Featured Reviews

John Sanborn - PeerSpot reviewer
Runs on every platform; makes it easy to adapt to Kubernetes
One of the things to notice is that this product can be expensive. Another thing is that OpenShift has its own CLI, it has features in it that you don't have under normal Kubernetes. So if you're just a plain Kubernetes developer, you either don't know about these other features and you don't take advantage of them so you're basically treating it like a normal Kubernetes or there's a slight learning curve as you start to learn how the new CLIs work, the other options that are not available in Kubernetes. There is a learning curve; it's not high, but it's still there. That's another negative against OpenShift. If you're purchasing OpenShift on their OpenShift container platform, you will have to manage the master nodes. If you are using Kubernetes in AWS, Google, and Azure, you don't manage master nodes. It's not really a big deal. It's all part of the patching in OpenShift. People will start to say, "Well, I don't want to manage the masters." But I think if they actually see the process of patching an OpenShift, they would say, "Okay, it's not even worth arguing because it's so simple." Alternatively, the main three cloud vendors can provide OpenShift as a service.
Mehdi Hasankhan - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-install tool with good technical support that offers features like map searching and risk management services
The initial setup of Oracle Developer Cloud Service was really easy since it can be done with the request in the cloud, and after that, you can use it directly. I read the initial setup a ten, on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution is deployed on a public cloud. The deployment process took around a year.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Red Hat is a very stable product with good integration with products such as Kubernetes, and it also offers migration tools."
"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's support and its automation tool that ensures we are secure and appropriately configured are the most valuable features of Azure Red Hat OpenShift."
"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."
"Technical support from Red Hat is very good."
"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."
"With the multi-tenant architecture, you can migrate many databases to one instance. This saves a lot of money and administrative work."
"The solution's technical support is really good."
"The APEX solution is the most interesting part of the Oracle Developer Service. APEX is the most cost-effective and most popular service for developers. Kubernetes and Docker services are also important and very much cost-effective, and helpful for developers. If we compare Oracle to other cloud services providers, they'll also be cost-effective. The financial involvement is also a good point because other cloud services charge for Docker and Kubernetes solutions. Oracle's offering is almost free. They only charge for the VM or virtual machine. This is also an interesting part for the developers as well."
 

Cons

"They need to improve the core licensing model."
"One of the things to notice is that this product can be expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Azure Red Hat OpenShift's support should be improved."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"Automation could be improved."
"Improvements are needed in terms of the usage of the map chart and risk management services."
"t would be better if the open-source databases were managed. Some managed services for open-source databases are available in other cloud solutions, but Oracle doesn't have any. They should provision more managed services for open-source databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL. These types of managed database services should be available in Oracle Cloud Service and others. There are other technical issues like the CDN network that is not directly configured to Oracle and needs support from a third party. There are also some services available in AWS and Azure that should be included in Oracle Cloud Service."
"Sometimes, I lose the cursor in the editor, and it disappears for no reason. It's hard to guess where I'm in the text, and I feel a bit lost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"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 pricing two on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Oracle Developer Cloud Service isn't an expensive product. It's definitely cheaper than any other enterprise cloud solution."
