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."More tools are available in OpenShift Container Platform to maintain and manage the clusters."
"Openshift is a very developer-friendly product."
"The platform is easy to scale as it supports Windows worker node."
"The operating system has a live update and is more secure than any other. It's made for Atomic OS, a lightweight OS new to the market. I also like the source-to-image capabilities. The customer can directly deploy their applications from the repository. It's a highly flexible and easy way to deploy into production."
"The auto scalability feature, which is based on smart agendas, determined from pre-prepared rules is the most valuable feature. You can also create different routes for deployment. Deployment types can be provided with an identifier, such as an ARB deployment. This really helped in rolling out releases without disrupting services for the end-users."
"It is very lightweight and can be deployed very fast, especially when it comes to containers."
"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."
"On OpenShift, it's easy to scale applications. We can easily scale up or scale down."
"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 most valuable feature is its comprehensive support, easy resource scaling, compatibility with various OEMs, and seamless service integration."
"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 of Rancher Labs is its user interface, which makes it easier to work with containers and deployment."
"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 solution is stable."
"The product is simple to use for a beginner."
"My impression is that this solution is pretty expensive so I think the pricing plan could improve."
"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."
"One area for improvement is that we can't currently run Docker inside a container, as it clashes with security consents. It would be good if we could change that."
"We've encountered challenges when transitioning applications between these environments."
"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."
"The monitoring and logging could be improved."
"The initial setup can be hard."
"The complexity of the installation could be reduced. While we got the necessary support, the instructions could be clearer."
"We're looking for something that is even easier to use. It's a bit complicated."
"One area for improvement in Rancher Labs is the development aspect."
"The biggest room for improvement in Rancher Labs would be to have a proper upgrading plan."
"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."
"They should improve application visibility along with code visibility."
"There needs to be an improvement in observability and microservice monitoring tools in Rancher Labs."
"Could be more intuitive."
"I can't migrate to the newer version."
