Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (self-managed)

Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift

We use RH OpenShift to reduce our stores' overall hardware count and save on costs. The business problem is that it's becoming too costly to maintain our physical hardware at 280+ stores, and we know that we can move all of our core services onto OpenShift clusters and reduce the physical hardware count at our stores.

Pros

  • Containerizing our services.
  • High-availability and scalability.
  • Being a cost-effective solution.

Cons

  • More reliable upgrade path (in terms of security).
  • Reduced spending on maintenance of servers at stores.
During our peak season (holiday season October-January), when our loads on high-traffic weekends were up significantly, OpenShift reliably held its ground and adjusted to the spikes perfectly. We saw no disturbances or slowdowns in any of the applications, and our customers were able to buy what they needed during their holiday shopping with no disruptions.

Do you think Red Hat OpenShift delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Red Hat OpenShift's feature set?

Yes

Did Red Hat OpenShift live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Red Hat OpenShift go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Red Hat OpenShift again?

Yes

If you are going to start using Kubernetes or thinking of moving to Kubernetes from a pre-existing solution, you might as well go with OpenShift. You will end up spending less time and money getting your OpenShift solution set up and running compared to doing so with plain Kubernetes. It has been a game-changer for my company, and we will continue to work on OpenShift for the foreseeable future.
