The main goal is the modernization of our applications. We have a few applications running on mainframes, which increase costs. We aim to modernize them on containers and microservices. We are shifting towards Kubernetes or Docker. As an enterprise client, the best solution is Red Hat OpenShift paired with support from Red Hat.

Automation boosts load management with promising growth in application modernization
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
A valuable feature of Red Hat OpenShift is its ability to handle increased loads by automatically adding nodes. This automation impresses us and benefits us in managing loads on applications.
Although we have just started the transition and are moving slowly, OpenShift has been helpful in modernizing our applications, and it is a positive step forward.
What needs improvement?
The GUI could have more capabilities, particularly around virtualization. Some features are missing, such as storage migrations, when compared with VMware.
As we use both Red Hat virtualization and OpenShift together, differentiating between them becomes challenging. We should aim to include VMware-like capabilities to be competitive, especially considering cost factors.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with OpenShift for a year now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Right now, I would rate the stability of OpenShift as eight out of ten. It performs well under load, providing the desired output.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Red Hat OpenShift scales excellently, with a rating of ten out of ten. It allows for scaling as much as needed, which is a significant advantage.
How are customer service and support?
We are currently dealing with both local support and Red Hat support, and they have been amazing.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were a VMware house for a long time, about ten to 15 years. However, the cost for VMware skyrocketed, making it hard to continue using it.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is complex.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost is a crucial factor, particularly with licensing. As things evolve, companies increasingly focus on cost-effectiveness.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Kubernetes, as an open-source option, is a significant competitor, particularly for those dealing with cost concerns.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate OpenShift nine out of ten overall.
It is suitable for any company, regardless of size. Smaller companies may opt for open-source solutions like Kubernetes. However, OpenShift offers comprehensive support, which is appealing to enterprise clients.
Containerized applications scale efficiently and has flexible pricing
What is our primary use case?
We are building an application that is a containerized application, and we are using Red Hat OpenShift for that application.
What is most valuable?
The concept of containers and scaling on demand is a feature I appreciate the most about Red Hat OpenShift.
Our solutions can easily scale to any number of users or requests if we are running on the cloud. The cloud also supports the pay-as-you-go model, so scalability is the biggest benefit.
What needs improvement?
They could work on the pricing model, making it more flexible and possibly lower.
For how long have I used the solution?
It has been almost one and a half years, maybe a little more.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability somewhere around eight to nine out of ten. It is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is easy to scale Red Hat OpenShift. The on-demand provisioning of pods and auto-scaling, whether horizontal or vertical, is the best part.
How are customer service and support?
I have been pretty happy in the past with getting support from Red Hat. We haven't had many cases regarding the support for OpenShift, however, we opened a couple of tickets, and they were satisfactorily answered.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have also used the VMware environment in our setup.
How was the initial setup?
I would say the initial setup is not very complex, but moderately complex, similar to other containerized platforms like Kubernetes. Compared to what we are used to running, such as other virtualization platforms like VMware, it is moderately complex.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Red Hat can improve on the pricing part by making it more flexible and possibly on the lower side.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
For the very basic features, I can compare it with VMware Tanzu as we are running a basic setup at the moment.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Red Hat OpenShift somewhere around eight out of ten.
AI integration sounds like a good idea as AI is the future, and a lot of products in the market are benefiting from AI integration.

It is expensive for a student who wants to learn
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloud easier to access
My experience with OpenShift
What do you like best about the product?
The perfect integration with Kubernetes as it adds many additional tools, making the management of containers and applications easier without much manual effort, and its enterprise support is a great plus for critical production projects. Additionally, security updates and advanced functionalities ensure stability.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its learning curve since, although it has many features, setting up OpenShift initially can be complicated, especially for users coming from pure Kubernetes or who have little experience with PaaS platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The complex management of containers and orchestration since Kubernetes is a powerful tool but difficult to handle without customization or advanced knowledge. OpenShift simplifies cluster management, automating tasks such as deployment, scaling, and monitoring of containers.
