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."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 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."
"It has a feature to automatically scale up or scale down. If my application is running in peak hours, it will automatically increase."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the great customer service and the ability for our team to get assistance when we need it."
"I like OCP, and the management UI is better than the open-source ones."
"Great integration with Jenkins for constant integration and development. Supports all the major languages and environments - PHP, Java, Node.js, Ruby, etc."
"Self-provisioning support saves a lot of time and unnecessary work from the system administrator who can use this time to run and monitor the infrastructure. For the developer, this means less time waiting for the provisioning and excellent flexibility for development, testing, and production. Also, in such systems it is easy for developers to monitor applications even after deployment."
"Its interface is good. The other part is the seamless integration with the stack that I have. Because my stack is mostly of Red Hat, which is running on top of VMware virtualization, I have had no issues with integrating both of these and trying to install them. We had a seamless integration with the other non-Red Hat products as well."
"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."
"I am impressed with the product's security features."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"The product is expensive."
"They need to improve the core licensing model."
"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."
"Automation could be improved."
"One of the things to notice is that this product can be expensive."
"Needs work on volume handling (although this is already better with GlusterFS). Security (SSSD) would also be an improvement."
"There is no orchestration platform in OpenShift."
"The tool lacks some features to make it compliant with Kubernetes"
"There are challenges related to additional security layers, connectivity compliance for endpoints, and integration."
"The monitoring part could be better to monitor the performance."
"The software-defined networking part of it caused us quite a bit of heartburn. We ran into a lot of problems with the difference between on-prem and cloud, where we had to make quite a number of modifications... They've since resolved it, so it's not really an issue anymore."
"Its virtual upgrades are time-consuming."
"If we can have a GUI-based configuration with better flexibility then it will be great."
