We performed a comparison between OpenShift Container Platform and Rancher Labs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Dashboards... give us all the details we need to see about the microservices."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its scalability on demand, which allows for potentially lower costs, and Built-in resiliency."
"It is very lightweight and can be deployed very fast, especially when it comes to containers."
"Centralized control of container resources is most valuable."
"It’s user-friendly."
"On OpenShift, it's easy to scale applications. We can easily scale up or scale down."
"Red Hat's security throughout the stack and software supply chain is good. It is a lightweight operating system. You don't have to worry about the security patches on the system. You can update the entire environment with security patches, which is a nice feature."
"The platform is easy to scale as it supports Windows worker node."
"The solution has a lot of good features, such as you can access the console and edit through the GUI. The dashboard and the UI are designed well, user-friendly, and easy to manage, and access."
"The most valuable feature of Rancher Labs is its user interface, which makes it easier to work with containers and deployment."
"Rancher Labs is a very user-friendly tool."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is an open-source solution that is easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is its comprehensive support, easy resource scaling, compatibility with various OEMs, and seamless service integration."
"This solution is not vendor-locked, which means that we we are able to use it across all of our resources; this feature is of great value to us."
"The solution is stable."
"A great UI with very good integrations."
"The solution does not work on a route-wise NFS."
"It has an option to install OpenShift without connecting it to the Internet. We tried this, but it was very hard. We couldn't manage to use that option. We wanted to use it offline for installations, updates, upgrades, etc., but we didn't find the offline installation and updates easy. This could be better."
"Things are there and the documentation is there, however, there still needs to be quick guides available."
"OpenShift has certain restrictions in terms of managing the cluster when it's running on a public cloud. For example, identity and access management integration with the IM of AWS is quite difficult. It requires some open-source tools to integrate. This is one area where I always see room for improvement."
"The setup process is not great."
"OpenShift has a pretty steep learning curve. It's not an easy tool to use. It's not only OpenShift but Kubernetes itself. The good thing is that Red Hat provides specific targeted training. There are five or six pieces of training where you can get certifications. The licenses for OpenShift are pretty expensive, so they could be cheaper because the competition isn't sleeping, and Red Hat must take that into account."
"OpenShift Container Platform needs to work on integrations."
"Another thing that bugs me is that they removed the software in NFS storage. I don't understand why because this is a common type of storage. I am having problems with that, so I wish they would put it back."
"They should improve application visibility along with code visibility."
"I can't migrate to the newer version."
"We'd like their monitoring tool to be integrated by default."
"We have found that the auto-secure feature of this solution doesn't always work, and could be improved to be more reliable, particularly when working with business critical applications."
"We're looking for something that is even easier to use. It's a bit complicated."
"There needs to be an improvement in observability and microservice monitoring tools in Rancher Labs."
"One area for improvement in Rancher Labs is the development aspect."
"Could be more intuitive."
