What is most valuable?
What needs improvement?
One area for product improvement is the support limitations within the subscription models, particularly the restricted support hours for lower-tier subscriptions.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have six years of experience working with the OpenShift Container Platform.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product has proven to be very stable, crucial for supporting our applications effectively.
How was the initial setup?
Setting up the OpenShift Container Platform was straightforward. It's primarily deployed on-premises, although I've also utilized cloud solutions. It takes 15 days to complete the setup. Around three executives are involved in both the deployment and ongoing maintenance.
I rate the process an eight.
What was our ROI?
The migration from VMs to containers has resulted in significant cost savings for us.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product pricing is competitive and structured around vCPU subscriptions, aligning with our application requirements.
What other advice do I have?
OpenShift integrates seamlessly with our CI/CD pipelines, offering robust automation and deployment capabilities. I would highly recommend it.
I rate it a ten.
Supports Kubernetes technology, but the stability needs improvement
What is our primary use case?
OpenShift Connect Platform is on a private cloud setup. There, we deploy all of our applications.
What is most valuable?
They have built on top of Kubernetes. Most of the Kubernetes latest technology is already supported by the solution. The only thing is, we need to change our view of the routes.
What needs improvement?
The stability needs improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using OpenShift Container Platform for one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability wise, I think there were few issues, but I'm not sure whether it was on an organization level or it was from OpenShift. The stability is a seven out of ten.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is not very complex but it is not as easy as Kubernetes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We have to pay for the license.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
