Azure Red Hat OpenShift Reviews

We use OpenShift on Azure as IaaS.

The cost of licensing per core is very expensive. I am in the process of migrating to AKS to reduce costs.

They need to improve the core licensing model.

It's expensive compared to a similar product, and we've only used some of its features on Kubernetes. Therefore, we are evaluating whether we will consider the possibility of replacing OpenShift, but nothing is certain yet.

We evaluated Rancher and AKS, and in the comparison, AKS proved to be more suitable for the company's needs.

Based on my experience, I would rate it a seven out of ten. It is a good product.

Most clients working on container technology want to move to the public cloud. With container technology, they can deploy Apache on Azure, AWS, GCP, or any other cloud platform.

The best part of OpenShift is you can migrate any OpenShift provider's container to any platform. If you want to migrate your containers from Azure to AWS or from on-premises to Azure, you can do so easily.

We can build a complete CI/CD pipeline on Azure using Azure tools or third-party tools. Azure Red Hat OpenShift does not include all CI/CD pipeline tools, so third-party software can be used. Red Hat builds some of the CI/CD pipelines sold on the Red Hat Platforms, which are used for any cloud platform, such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform. Red Hat should provide this because we don't want to use third-party tools like Jenkins or other automation platforms.

I have been using Azure Red Hat OpenShift for one and a half years. We are using V4.12 of the solution.

I rate the solution’s stability a ten out of ten.

We cater this solution to high-end customers.

I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.

We have to wait sometime for the support engineer for specific issues.

Neutral

The initial setup is not easy or not difficult. Azure Red Hat OpenShift is a complex platform, but it is also very powerful. We need to use some Azure resources, such as certificates and routes, to run it effectively. This means that we have some dependencies on the Azure platform.

Deployment takes two and three hours to complete.

I rate the initial setup a six or seven out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

The product is affordable.

I rate the product’s pricing a three out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I had been using Azure Red Hat OpenShift for corporate integrations, trying to build and develop a digital business.

We recently put in production a new solution based on the Oracle platform. As a platform, this solution needs to integrate with legacy systems that are not appropriately adapted to the cloud-native solutions, and this is the cupping layer.

Azure Red Hat OpenShift and its integration tools provide the tools we need to integrate legacy systems with digital products in a special manner.

The solution is supported by Red Hat and Microsoft together, and we have SLAs and SLOs to guarantee our resilience and operation. 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.

Azure Red Hat OpenShift's support should be improved. Sometimes, we have to act together with the Microsoft and Red Hat teams in some troubleshooting situations.

I would like to see something specifically developed or customized for analytics solutions in order to support data pipelines. Sometimes we have to build some predictive machine learning models and deliver them to the production environment. I don't have any DevOps automation or data ops specifically for this kind of data-intensive application.

I have been using Azure Red Hat OpenShift for three years.

I rate Azure Red Hat OpenShift a nine out of ten for stability.

I rate Azure Red Hat OpenShift an eight out of ten for scalability.

Azure Red Hat OpenShift's initial deployment depends on the problem that we have to solve for business. Sometimes we have a more sophisticated data pipeline interacting with different data sets with many transformations, and sometimes it's simple.

We have seen a return on investment with Azure Red Hat OpenShift.

Compared to other cloud environments like Amazon or Google, Azure Red Hat OpenShift is an expensive solution. I rate the solution a six out of ten for pricing.

We are currently using version 4.12 of Azure Red Hat OpenShift.

Overall, I rate Azure Red Hat OpenShift an eight out of ten.
