Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Reviews & Product Details

OpenShift is the PaaS platform provided by Red Hat, also in the open source version OKD, which is the one I use. It is very well designed and can be easily integrated with different applications of the cloud native ecosystems. It is based on kubernetes and docker (even though new container engines specifically tailored to kubernetes are being deployed), which are leader container orchestration and engine systems, respectively. It allows to easily manage containerized applications, thus one can easily deal with non functional requirements such as scalability, reliability and so on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like almost all of OpenShift, however I feel some of its features could be improved. For example, every resource is described through a YAML file, but the built-in editor could better support syntax checking and autocompletion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Openshit is a great tool for developers, in its platform, you can develop all kinds of applications, and host them on the same site, where after you can perform all kinds of tests with them, in a secure environment of execution, the number of applications can be developed and launched in this system are countless, you can create as many as you want, also has a large number of tools that can make the development process somewhat easier, depending on the features that are needed, this system has with multiple language support, which allows developing applications for foreign clients, in their own language, without the need to use other applications to translate the characteristics of them, the templates with which the application has can be somewhat limited, but many can Serve for a quick job.

Backup copies can take a long time, can take hours to restore after saving, which does not help much, when you need some information that has been compressed, since it takes time to have it available and not always, one has it, at the beginning, it was a little difficult for me some features of this system, it is developed for advanced users, new developers who are not familiar with this type of development applications in the cloud, vain to find it difficult.

In our company we use linux, so open source tools like this that allow us to develop our projects, are very effective. We mainly use Java and Pyhton, so this platform is perfect, since it accepts these two languages. In addition we also use Mysql for the database and this language is also found.

Just recently, Open Shift switches from basic JBoss Web Server with Apache Tomcat 8 to a more complex and secure project setup using https that requires certificate and key setup. Without any experience in TLS Termination and SSL certificates it may be difficult for someone who is new to deploying web applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i like the ease of use, flexibility, security and gui features like reviewing logs and accessing shell from console Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

complexity of setup and low level maintainence Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of uploading is definitely a huge plus. By creating an Openshift cluster on one VM you can locally create images and immediately have them accessible and scalable in a matching web-based UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Openshift clusters don't have clear logs upon failure and require going deep into the structure of your docker files without much clarity. Some better automated logging on the web interface would go a long way to improving the software as a whole. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Strong compliance with the base Kubernetes APIs which allowed us to get our own K8s-oriented Integration Platform (https://www.adroitlogic.com/products/ips/) working on OpenShift as well, with less hassle

Hassle-free, wizard-driven installation

Strong by-default security and permission model Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of documentation in certain aspects such as the relaxing of certain security enforcements

Necessity of a Red Hat Customer Portal account for installation

Unavailability of a reusable, offline installer

Reconfiguration (e.g. after changing the hostname of a node) seemed to be overly complicated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Openshift is a great effort to create a span platform supporting a lot of programming languages and integrate differents parts of DevOps processes, starting from the Operations Engeeniers, Developers and including too Security Teams.

It's powerful to builds a portables images layer by layer, allowing run updates from underlayer libraries and frameworks, and separated update source code application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The professional starging with OpenShift will need change the paradigm, the operations team wont should install a operations system by each new application, or the developers team with need learn to developers and builds application with cloud arquitecture, because, mailly OpenShift don't presists a lot the data, just essentials information outside openshift images, the images are readonly and currently a lot application need write data/configurations and so on, on disk to works.

Openshift has an intuitive easy-to-use web interface. It is free (for low use) and easy to deploy. It integrates with Git and a wide variety of tools, frameworks, and languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of storage accessibility for auto scaled gears. There needs to be more GUI based management. Reconfiguration after changing node host names was a bit arduous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very well developed software. Because of the open source community, you have a very solid product that is highly secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fast change of pace for features. It can be difficult to keep upgraded to the latest version and test for any issues for each release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are experimenting Openshift Origin, the upstream community project that powers OpenShift. We are also studing and monitoring the Red Hat versions.

OpenShift enable to rapidly build and deploy Docker containers and manage them on a robust, scalable platform.

The openshift origin version is good for demo and test, as well as we can count in a enterprise version provided by Red Hat.

What is more OpenShift is based on Kubernetes and Docker, that I think like "standard de facto" in managing and orchestrating container. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Openshift require a lot of resource and some constrains in hardware and software requirementes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the different Applications that they support and options that you can config for each one.

It is a quick and easy way to turn on an application for either a quick demo, testing or just a proof of concept with having to go thru all the red tape of getting permission from someone in it.

The interface looks really nice and is simple to navigate thru Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They do not have a asp.net solution or Microsoft SQL Express.

I think there are not many issues I can count which i dislike.

It can be complexity to build and scale custom apps, though OpenShift is not for plain users but for developers and professionals.

Sometimes hard to build a new application with experimental features, I need to build a new cartridge for that application first and I need to keep all manifest and config requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far! Some members of my team were apprehensive about switching to a Red Hat based environment but all has worked out well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to spin up a new instance preloaded with the applications I want. The interface is simple enough for a beginner to get started, without having to read documentation on how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not exactly dislike. But the thing I least like are the restrictions on MySQL database cartridge which shuts down after 8 hours of inactivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The service ready like such as document , library and special free to test app, You just to edit code then push to OpenShift, that is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not for now, but may be we need support more extension php, although we can install it but I want have UX to click install Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
