Integrated cloud platform has streamlined app delivery and supported certified marketplace products

A potential area for improvement for Azure Red Hat OpenShift is to see managed identity support and ensure that some of the security features are not conflicting with Azure or Azure product features. I am sure in the future it will be more templatized so that we need not depend on Azure security features. Azure Red Hat OpenShift should be independent of Azure security features with respect to container scan and all that. Why would it use an Azure security feature? That is what I find. It is still yet to be GA and commonly available, but that is a strong reason for improvement.

Hybrid cloud has supported payment services and provides reliable networked virtual machines

There are no restrictions about usage of these virtual machines because Linux machines are used, and everything needed is installed on our own responsibility, as all applications are developed by vendors who produce them for us. This is why there are no restrictions felt in usage of cloud services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers good services, though the price could be lower than it currently is. AI and machine learning features of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) have not been used in production, as research is being conducted in this area. Services provided to customers are very well tested, and untested services are not offered to customers. Currently, research is being conducted on the usage of AI offerings through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or other vendors of AI tools.

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."

"Red Hat is a very stable product with good integration with products such as Kubernetes, and it also offers migration tools."

"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."

"The most valuable features of the solution are accessibility and scalability."

"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."

More Azure Red Hat OpenShift pros

"The tool is a leader in cloud technology and it is very professional."

"The most valuable features are the manageability and the user interface."

"Overall, I would rate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as nine out of 10."

"In terms of features, upgradeability to the latest version of Oracle suites has been a good feature. All we have to do is just patching or an upgrade, it's pretty easy. Then, it gets regularly updated. That's what I like about it."

"Our use case is for a variety of purposes; we use it for our billing system, our operations support system, our analytic data warehousing, digitalization, customer service, marketing, and sales, so it is integral to our operations."

"What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing."

Cons

"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."

"One of the things to notice is that this product can be expensive."

"The product is expensive."

"They need to improve the core licensing model."

"Automation could be improved."

"Azure Red Hat OpenShift's support should be improved."

"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."

"I would rate the technical support from Microsoft as six."

More Azure Red Hat OpenShift cons

"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."

"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."

"Oracle Cloud could be improved with better third-party integrations."

"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."

"The solution is expensive"

"I rate Oracle Cloud seven out of 10. I say seven because I don't have much experience with Oracle Cloud."

"There's one app I have to install on my device, the Articulate Player app. It's only available on Apple and Android, but it's not available for Windows. I can't run the program on my desktop, to use it to learn Java."

"The solution's technical support services are more expensive than AWS. Also, they should expand the team to address day-to-day issues."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive compared to a similar product."

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Compared to other cloud environments like Amazon or Google, Azure Red Hat OpenShift is an expensive solution."

"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."

"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."

"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."

"On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform."

"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."

"The solution's cost could be better."

"The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."

"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."

"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
