"Streamlines Deployment but Complexity and Cost Persist"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Red Hat OpenShift?

I appreciate Red Hat OpenShift for its ability to streamline developer workflows in application development and modernization. Its unified enterprise-grade Kubernetes platform simplifies complexity, automates manual tasks, and ensures consistency across deployments. I love its consistent and automated environment which allows developers to build and deploy applications effortlessly across various platforms. The initial setup is highly automated, requiring minimal user input beyond configuration, which the cloud provider and Red Hat manage effectively. This automation simplifies the process significantly, allowing for a quick and efficient deployment through the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Red Hat OpenShift?

I find Red Hat OpenShift to be quite complex, particularly when managing configurations for security settings, networking, and storage across multiple clusters and environments. This complexity can make the initial setup challenging and often requires a significant investment in training and support. Additionally, the cost associated with using Red Hat OpenShift is a concern, given the resource demands it imposes. Furthermore, there are certain integration issues which can complicate its use with other tools or systems, affecting the overall seamlessness we aim for in our workflows.
