We performed a comparison between Azure Red Hat OpenShift and OpenShift based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It supports AKS and other projects like Kubernetes or EKS."
"It has a feature to automatically scale up or scale down. If my application is running in peak hours, it will automatically increase."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are accessibility and scalability."
"This solution helps us to account for peak seasons involving higher demand than usual. It also gives us confidence in the security of our overall systems."
"Two stand-out features are the security model and value-add features that don't exist in Upstream Kubernetes."
"It's cloud agnostic and the containerization and security features are outstanding."
"Security is also an important part of this solution. By default, things are running with limited privileges and securely confined to their own resources. This way, different users and projects can all use the same infrastructure."
"I like OCP, and the management UI is better than the open-source ones."
"OpenShift offers robust tools for monitoring application traffic, allowing us to analyze client requests and other business-related metrics."
"The product's initial setup is very easy, especially compared to AWS."
"Excellent GUI support, so one does not need to use the command line client for almost any tasks. Great support for building images directly from Git repositories with hooks."
"One of the things to notice is that this product can be expensive."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"Automation could be improved."
"Azure Red Hat OpenShift's support should be improved."
"They need to improve the core licensing model."
"OpenShift's storage management could be better."
"The solution needs to support the new features in Kubernetes more quickly."
"There are challenges related to additional security layers, connectivity compliance for endpoints, and integration."
"It could use auto-scaling based on criteria such as transaction volume, queue backlog, etc. Currently, it is limited to CPU and memory."
"The area for improvement is mostly in support for legacy applications."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"The operators need a lot of improvement, with better integrations."
"One area for improvement is the documentation. They need to make it a little bit more user-friendly. Also, if you compare certain features and the installation process with Rancher, Rancher is simpler."
