"A nice managed bespoke collection of best practices and tooling for K8S managed containers and vms"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Red Hat OpenShift?

If you don't have the time, skills, or desire to set up your own kubernetes/ hypervisor infrastructure ( on top of your actual product) OpenShift can provide a mostly lock in free solution for you. You do have to drink the Kool-Aid, but you don't have time to make your own Kool-Aid, so shut up and enjoy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Red Hat OpenShift?

Part of being bespoke is they have made decisions that help more tightly bind you to other products in their ecosystem. Of course there is an cost and myriad of Licensing complexity to extract the most revenue from you. That is the trade you make for not having to do a whole bunch of work yourself.

You will still need to be able to debug and understand all the components when things go wrong, or invest in other layers of support for that. This is just the toolset. This is like "Snap On", and your still the mechanic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
