Powerful Yet Challenging Transition
What do you like best about the product?
I like Red Hat OpenShift because we use it for deploying and managing our applications in containers, making scaling easy for us. The consistent experience across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments is really valuable, as code works the same in all environments right through to production. The transition to OpenShift solved our issues with code standardization across different machines. Its inbuilt DevOps features like pipelines and workflows are an added advantage. We chose OpenShift over Amazon EKS and Google Kubernetes Engine due to its hybrid nature and common functionality checks across environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the high cost of Red Hat OpenShift compared to other alternatives in the market. The initial transition phase is complex and takes a lot of time to set up, which can be overwhelming. Also, it's heavy on processing, requiring more resources than we initially had.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Red Hat OpenShift to deploy and manage applications in containers, enhancing scalability and compliance. It solves code standardization issues across diverse machines, and its built-in DevOps features add value.

Versatile, Costly but Complex Cloud Solution
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Red Hat OpenShift is built on Kubernetes, which significantly enhances my ability to streamline developer workflows. This integration allows me to leverage Kubernetes' powerful orchestration tools, providing a robust infrastructure for deploying and managing containerized applications at scale. Additionally, I appreciate the granular control it offers, enabling me to fine-tune deployments according to specific needs across hybrid cloud environments. This level of control is crucial in optimizing resource allocation and ensuring efficient application management.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find Red Hat OpenShift to be a bit costly, which can be a significant consideration when managing budgets. Additionally, even though there are numerous configuration options available, the platform tends to feel quite opinionated, which can lead to a steep learning curve for users trying to fully leverage its capabilities. Moreover, the initial setup process is somewhat complex, which can be daunting when first getting started with the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Red Hat OpenShift for deploying and managing containerized applications at scale across hybrid cloud environments, streamlining my developer workflow with its Kubernetes foundation and granular control.
Streamlines Deployment but Complexity and Cost Persist
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Red Hat OpenShift for its ability to streamline developer workflows in application development and modernization. Its unified enterprise-grade Kubernetes platform simplifies complexity, automates manual tasks, and ensures consistency across deployments. I love its consistent and automated environment which allows developers to build and deploy applications effortlessly across various platforms. The initial setup is highly automated, requiring minimal user input beyond configuration, which the cloud provider and Red Hat manage effectively. This automation simplifies the process significantly, allowing for a quick and efficient deployment through the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find Red Hat OpenShift to be quite complex, particularly when managing configurations for security settings, networking, and storage across multiple clusters and environments. This complexity can make the initial setup challenging and often requires a significant investment in training and support. Additionally, the cost associated with using Red Hat OpenShift is a concern, given the resource demands it imposes. Furthermore, there are certain integration issues which can complicate its use with other tools or systems, affecting the overall seamlessness we aim for in our workflows.
