NGINX Ingress Controller vs Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform comparison

"NGINX Ingress Controller has positively impacted our organization by saving us a lot of time, reducing our downtime, and allowing for safe releases."

"The solution's security throughout the stack and the software supply chain is very reliable. When it was on-prem, it was by default secured by our company firewalls and security tools, and now it's in the cloud, which has its security and systems in place. This provides stability to our infrastructure."

"The architecture is the best. The solution is scalable if you are on a container-based solution."

"I like the Flexibility of the solution."

"It has been a good solution to deploy all containerized applications."

"The platform is easy to scale as it supports Windows worker node."

"I have found the ability to scale up is most valuable."

"The console or the GUI of OpenShift is awesome. You can do a lot of things from there. You can perform administration tasks as well as development tasks."

"If I summarize the main benefit of this solution for my customers, it is the management of both virtualized and containerized environments, where the containerization will be more focused in the future."

"One improvement I see for NGINX Ingress Controller is that the obvious downside is the cost, as you pay for the license on top of AWS infrastructure and the pricing is not cheap."

"We encounter difficulties while accessing the environment and managing the cluster. This particular area needs improvement."

"OpenShift Container Platform needs to work on integrations."

"One area for improvement is that we can't currently run Docker inside a container, as it clashes with security consents. It would be good if we could change that."

"Setting up OpenShift locally can be challenging, particularly because it requires RHL Linux and has specific restrictions."

"The support costs are too high."

"Another thing that bugs me is that they removed the software in NFS storage. I don't understand why because this is a common type of storage. I am having problems with that, so I wish they would put it back."

"OpenShift Container Platform could improve by having better integration."

"The product's setup process could be easier."

"We have to pay for the license."

"It largely depends on how much money they earn from the application being deployed; you don't normally deploy an app just for the purpose of having it. You must constantly look into your revenue and how much you spend every container, minute, or hour of how much it is working."

"Its licensing is completely incomprehensible. We have special people within our company. They discuss with Red Hat subscription managers. It is too complex, and I do not understand it. We are from the government, and we are trying to be as cheap as possible. Sometimes, I am just amazed at the amount of money that we have to pay. It is crazy."

"The pricing is a bit more expensive than expected."

"If you buy the product for a year or three, you get a lot of discounts...I feel that the product is worth its cost, especially since setting it up can be done with just a few clicks."

"We currently have an annual license renewal."

"The pricing and licensing are handled on an upper management level, and I'm not involved in that, but I understand the solution to be somewhat pricey."

"The pricing is expensive for licensing."
