage the whole cluster with a single dashboard that Openshift provides.

What do you dislike about the product?
Well, as a beginner, I found it complex to operate the platform with extensive features and configuration options. Also, we can say that it is a resource-hungry platform requiring a significant amount of CPU, memory and storage to run effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps me to run the microservices on premises. A cost-saving solution of my work.
Red Hat Openshift Review
What do you like best about the product?
I have used Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Engine for the last 16 months. I learned to use Openshift very quickly. It is easy to use and check the processing like pods, logs etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing is like I wouldn't say I like it. The price point is one of the issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are installing our product in Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Engine, so we are using it for development purposes.
Previously, we are using other kubernetes engine. Comparitively, Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Engine is easier to work and develop, to check the error logs, to resolve the errors

Unleashing the Power of Scalable Container Orchestration
What do you like best about the product?
One of the most helpful features of OpenShift Kubernetes Engine is its comprehensive application lifecycle management. The platform provides a streamlined process for deploying, scaling, and updating applications, offering flexibility in managing complex deployments. The ability to perform rolling updates and manage multiple versions of applications ensures minimal downtime and high availability, making it easier to maintain and evolve applications over time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since OpenShift is a comprehensive platform with extensive capabilities, it can take time and effort to understand and navigate all its features and concepts effectively. The learning curve arises primarily from the complexity of managing a Kubernetes-based environment, especially for users who are new to containerization and orchestration. OpenShift's rich set of functionalities, advanced configuration options, and terminology might be overwhelming for beginners or those with limited experience in working with container platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Container Orchestration Complexity: OpenShift simplifies the management of containerized applications by providing an enterprise-grade Kubernetes platform. It abstracts away the complexities of configuring and managing Kubernetes clusters, making it easier for organizations to adopt container orchestration without extensive expertise in Kubernetes.
Scalability and Resource Management: OpenShift enables organizations to scale their applications efficiently by providing automated scaling capabilities. It allows applications to dynamically adjust their resource usage based on demand, ensuring optimal utilization of resources and efficient allocation of compute, storage, and networking resources.
Application Lifecycle Management: OpenShift streamlines the deployment and management of applications throughout their lifecycle. It offers a range of deployment strategies, rollback options, and integration with continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. This simplifies the process of updating applications, reducing downtime and enhancing the overall agility of the development and deployment process.
