Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Reviews

I am impressed with the tool's visibility. 

The tool's command line and configuration are hard for us to understand and make deployment complex. It should also include zero trust, access control features and database connectivity. 

I have been working with the product for three months. 

The solution is stable. 

My client's company has around five to six users for the product. 

The solution's tech support is good enough for my customer. 

Positive

The product's setup is complex. It took around three to four weeks to complete the deployment. 

Our partner did the deployment. 

I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

We have implemented the solution to address the recent security issue in the Openshift Kubernetes cluster.

Stability is the most valuable feature.

The solution lacks features when compared to some of the competitors such as Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks and has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for 15 years.

I give the stability a nine out of ten.

I give the scalability an eight out of ten.

The technical support is good.

Positive

I give the initial setup a seven out of ten. The deployment time depends on the customer's requirements. Financial institutions take some time. The installation takes a few hours but the configuration takes days to weeks.

The deployments require one engineer and one architect.

We implement the solution for our customers.

Red Hat offers two pricing options for their solution: a separate price, and a bundled price under the OpenShift Platform Plus. The bundle price includes five products and is more affordable. I give the price an eight out of ten. The licensing options are annual and 36-month terms.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

One person is required for the maintenance.

We serve customers of small, medium, and enterprise sizes. The majority of our customer base comprises enterprises.

I would suggest using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes for organizations that utilize OpenShift since both solutions are supported by the same vendor.

We use the solution to move workloads from monolithic applications to containers.

The solution is easy to install, manage and use.

The solution's price could be lower.

We have been using the solution for almost one year.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution.

The solution's technical support is good.

The solution's initial setup process is easy. It takes ten minutes to complete and requires only one executive to deploy and maintain it.

We purchase a yearly basis license for the solution.

I recommend the solution to others and rate it an eight out of ten.

For use cases, the segmentation use case is the most requested by our customers. Also, monitoring the container's behavior is one of the aspects customers request when it comes to segmentation. The other use case would be monitoring and detecting any abnormal behavior.

Segmentation is the most powerful feature.

The testing process could be improved; it would be great.

I have been using this solution for two years. Usually, when we implement it, we count on the latest version because of the patching and updates.

I would rate stability a nine out of ten.

It is a scalable solution because my clients are mainly enterprise businesses. I would rate scalability a nine out of ten.

The customer support is good.

Positive

The initial setup is moderate. It's about a seven out of ten where one is difficult, and ten is easy. It's pretty straightforward.

The deployment process depends on the environment and the scope of the implementation itself. Sometimes it takes a few days, from a month to two weeks, and sometimes several months. It depends on the deployment, the use case, the requested use cases, and the nature of the environment itself.

Maybe three to five people are needed for the deployment. The maintenance team usually represents fifty percent of the implementation team. So, for instance, if we have six people for implementation, we would need three people for customer support.

The pricing model is moderate, meaning it is not very expensive. I would rate it a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one represents cheap and ten represents very expensive. Additionally, it operates on a subscription-based model.

I would highly recommend it to our customers. Red Hat OpenShift is one of the most promising platforms and has a lot of installed briefs. Considering the security controls and features of this solution, it is mandatory nowadays. It comes highly recommended and is supported by our technical solutions.

Overall, it is an eight out of ten because it covers all the security features, and is reliable and scalable. Also, it is cost-efficient. However, some features are still not ready yet. In this case, you need to add some complementary solutions to provide the full picture of the security controls. On a scale of one to ten, if ten security controls are required to be covered, then Red Hat can provide six or seven out of ten. The remaining three to four out of ten are out of scope or not covered yet by the platform itself. So, it's necessary to consider some security controls out of the box, such as vulnerability scanner, static code analysis, dynamic code analysis, etc., to ensure that this platform can provide security controls across these containers.
