We performed a comparison between OpenShift Container Platform and Rancher Labs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Some of the primary features we leverage in the platform have to do with how we manage the cluster configurations, the properties, and the auto-scalability. These are the features that definitely provide value in terms of reducing overhead for the developers."
"The most valuable feature is that the solution can be deployed in the cloud which removes the expense of a server."
"The best feature is the management for the port life cycle, which automatically recycles, pulls, and scales up and down based on needs and requests."
"Everything is packaged into OpenShift Container Platform."
"OpenShift provides tools that tell me everything I have on a container, and I can make it on-premise or on a cloud infrastructure."
"The tool's most valuable features include high availability, scalability, and security. Other features like advanced cluster management, advanced cluster security, and Red Hat Quay make it powerful for businesses. It also comes with features like OpenShift Virtualization."
"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."
"The architecture is the best. The solution is scalable if you are on a container-based solution."
"The solution has a lot of good features, such as you can access the console and edit through the GUI. The dashboard and the UI are designed well, user-friendly, and easy to manage, and access."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is an open-source solution that is easy to deploy."
"This solution is not vendor-locked, which means that we we are able to use it across all of our resources; this feature is of great value to us."
"The product is simple to use for a beginner."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"The scalability potential is very good."
"Rancher Labs is a very user-friendly tool."
"The solution is stable."
"We encounter difficulties while accessing the environment and managing the cluster. This particular area needs improvement."
"The support costs are too high."
"OpenShift needs to improve their container storage."
"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."
"The product's interface is a bit buggy."
"There is room for improvement with integration."
"OpenShift has certain restrictions in terms of managing the cluster when it's running on a public cloud. For example, identity and access management integration with the IM of AWS is quite difficult. It requires some open-source tools to integrate. This is one area where I always see room for improvement."
"It can take 10 to 15 minutes to deploy a microservice. The CI/CD process takes a long time, and if it's because of OCP, that is something that can be changed."
"If you have poor infrastructure, you will have issues with the tool."
"There needs to be an improvement in observability and microservice monitoring tools in Rancher Labs."
"We're looking for something that is even easier to use. It's a bit complicated."
"We have found that the auto-secure feature of this solution doesn't always work, and could be improved to be more reliable, particularly when working with business critical applications."
"The biggest room for improvement in Rancher Labs would be to have a proper upgrading plan."
"One area for improvement in Rancher Labs is the development aspect."
"They should improve application visibility along with code visibility."
"The solution could improve by adding more features in the dashboard, such as monitoring, scanning, and security. This would be a great benefit."
