ArtemiiKropachev - PeerSpot reviewer
A high-performing solution provides highly available, fully managed OpenShift clusters on demand and lot of automation that developers can utilize
Azure Red Hat OpenShift is very valuable because it is a complete application delivery platform with a lot of automation that developers can utilize. It's a complete solution without building your own on top of Kubernetes. As a consulting company, we implement Azure Red Hat OpenShift for our clients, who appreciate its integration capabilities for enhancing cloud operations. While we handle implementation, build processes, and automation, the operational responsibility lies with the customer. The service provides basic processes and support from Red Hat and Microsoft, which benefits clients by allowing them to focus on their business rather than regular operations like cluster upgrades.
Labhesh Hase - PeerSpot reviewer
Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS ( /products/amazon-aws-reviews ) Cloud, and they are also lower in cost. We use compute, storage, and network services. A notable feature is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's consistent global pricing, which is advantageous. Furthermore, applications using Oracle Database ( /products/oracle-database-reviews ) not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It supports AKS and other projects like Kubernetes or EKS."
"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."
"Flexibility, a very well-developed interface, and ease of learning are the most valuable features of Azure Red Hat OpenShift."
"Technical support from Red Hat is very good."
"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."
"As a consulting company, we implement Azure Red Hat OpenShift for our clients, who appreciate its integration capabilities for enhancing cloud operations. While we handle implementation, build processes, and automation, the operational responsibility lies with the customer. The service provides basic processes and support from Red Hat and Microsoft, which benefits clients by allowing them to focus on their business rather than regular operations like cluster upgrades."
"Red Hat is a very stable product with good integration with products such as Kubernetes, and it also offers migration tools."
"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."
"The product is scalable."
"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."
"The stability of the solution is very good...The technical support is good."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."
"Frankly speaking, I've been very impressed with the stability the solution offers. Everything is working very well at the moment, and we haven't had any issues or faced any bugs or glitches."
"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable."
 

Cons

"Technically, Azure Red Hat OpenShift is fine. However, its marketing could be improved, especially when compared to the robust marketing efforts of Azure, HPE, and Nutanix."
"The product is expensive."
"Automation could be improved."
"Regarding room for improvement, there's always room, but it's mainly about Azure itself rather than Azure Red Hat OpenShift. Azure is not as advanced as AWS in terms of supported services. AWS is the leader in this area. However, there's no need for service improvement in Azure Red Hat OpenShift as the service is excellent. I don't need additional features because I can customize it according to the customer's needs."
"They need to improve the core licensing model."
"One of the things to notice is that this product can be 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."
"I work with many clouds and I would say, in comparison, others have a better presentation of services and they have clearer steps in terms of implementation."
"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"Lacking in additional PaaS services."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."
"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."
"The solution does not follow a retention policy while taking ad hoc backups. Since it does not follow the retention policy, we had to do the manual task to check the backups."
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is expensive compared to a similar product."
"Azure Red Hat OpenShift is not a low-price solution; it's expensive. Pricing depends on the strategy and whether you buy it directly from Red Hat or the Azure portal. Additionally, some customers may need a complete disaster recovery solution, which requires additional licensing and software products for implementation, such as backups."
"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
"The product offers a subscription-based licensing model."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is free to use."
"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
