"Open JDK - best JDK to work in Enterprise level"

Some of the OpenJDK issues are still pending. If some issues are resolved in the latest version, the old version still has that issue. If you have fixes available for all versions, that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"openshift make tasks easier and flexible"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Red Hat Runtimes?

It's a containerized application which runs on Kubernetes. We can use it as a SaaS and PaaS. The best thing about OpenShift is the operators, which make things easier for developers and for the OpenShift administrator, providing flexibility to install the applications required for the development journey. Another great feature is the UI interface. Additionally, its scalability feature, which supports horizontal and vertical scalability, makes it a good option in the cloud platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Red Hat Runtimes?

It's a complex solution, so if we get stuck in any task, its debugging is quite hectic. Furthermore, its community and documentation are not so well developed, so it takes a lot of time to debug an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great alternative to the traditional JDK"
3/5
What do you like best about Red Hat Runtimes?

Pretty light weight component/shell to move around. Especially while dealing with multiple code integrations. Though few Oracle Java features are missing, Openjdk would still stand a choice to replace many production applications that we still employ. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Red Hat Runtimes?

Missing a lot of genuine advantage features that you would expect from a commercial version. Bug identification and requires a proactive approach, also lack of libraries to aid modern practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
