How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have used SAP before. We switched to OpenShift Container Platform for better support facilities. We are their gold partner. However, the support services have needed improvement in the last six to seven months.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup process is easy. We have a dedicated team for data installation. It takes around three months to complete. The product is easy to maintain as well. We have a team of 35 to 40 executives to work on it.
What other advice do I have?
I advise others to learn about the tool, including certification, warning alerts, security, and monitoring features. It isn't easy to manage the cluster using it.
I rate OpenShift Container PlatformOpen an eight out of ten.
Very complex to integrate, but provides fast container deployment
What is our primary use case?
It is used for containers.
What is most valuable?
It is very lightweight and can be deployed very fast, especially when it comes to containers. It can spin the web and the DB very fast, so we don't need to deploy the server and the VM. Everything is in the container.
What needs improvement?
There is room for improvement with integration.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution has good scalability. I rate the scalability of the solution a nine out of ten. There is also room for improvement in the scalability of the solution.
One or two users are using OpenShift in our company, and we hope to increase the usage.
How are customer service and support?
The support is very good. Their response and technical skills are good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used Docker before. We shifted to OpenShift because we were using Docker for self-learning.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is complex. The solution is deployed on-premises. However, it can also be deployed on the cloud.
To deploy OpenShift, first, you must get the installer and then prepare a minimum requirement. You will need a key physical server as a load balancer. OpenShift has a lot of roles in its nodes, with worker nodes and master nodes. Since different nodes have their role, the setup is complex. You will need to set up ten or 12 nodes like this. After you have set up all the nodes, you need to do the integration and set up OpenShift.
It takes a month or a year to deploy it.
What about the implementation team?
The deployment can be done in-house. There are two people required for maintenance.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is expensive for licensing. The customer has to pay for the license.
What other advice do I have?
Before choosing OpenShift, I advise you to know your application landscape very well. Only then will you know if you require OpenShift. If you are unclear about your application environment, layout, and structure, it is potentially not a good idea because you don't understand it.
Overall, I would rate the solution a five out of ten.
Empowers cloud transition and integration, offering strong usability and centralized consultation
What is our primary use case?
The principal use case of the platform is the transition and migration to the cloud. The second one is the modernization of our integration platforms.
What is most valuable?
The usability and the developer experience. The platform has a centralized consultant that is easy to use for our development, operations and security teams.
What needs improvement?
The price needs to be improved in OpenShift Container Platform.
When I choose this, the product is the first factor that we have to make a long analysis to compare the real cost for the other services. However, price is high.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using OpenShift Container Platform for five years. We started with OpenShift Container Platform and now we have OpenShift Container Platform tools.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the product’s stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the tool’s scalability a nine out of ten.
How was the initial setup?
The solution is difficult to set up because of the limitations of the premises.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate the product a nine out of ten.
Openshift as on orchestration
What do you like best about the product?
It provides you with a centralized environment to orchestrate or scale up your applications.
Also, a framework independent container platform along with the complete tracking of your resource utilization of all of your deployed applications.
Also, a framework independent container platform along with the complete tracking of your resource utilization of all of your deployed applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
As the community is so small, there is less documentation available.
Also, it is not compatible with every other operating system you can only have a minimal choice of selection between them.
Also, it is not compatible with every other operating system you can only have a minimal choice of selection between them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While moving from hypervisor to redhat openshift. It was easy to migrate between the ESXi used virtual machines and openshift on-prem environment. As it is partnered with IBM, so we used IBM Cloud paks for NOI to migrate it.
With an excellent technical support in place, the tool needs to focus on improving its buggy interface
What is our primary use case?
I usually help companies design their environments, find workloads efficiencies, suggest best practices, and provide an overview of the environment, which involves consultation and a focused-oriented approach. I also deploy and develop solutions for companies. I do end-to-end deployment for companies.
OpenShift Container Platform is used by companies moving from their old monolithic environment to a microservices-oriented architecture. If a company wants to do a BAU sort of stuff, they already have OpenShift Container Platform, but they need someone to drive it or work on its day-to-day automation while looking at its integration with Ansible or Puppet.
What is most valuable?
People choose OpenShift Container Platform because it's an open-source and Red Hat Kubernetes product. Red Hat has made Kubernetes command-line oriented, obscure, and hard to learn. OpenShift is easier to learn for a newbie, especially for someone who has not used CLI. The support structure of OpenShift is pretty good and absolutely terrific. The bug fixes and patching capabilities, along with the whole ecosystem of OpenShift Container Platform, are very mature from a technical standpoint or from an enterprise standpoint. If you are a big company and invest a lot of money in certain solutions, you need and expect top-notch support and features of very high quality. OpenShift Container Platform is a very good way to get in started in this whole containerization journey for some companies because the underlying product is from Red Hat, which has its own benefits. The aforementioned factors play a role in the decision-making process of most companies.
What needs improvement?
I have only been working for two years on OpenShift Container Platform, and I have only seen good stuff so far. Hopefully, in the next two years, I will have a bit more hands-on experience to find out some pain points in the product.
There are no perfect tools. Many things can be done better in a product, but I don't know how to make it possible. Once I have done enough with the tool, I should be able to give you a bit more insight into the product's pain points.
The interface could be a bit more useful or better. The product's interface is a bit buggy.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using OpenShift Container Platform for a couple of years. I am a consultant who specializes in Red Hat products. I am a Red Hat-certified engineer.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The tool is scalable enough because it is available across the clouds, like AWS or Azure. You can have the tool deployed on-premises too. I think it's a pretty scalable tool.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support has been pretty good. Red Hat offers the best support to its users.
What other advice do I have?
I am a person who is a bit more infrastructure-focused. JBoss is a middleware software, and I don't really work in that space. I am more into the underlying infrastructure, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Containers and Kubernetes, and that sort of stuff, including OpenShift and OpenStack. I am not really into the application layer.
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
Best containerization platform for microservice application
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about openshift is it give us full customisation rights for creating and deploying any services. Also when a pod gets deleted or gets down it automatically creates a new pod or a replica of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although its a great tool for many companies but still the PVC and external storage creates a mess with the application which causes failure in read and write acess.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is widely used tool but the main problem that it solves is the container management and its pod monitoring which helps us to create alerts and this makes every company to prevent from a huge losses
very good
What do you like best about the product?
Pods Management, routes, services, deployments, projects/ configpaths, oc cli command,cloudbees integration
What do you dislike about the product?
Cluster admin skills, is not my strong, not more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
release management lifecycle
Its flagship product is the OpenShift Container Platform
What do you like best about the product?
it is very easy to understand and helful in day to day work
What do you dislike about the product?
OpenShift is based on Kubernetes and we try to use all the Kubernetes objects of OpenShift. We don't use features that are specific to OpenShift, except internal certificates for the services. The one feature that is missing from Kubernetes and that is really useful in OpenShift is the lifecycle of the cluster and the ease of installation. We use VMware and VMware integration internally with the OpenShift installer, which is very good. With OpenShift it's easy to spin up or scale out a cluster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its security is most valuable. It's by default secure, which is very important.
Cloud native way : OpenShift
What do you like best about the product?
The additional functionalities that it offers, which are not there in Kubernetes, is what makes OpenShift different.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are setting up OpenShift on bare metal servers it may get complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whenever we encounter issues, the support from the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is excellent.
