Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 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.""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.""I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten.""The most valuable features of the solution are accessibility and scalability."

"My favorite component of IBM's solution is Node-RED, which greatly shortens the amount of time required to develop, test, and deploy new applications.""IBM is the only vendor to offer integration with blockchain for smart contract development.""Cloud Foundry builds the runtime environment directly without requiring dependency management from the user."

Cons
"Azure Red Hat OpenShift's support should be improved.""The product is 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.""They need to improve the core licensing model.""Automation could be improved.""One of the things to notice is that this product can be expensive."

"After the initial excitement period with Node-RED is over, you crave the need of additional integrations to third-party services.""In IBM Cloud, the product has been deprecated in favor of Kubernetes, which is a more complicated infrastructure to manage."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is expensive compared to a similar product."
  • "Compared to other cloud environments like Amazon or Google, Azure Red Hat OpenShift is an expensive solution."
  • "I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • More Azure Red Hat OpenShift Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "IBM has a free tier and payment option depending on the products selected."
  • "You are allocated a minimum amount of resources in the free tier. This seems fair and highly scalable, as you pay per usage as per cloud pricing schemes."
  • "The pricing models should be reworked to the needs of a wider range of companies. Some customers will not be able to afford it until quite a few years into production, even after good PoC results and a successful launch."
