User-friendly code development solution needing enhancements addressing glitches
There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors. We're in the process of continuously fixing to address these issues, and once resolved, the application will be ready. I've worked on this internal system application, and I'll give you an example of our specific challenge. There was an issue involving a complex query where data was stored and retrieved from the database. The application also had a reporting component that wasn't generating reports or collecting the required information for Excel reports. To address this, I made changes to the query. I focused on the data format issue encountered in the implementation class. However, when implementing these changes under a specific thread, the application server showed an exception. I also made adjustments to resolve the issue.

Used for runtime or application migration, transitioning from classic application servers
There are some features regarding English and communication. This refers to external communication points to and from the OpenShift cluster. However, there are limitations due to the cluster's setup. There are configuration problem, but we managed to find a workaround. Now, we're waiting for Red Hat to address it as a patch. In the meantime, we're using the workaround and are somewhat satisfied. Dealing with just one issue was unexpected, but it did take longer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's technical support is good."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"The framework supports auto-configuration. A lot of features are already there. It is reliable and user-friendly to develop code, back-end engineering, or locate specific information such as addresses."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"We have found the cluster management function to be very good with this product."
"The developers seem to like the source-to-image feature. That makes it easy for them to deploy an application from code into containers, so they don't have to think about things. They take it straight from their code into a containerized application. If you don't have OpenShift, you have to build the container and then deploy the container to, say, EKS or something like that."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"The initial setup is simple, and OpenShift is open-source, so it's easy to install on any cloud platform."
"The security is good."
"This solution helps us to account for peak seasons involving higher demand than usual. It also gives us confidence in the security of our overall systems."
"OpenShift offers robust tools for monitoring application traffic, allowing us to analyze client requests and other business-related metrics."
"We are able to operate client’s platform without downtime during security patch management each month and provide a good SLA (as scalability for applications is processed during heavy client website load, automatically)."
 

Cons

"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"OpenShift could improve by providing the ability to integrate with public cloud platforms. This way we can easily use the services that these platforms offer. For instance, Amazon AWS. However, all the three major hyper-scalers solutions offer excellent DevOps and CI/CD tooling. If there was an easy way to integrate with them it would be beneficial. We need a way to easily integrate with the monitoring and dashboard services that they provide."
"Not a ten because it's not a standard solution and the endpoint protection user has to prepare with documentation or have training from other people. It's not easy to start because it's not like other solutions."
"There are challenges related to additional security layers, connectivity compliance for endpoints, and integration."
"This is a fairly expensive solution."
"I want easier node management and more user-friendly scripts for installing master and worker nodes."
"The metrics in OpenShift can use improvement."
"The speed of deploying new applications can be improved."
"Its virtual upgrades are time-consuming."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"It is somewhat expensive."
"We had a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) license for all our servers' operating systems. By having multiple Red Hat products together, you can negotiate costs and leverage on having a sort of enterprise license agreement to reduce the overall outlay or TCO."
"It's expensive. It may be cheaper to invest in building Vanilla Kubernetes, especially if security is not the number one motivation or requirement. Of course, that's difficult, and in some business areas, such as banking, that's not something you can put as a second priority. In other situations, a Vanilla Kubernetes with a sufficiently strong team can be cheaper and almost as effective."
"My company makes payments towards the licensing costs attached to OpenShift."
"Depending on the extent of the product use, licenses are available for a range of time periods, and are renewable at the end of the period."
"The product's support is expensive. I would rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"OpenShift is really good when we need to start, but once we get to a certain scale, it becomes too expensive."
"Pricing of OpenShift depends on the number of nodes and who is hosting it."
"The solution is cost-effective."
