Solutions Architect at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Initial setup was relatively straightforward for a clustering solution.
SQL patching High availability We were looking for a better-than-Microsoft-SQL clustering solution. The interface can seem a little old school at times. By Old School, I simply mean from a graphics perspective it looks like word 97, not word 2013. I have used it for three years. The team from…

Platform has transformed our cloud into a secure, unified home for diverse modern applications
One of the best features of Red Hat OpenShift is that it has the catalog, the application catalog, and the operator hub, which allows us to deploy things easily and straightforward without going into a lot of hassles. This is one of the main things, in addition to having integration with ACM and ACS, where we can have the ability to manage multiple clusters and to secure them, deploy them, manage them, run GitOps and day-two operations, as well as upgrades and other functionality which is made easy using these tools. Red Hat OpenShift also provides virtualization capabilities, and I am currently working with Zain to make a project where we will convert F5 appliances to virtual machines and to manage them through Red Hat virtualization, OVE. Red Hat OpenShift is a unique platform because it provides the features for both worlds, containerization, and VMs at the same time, requiring you to learn one skillset in order to manage all of this at the same time. In the beginning, our cloud depended only on virtual machines, so I introduced this to our management to start to work with microservices and with containerization. This was adapted in our cloud, providing us the capability to sell more of these features and to reduce the hardware requirement by about thirty percent, following the trends of using containerization for all modern applications. In addition, it reduced the time to develop and to deploy a new application; all we need is using Jenkins for CI/CD. Once we commit any code, it gets triggered, and it will implement the new container in a very flexible and easy way, within seconds. This decreased the time to market and increased agility, allowing us to capture new opportunities very fast.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Customer service is excellent and technical support is excellent."
"Customer service has been excellent so far and technical support has been very helpful, quickly resolving any issues we encountered."
"OpenShift is the way of the future."
"Valuable features include time to market, avoiding vendor lock-in, and the ease of working in a multi-cloud environment."
"Red Hat OpenShift has positively impacted my organization primarily through observability, as for us, application uptime matters a lot when providing public-facing products consumed by customers, and hence, we're using that to keep refining our application and products through observability metrics and keeping pace with market trends, as we promised 99.99% uptime to our customers, and the observability in Red Hat OpenShift is really helping us a lot with that."
"We want to build a solution that can be deployable to any cloud because of client requirements and OpenShift allows us to do this."
"The most valuable feature is the auto scalers for all microservices. The feature allows us to place request limits and it is much cheaper than AWS."
"The main reason that we chose OpenShift rather than Azure or AWS was the scalability."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"Our small team developed and rolled out everything to production in a short time, mostly thanks to OpenShift."
 

Cons

"Upgrading from DxDev to DxEnterprise was a bit more bumpy, but even that was pretty easy to do."
"The interface can seem a little old school at times."
"With OpenShift, I can only manage a particular area. I can't manage other Kubernetes clusters."
"There is no orchestration platform in OpenShift, but we do in Kubernetes."
"The interface could be simplified a bit more."
"We need some kind of a multi-cluster management solution from the Red Hat site."
"They could provide a template for application deployment and building services and routes so it can all be promoted as a bundle if needed."
"The speed of deploying new applications can be improved."
"The solution needs to support the new features in Kubernetes more quickly."
"The metrics in OpenShift can use improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"OpenShift is really good when we need to start, but once we get to a certain scale, it becomes too expensive."
"The price depends on the type and the nature of the organizations, along with the types of projects that are of considerable range."
"We use the license-free version of Red Hat Openshift but we pay for the support."
"The licensing cost for OpenShift is expensive when compared to other products. RedHat also charges you additional costs apart from the standard licensing fees."
"The product's support is expensive. I would rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The model of pricing and buying licences is quite rigid. We are in the process of negotiating on demand pricing which will help us take advantage of the cloud as a whole."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"We had a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) license for all our servers' operating systems. By having multiple Red Hat products together, you can negotiate costs and leverage on having a sort of enterprise license agreement to reduce the overall outlay or TCO."
