Pros
"Portainer comes with the ability to take the information of docker definition. Using it, I can visually observe how the container has been created. It allows me to create networks. I can also visually generate volumes and working stacks."

More Portainer Pros →

"The platform is easy to scale as it supports Windows worker node.""OpenShift is a user-friendly container platform with a solid GUI that helps you follow what is going on and gives you an overview of all your clusters. It's more user-friendly than the Kubernetes itself. The interface helps you learn the platform and provides access to some features or specific comments.""The software is user-friendly and straightforward to use, which is favorable to a developer.""Openshift is a very developer-friendly product.""It’s user-friendly.""On OpenShift, it's easy to scale applications. We can easily scale up or scale down.""The most valuable feature of this solution is its scalability on demand, which allows for potentially lower costs, and Built-in resiliency.""The banking transactions, inquiries, and account opening have been the most valuable."

Cons
"Portainer needs to be more intuitive."

More Portainer Cons →

"The support costs are too high.""We encounter difficulties while accessing the environment and managing the cluster. This particular area needs improvement.""The initial setup can be hard.""My impression is that this solution is pretty expensive so I think the pricing plan could improve.""OpenShift Container Platform is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved.""We've encountered challenges when transitioning applications between these environments.""There should be a simplification of the overall cluster environment. It should require fewer resources. Just to run a simple Hello World app, it requires about seven servers, and that's just crazy. I understand that it is fully redundant, but it's prohibitively expensive to get something simple going.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "OpenShift with Red Hat support is pretty costly. We have done a comparison between AWS EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Services) which provides fully managed services from AWS. It's built on open-source-based Kubernetes clusters and it is much cheaper compared to Red Hat, but it is a little expensive compared to ECS provided by AWS."
  • "It depends on who you're talking to. For a large corporation, it is acceptable, other than the significant infrastructure requirements. For a small organization, it is in no way suitable, and we'd go for Amazon's container solution."
  • "The license to use the OpenShift Container Platform is free. If you are capable with Java you can modify it."
  • "The price is slightly on the higher side. It is something that can be worked on because most of the businesses now have margins."
  • "The pricing is a bit more expensive than expected."
  • "We paid for Cloud Pak for integration. It all depends on how many VMs or how many CPUs you are using. They do the licensing based on that."
  • "We currently have an annual license renewal."
  • "It largely depends on how much money they earn from the application being deployed; you don't normally deploy an app just for the purpose of having it. You must constantly look into your revenue and how much you spend every container, minute, or hour of how much it is working."
