The Red Hat OpenShift is used to run microsservices responsible for integrating our systems around the world and our SAP. We currently have two instances of Red Hat OpenShift, one running in Azure (ARO) and another one running on premises to establish data transfer between our factories with MESS systems and SAP. We keep also B2B to manage services along the railroad that we use.
Pros

In our case we aim to deliver system integrations fast and continuously keeping the maximum quality and having a great track of each microsservice. With Red Hat OpenShift we're able to deliver and monitor end-to-end solutions without third-part software. Is valid also say that with the platform we're free to choose how to develop our software once we're not stuck in a proprietary product.
Used to host container workloads across the entire organization. Use cases vary from maintaining and monitoring hardware and virtual cloud resources to hosting web applications for end user business needs, as well as developing and testing new applications or prototyping. OpenShift provides a starting point as a platform for all end users in the organization.
Pros
Provides developer friendly features for on boarding
Keeps applications running and resilent
Also customers to build k8s native tooling for their applications
Cons
Easier onboarding to end users new to containers
Self describing or documenting deployments for those inheriting workloads
Providing some basic troubleshooting guidance for users
Surfacing vulnerability information to end users more easily
Likelihood to Recommend
Best used for centralized operations when governance and security are top of mind, and a large skill gap exists with end users or business owners that like to try things out (i.e when you need to provide a safe space for customers to prototype). Perhaps less suited for cases where customers just want to write and execute code that doesn’t require the full suite of kubernetes orchestration.
