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."
"It has a feature to automatically scale up or scale down. If my application is running in peak hours, it will automatically increase."
"The most valuable features of the solution are accessibility and scalability."
"It supports AKS and other projects like Kubernetes or EKS."
"I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten."
"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 is easy to scale."
"The scalability of OpenShift combined with Kubernetes is good. At least from the software standpoint, it becomes quite easy to handle the scalability through configuration. You need to constantly monitor the underlying infrastructure and ensure that it has adequate provisioning. If you have enough infrastructure, then managing the scalability is quite easy which is done through configuration."
"Overall, the solution's security throughout the stack and software supply chain is excellent."
"The product's initial setup is very easy, especially compared to AWS."
"The most valuable feature is the auto scalers for all microservices. The feature allows us to place request limits and it is much cheaper than AWS."
"What I like best about OpenShift is that it can reduce some of the costs of having multiple applications because you can just move them into small container applications. For example, applications don't need to run for twenty days, only to be used up by Monday. Through OpenShift, you can move some of the small applications into any cloud. I also find the design of OpenShift good."
"The most valuable feature of OpenShift is the security context constraint (SCC). The solution’s security throughout the stack is good. And security context constraints provide port-level security. It's a granular level of control, where you can give privileges to certain users to work on certain applications."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"Automation could be improved."
"The product is expensive."
"Azure Red Hat OpenShift's support should be improved."
"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."
"One of the things to notice is that this product can be expensive."
"They need to improve the core licensing model."
"If we can have a GUI-based configuration with better flexibility then it will be great."
"I think that OpenShift has too many commands for running services from the CLI, and the configuration files are a little complicated."
"The product’s integration with Windows containers and other third-party products needs improvement."
"The interface could be simplified a bit more."
"The solution only offers support for one server."
"OpenShift could be improved if it were more accessible for smaller budgets."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"Needs work on volume handling (although this is already better with GlusterFS). Security (SSSD) would also be an improvement."
