DeepakMishra - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO, Head of Sales and Business Development at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Integrated cloud platform has streamlined app delivery and supported certified marketplace products
A potential area for improvement for Azure Red Hat OpenShift is to see managed identity support and ensure that some of the security features are not conflicting with Azure or Azure product features. I am sure in the future it will be more templatized so that we need not depend on Azure security features. Azure Red Hat OpenShift should be independent of Azure security features with respect to container scan and all that. Why would it use an Azure security feature? That is what I find. It is still yet to be GA and commonly available, but that is a strong reason for improvement.
Abhinand Gokhala K - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Lead at Bigone Technologies
The product is user-friendly and performs well, but it is very costly compared to other tools
We are a software development company. We recommend solutions to our clients, but they ask us to compare it with other solutions. Clients compare the monthly costs of Pantheon with other servers and ask us to create the same environment in dedicated servers. If Pantheon reduces its cost, we can confidently suggest it to clients. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Technical support from Red Hat is very good."
"It has a feature to automatically scale up or scale down. If my application is running in peak hours, it will automatically increase."
"Flexibility, a very well-developed interface, and ease of learning are the most valuable features of Azure Red Hat OpenShift."
"It supports AKS and other projects like Kubernetes or EKS."
"In Kubernetes, when traffic goes out of a pod, it has to have its own IP address. Every service that's going out requires another IP. But with OpenShift, you don't have to deal with any of those IPs because they use NAT."
"Red Hat is a very stable product with good integration with products such as Kubernetes, and it also offers migration tools."
"The solution's support and its automation tool that ensures we are secure and appropriately configured are the most valuable features of Azure Red Hat OpenShift."
"I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten."
"The product allows users to create multiple development environments."
"Pantheon has the most valuable workflow model."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of orchestration. While Azure orchestration offers valuable features, it's worth noting that it may not match the level of orchestration provided by Kubernetes itself."
"They need to improve the core licensing model."
"One of the things to notice is that this product can be expensive."
"Automation could be improved."
"Azure Red Hat OpenShift's support should be improved."
"The product is expensive."
"I would rate the technical support from Microsoft as six."
"I would like Azure Red Hat OpenShift to be more open to new frameworks and languages. Currently, if I create a pod with Rust, it doesn't work in OpenShift, and I must create a layer of interpretation."
"The Multidev environment is very costly compared to other tools like AWS and GCP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other cloud environments like Amazon or Google, Azure Red Hat OpenShift is an expensive solution."
"Azure Red Hat OpenShift is not a low-price solution; it's expensive. Pricing depends on the strategy and whether you buy it directly from Red Hat or the Azure portal. Additionally, some customers may need a complete disaster recovery solution, which requires additional licensing and software products for implementation, such as backups."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It is expensive compared to a similar product."
"The platform has reasonable pricing compared to other systems."
