Easy to use Kubernetes
What do you like best about the product?
easy to install and set up. Stability and user community.
What do you dislike about the product?
air-gapped environments are always a pain to bootstrap vs internet-connected
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping Kubernetes as simple as possible to manage and administer
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.
Auto scaling of application
What do you like best about the product?
Pod migration without affecting the application with rolling upgrade
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to master the platform and need training
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scaling easily
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
Essential for CI/CD development
What do you like best about the product?
As a development platform, it enables devs to rapidly commit and test code updates without requiring assistance from admins. As a production platform, the observability and ease of performance monitoring and tuning is key to making the most of our available resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's still entirely too manual. I would prefer to not have to edit yaml all the time and rely on the command line. Either I'm using raw K8s or a shiny GUI platform -- but with OCS I feel like I need to be an expert in both.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Modernization of antiquated defense systems.
Complex but powerfull
What do you like best about the product?
The sky is the limit with OCP. When i first started with containerization I was very lost until i started working in Open shift. I went from knowing nothing to being a Open shift administrator within a few months. Now we manage over 20 clusters worldwide and continue to grow! There are so many great resources available to learn and can be applied to both kuberenetes and Open shift as they are very similar.
What do you dislike about the product?
Steep learning curve, it tools months to get proficient but once you understand the technology it just works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provide developers a great tool to design and build software without having to worry about the underlying technology. Also the build capabilities for containers make it a great tool for managing container builds and storing within the cluster internal registry.
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 ,
RedHat Open shift
What do you like best about the product?
Running containers and its UI is so user friendly. its add-ons are helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
compatibility Issues with upgrades, and migrating apps at scale is tedious.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Container platform, its useful in running several containers.
Batteries included platform
What do you like best about the product?
Secure by default and batteries included
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes too much complexity and over engineered solutions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing people needed to manage k8s platform
Enables seamless workload management and supports enterprise-grade integration
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Simplifies transitioning from legacy systems to containerized environments, enabling better scalability and flexibility.
Provides GPU integration and infrastructure that support the deployment and scaling of data-intensive AI workloads.
Accelerates delivery pipelines with robust CI/CD features, helping teams bring applications to market faster.
What is most valuable?
Scalability and High Availability: OpenShift makes it easy to scale applications horizontally or vertically based on demand. Its high-availability capabilities ensure reliability and minimize downtime.
Built-in Security Features: Enhanced security tools like role-based access control (RBAC), network segmentation, and image vulnerability scans protect containerized applications.
Operator Framework: This simplifies the management of Kubernetes applications, automating tasks like installation, upgrades, and maintenance.
What needs improvement?
Simplified Networking: While OpenShift has advanced networking features, simplifying configurations for complex setups could make it more accessible to users with varying expertise levels
Resource Management Visibility: Improving the display of limits and quotas issues can help developers better manage resources and avoid bottlenecks.
Availability and capacity reporting
For how long have I used the solution?
We have approximately two years of experience with Red Hat OpenShift.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Red Hat OpenShift is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the scalability of Red Hat OpenShift as an eight or nine out of ten. The platform has shown significant improvement with each new version, adding valuable features while making it easy to scale by adding or removing worker nodes and storage.
How are customer service and support?
Red Hat's technical support is good, and I would rate it a nine out of ten.
What about the implementation team?
We provide a range of services, acting as implementers, integrators, and partners with Red Hat OpenShift.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Red Hat OpenShift has a high price, and the licensing model can be prohibitive for smaller customers. Initially, licensing was per CPU, with a memory cap, but the price has doubled, making it difficult to justify for clients with smaller compute needs.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Not tested any other solution
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate Red Hat OpenShift a nine out of ten. Despite the higher price and needed improvements, OpenShift is an enterprise-grade solution that meets most business needs. I would rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10.
