Director IT at Servnet
Significant backup for containers, but the customer service is terrible
Anyone considering this solution should not compare it to the old versions. They should be a partner with Virtuozzo and run all the certifications. Also, they need a good lab to understand the technology and how they can apply that technology conveniently. This is very commercial software. It does not have support, so you will need to be hands-on. I would rate Odin Virtuozzo a six out of 10 overall.

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

"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
"Red Hat OpenShift positively impacts my organization by making tasks easier with a consistent emphasis on high availability and reliability while also being cost-effective."
"Provides support throughout the whole platform."
"We want to build a solution that can be deployable to any cloud because of client requirements and OpenShift allows us to do this."
"OpenShift offers robust tools for monitoring application traffic, allowing us to analyze client requests and other business-related metrics."
"We have found the cluster management function to be very good with this product."
"I would recommend Red Hat OpenShift, especially for its automation capabilities."
"Our small team developed and rolled out everything to production in a short time, mostly thanks to OpenShift."
"The security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"OpenShift's storage management could be better."
"I had to frequently upgrade my cluster due to OpenShift's rolling updates every six months, which I found to be excessive."
"The GUI could have more capabilities, particularly around virtualization. Some features are missing, such as storage migrations, when compared with VMware."
"We need some kind of a multi-cluster management solution from the Red Hat site."
"Further needed improvements in Red Hat OpenShift include that getting the providers will be a little bit tricky in the console."
"Not a ten because it's not a standard solution and the endpoint protection user has to prepare with documentation or have training from other people. It's not easy to start because it's not like other solutions."
"Documentation and technical support could be improved. The product is good, but when we raise a case with support—say we are having an image issue—the support is not really up to the mark. It is difficult to get support... When we raise a case, their support people will hesitate to get on a call or a screen-sharing session. That is a major drawback when it comes to OpenShift."
"Red Hat OpenShift can be improved by reducing its complexity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Odin Virtuozzo is based on consumption on demand."
"The licensing cost for OpenShift is expensive when compared to other products. RedHat also charges you additional costs apart from the standard licensing fees."
"OpenShift is really good when we need to start, but once we get to a certain scale, it becomes too expensive."
"It's expensive. It may be cheaper to invest in building Vanilla Kubernetes, especially if security is not the number one motivation or requirement. Of course, that's difficult, and in some business areas, such as banking, that's not something you can put as a second priority. In other situations, a Vanilla Kubernetes with a sufficiently strong team can be cheaper and almost as effective."
"We are currently using the open version, OKD. We plan to get the enterprise version in the future."
"The pricing for OpenShift includes support and licensing, which costs approximately $400."
"Pricing of OpenShift depends on the number of nodes and who is hosting it."
"The pricing is standard; the solution isn't particularly expensive or affordable."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
