Extremely good and mature product to be used for scale
What do you like best about the product?

What do you dislike about the product?
RedHat L1 support for the platform is not as good as the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
providing the paas platform for enterprise.
Helps to deploy applications but improvement is needed in integrations
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The tool's most valuable features include high availability, scalability, and security. Other features like advanced cluster management, advanced cluster security, and Red Hat Quay make it powerful for businesses. It also comes with features like OpenShift Virtualization.
What needs improvement?
OpenShift Container Platform needs to work on integrations.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool's stability an eight out of ten. We encountered certain bugs and issues, which were resolved once we raised them with Red Hat.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate OpenShift Container Platform's scalability a ten out of ten. The autoscale feature is particularly beneficial for managing varying traffic loads on the platform. It automatically deploys additional VMs in response to high traffic and scales down when the traffic returns to normal levels. This feature is more powerful when deploying the OpenShift Container Platform on cloud platforms like AWS or Azure, where it adapts to the fluctuating traffic demands. My company has 15 customers who are mostly enterprise businesses.
How are customer service and support?
Red Hat offers good technical support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
I rate the product's deployment an eight out of ten. It was a little complex. There are two to three types of initial configuration, including UBI. UBI is complex. Deployment takes around two hours to complete.
The deployment process involves some complexity. We create configuration files and distribute these files to the platforms we work on, such as VMware or Nutanix. Subsequently, we initiate the initial deployment and configuration of OpenShift.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten. There is a subscription called OpenShift Plus, which offers additional features and products the vendor provides to complement the OpenShift Container Platform. These include ACM, Red Hat Quay, and Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend studying the documentation thoroughly and preparing the infrastructure according to the guidelines. Following the documentation is crucial, and most issues reported were related to network problems. Therefore, I suggest becoming proficient in troubleshooting network issues to identify and resolve problems. I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Very good platform to implement on-prem Kubernetes
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to learn and manage after you learn basic Kubernetes concepts. It provides guard rails and tools to make managing Kubenetes easier . Especially OCP4 addressed several challenges in OCP3 so becoming more user friendly .
What do you dislike about the product?
We want to dynamically adjust spinning up and down of our batch applications that only run at night , but we end up consuming capacity anyway to gurantee availability of system resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deploying on-prem containerized applications in consistent manner and allowing scalability .
Provides good scalability and has an easy initial setup process
What is our primary use case?
We use OpenShift Container Platform for load balancing, scaling, self-healing, and distributed key database features. It helps us monitor cluster configuration.
What is most valuable?
The product has a CentOS operating system providing a stable and compatible foundation for hosting Red Hat OpenShift clusters. It helps in creating an architecture framework automatically. It makes it possible to control the CentOS API server and Kubernetes console.
What needs improvement?
We encounter difficulties while accessing the environment and managing the cluster. This particular area needs improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using OpenShift Container Platform as a partner for seven to eight months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product's stability is manageable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product is scalable. It is suitable for medium and enterprise businesses.
How are customer service and support?
The technical technical support services need updating with changing times.
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.
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.
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.
