Compared to OpenStack, OpenShift is the best product in the market. There are plenty of cloud service providers who use OpenStack or other open-source products, but OpenShift is the best. Even AWS is just an okay product, but they have different proprietary software, which is not the same as OpenShift.

An expandable solution with an easy initial setup phase and a great GUI
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the solution stem from the product's GUI, and other such areas of the product have been set up. Compared to AWS, OpenShift is better.
What needs improvement?
Latency and performance are two areas of concern in OpenShift where improvements are required.
OpenShift's scalability has scope for improvement.
OpenShift's technical support team needs to improve the support they provide to my company since the support we currently receive depends on the support package we have from the ones that OpenShift offers, like platinum, gold, or silver. OpenShift's technical support team is good, but it takes time for them to find the root cause of a particular issue. One of the clients of my company doesn't face many issues with the product, so we don't use much of the technical support. I can say that OpenShift's technical support team is okay in general.
I have experience with the product, but I don't possess a large amount of technical knowledge to comment on what functionalities need to be added to the product.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using OpenShift for two years. My company is a user of Red Hat products.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable or expandable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Eight members of my company's team use OpenShift.
How are customer service and support?
For one of my company's clients, we have to deal with the technical support team of OpenShift. With Red Hat, my company has platinum support. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
AWS and DigitalOcean are products with which I have some experience.
Kubernetes on AWS is a bit complex to set up, whereas OpenShift is easier for me to set up. However, they use the same things during the setup process. OpenShift is just a better product for a new user compared to AWS since the former is easier to understand.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup is very easy, especially compared to AWS.
The solution is deployed on a public cloud since half of the deployment is in the data center and half of it is in the cloud.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My company makes payments towards the licensing costs attached to OpenShift.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
During the evaluation phase, I looked at Google Cloud.
What other advice do I have?
I carried out OpenShift's integration process for two or three firms as a part of the team, so it was not done by myself alone. I did carry out the integration process for AWS. Comparing OpenShift with AWS, I found the former to be much easier.
I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.
Easy-to-use product with valuable features for integrating CI/CD pipelines and repositories
What is our primary use case?
We use OpenShift for the deployment of microservices architecture and containerizing applications.
What is most valuable?
The product is easy to use. It has valuable features for integrating CI/CD pipelines, repositories, and support from open-source communities.
What needs improvement?
The product’s integration with Windows containers and other third-party products needs improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using OpenShift for three to four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable platform.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product is expensive to scale for smaller businesses in an on-premise environment. They can instead opt for a public cloud setup. The enterprises that can afford the cost should only opt for it if they have a specific use case or want to transform applications.
How are customer service and support?
We receive remote and on-call support services on purchasing an enterprise support subscription.
How was the initial setup?
The implementation is not as straightforward as VMware products. It requires prior experience for easier deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product’s pricing is expensive. It has the biggest market share right now as a containerization platform. It is the highest-selling product.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Vanilla doesn’t have essential features like CI/CD integration, repositories, and community, similar to OpenShift.
What other advice do I have?
I rate OpenShift a nine out of ten. It is a wonderful product. I advise others to choose the environment size properly. You can deploy it on a public cloud and not necessarily on-premises. You can decide depending on the workload and data localization requirements.
Best experience to manage and maintain kubernets operators and
What do you like best about the product?
It can easily integrated with lot of other cloud vendors like Azure, Aws nad Google this the best part of Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Engine. I have used it to run and manage my multiple VM within same container without appecting the performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Whenever I tried to install patch for kubernetes operator it was not compatible to for installation. There may be some decoding issues with patch or what but it's need to get fixed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest work of managing multiple VM smoothly within single container was perfectly done with the help of Red Hat OpenShift kubernetes Engine. The security and maintenance of my kubernetes applications was incredibly increased.
Reviewing Red Hat OpenShift
What do you like best about the product?
It is the best enterprise Kubernetes platform for launching containers. It is highly scalable and easy to deploy for enterprise business. It is built for both cloud-based and on-premise deployment.
What do you dislike about the product?
One should gain some Red Hat training to start working for the organization, especially those new to DevOps and containerization. Otherwise, it is good tool with a feature and container platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red Hat Openshift Kubernetes helps automate application deployment, scaling and operation. It provides troubleshooting tools, debugging option and logs aggregation.
One of the best Kubernetes platform
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to configure and use. Containers are supported natively but the ease of orchestration and management of the containers through RedHat OpenShift Kubernetes are far more delighted.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such. It provides great support with CICD pipelines or even harness, which is the bare minimum expectation and but this service provides way more than that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickly running our containerized application on Kubernetes provides a lot of flexibility. We have seasonal demands for the workloads and it outshines the way it handles the load demand.

What do you dislike about the product?
In the time of trouble with the cluster you have to debug one more extra layer apart from k8s i.e openshift
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides platform on top of k8s to manage several things.
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 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.
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.
