Effective cost management achieved with robust storage features but user experience and data management require improvements
HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is not user-friendly and has many parts that are more difficult than Cloudera. It is also a complex solution and has low features for data management. For example, it cannot make a data catalog or process data lineage without third-party support, which increases the cost for development.

Integrated pipelines have accelerated continuous deployment and improved incident response
The powerful thing about Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is for deploying how to install our application, how to deploy it, and it is easy to work with this platform to do DevOps or CI/CD. It is easy to do CI/CD with this platform and to add functionality in our application. We can add functionality in our application easily with this platform. We can go quickly from dev testing, integrating, and deploying quickly with this platform. The integrated CI/CD pipelines of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform have a time-saving impact on our development process. When we use the CI/CD functionality, the main saving is really important compared to combining many other tools to have the same result. In Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, you have everything integrated, but in other platforms, you have to set up many tools to have the same output. In Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, it is ready to set up, or almost set up; you only have to configure it. Time-saving is one of the important things.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of the HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is good, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."
"The banking transactions, inquiries, and account opening have been the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it has a lot to offer to developers, so they don't need to care about the infrastructure or basic setup of the containers, so you can just jump in and develop."
"OpenShift's core-based licensing model provides significant benefits regarding enterprise support and scalability."
"It's a good tool and a very comprehensive tool."
"The most valuable features of OpenShift include its advanced security, integrated DNS system, built-in pipeline management with Tekton, enhanced networking routes, and dedicated platforms for DataOps and MLOps."
"On OpenShift, it's easy to scale applications. We can easily scale up or scale down."
"If I summarize the main benefit of this solution for my customers, it is the management of both virtualized and containerized environments, where the containerization will be more focused in the future."
"Technical support is good; they are fast and reliable."
 

Cons

"If a customer is focused on process automation or API usage, I would not recommend this solution, but it is good to use for Data Science."
"HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is not user-friendly and has many parts that are more difficult than Cloudera. It is also a complex solution and has low features for data management."
"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."
"I believe OpenShift Container Platform can improve in networking, architecture, and cloud areas by reducing deployment time, lowering costs, and streamlining engineer resources"
"OpenShift has certain restrictions in terms of managing the cluster when it's running on a public cloud. For example, identity and access management integration with the IM of AWS is quite difficult. It requires some open-source tools to integrate. This is one area where I always see room for improvement."
"There should be a simplification of the overall cluster environment. It should require fewer resources. Just to run a simple Hello World app, it requires about seven servers, and that's just crazy. I understand that it is fully redundant, but it's prohibitively expensive to get something simple going."
"My impression is that this solution is pretty expensive so I think the pricing plan could improve."
"The product's interface is a bit buggy."
"Container Platform could be improved if we could aggregate logs out of the box instead of having to do it through integrations with other products."
"The price needs to be improved in OpenShift Container Platform. When I choose this, the product is the first factor that we have to make a long analysis to compare the real cost for the other services. However, price is high."
"The setup process is not great and could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten. There is a subscription called OpenShift Plus, which offers additional features and products the vendor provides to complement the OpenShift Container Platform. These include ACM, Red Hat Quay, and Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation."
"The product is expensive."
"The product pricing is competitive and structured around vCPU subscriptions, aligning with our application requirements."
"The pricing and licensing are handled on an upper management level, and I'm not involved in that, but I understand the solution to be somewhat pricey."
"If you buy the product for a year or three, you get a lot of discounts...I feel that the product is worth its cost, especially since setting it up can be done with just a few clicks."
"We paid for Cloud Pak for integration. It all depends on how many VMs or how many CPUs you are using. They do the licensing based on that."
"We have to pay for the license."
"Its licensing is completely incomprehensible. We have special people within our company. They discuss with Red Hat subscription managers. It is too complex, and I do not understand it. We are from the government, and we are trying to be as cheap as possible. Sometimes, I am just amazed at the amount of money that we have to pay. It is crazy."
