reviewer2587590

Platform Engineer & Manager at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

Red Hat OpenShift's biggest disadvantage is they do not provide any private cloud setup where we can host on our site using their services.

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers find Komodor affordable and scalable, though some larger entities note increased costs with usage growth.

Red Hat OpenShift's pricing is high but offers comprehensive support, with cost variations depending on hosting, nodes, and enterprise agreements.

Initially, licensing was per CPU, with a memory cap, but the price has doubled, making it difficult to justify for clients with smaller compute needs.

AbdulJaleel

Senior Technical Lead at MORO

The pricing for Red Hat OpenShift is considered quite high.

reviewer2382555

Manager for Middleware at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Because it was centrally managed in our company, many metrics that we had to write code for were available out of the box, including utilization, CPU utilization, memory, and similar metrics.

Pratul Shukla

Vice President at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

The main benefits Red Hat OpenShift provides for me as a final user include the capacity to integrate third-party tools and also the integration between observability, security, and monitoring capacities.

Unified cloud workloads have become visible and teams manage kubernetes issues efficiently

This is the main task that we use Komodor for, and one additional benefit is that it is also helpful for platform and site reliability engineers to check how many clusters are up and running and how many clusters are accepting the workloads from the users. One of the best features that Komodor offers is Cloud AI, which debugs all the logs and gives the exact root cause for the issue. From there, we know we do not need an engineer who is an expert in Kubernetes to debug the issue. Cloud AI has definitely helped my team by saving time, not in a single instance but in multiple cases where we have used Cloud AI for debugging issues in the Kubernetes pods. Komodor has positively impacted our organization. Since adopting it, all the issues we faced while managing Rancher are gone, and we are seeing 100% availability for Komodor. 100% availability with Komodor means there have been improvements in uptime and productivity. For instance, when application teams want to deploy their applications, if Rancher is not up or running, the deployments usually fail at the deployment stage. In the case of Komodor, there have been no such cases reported after adopting it. We saw 100% uptime most of the time, except for some issues with AWS outages.

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.
