"They have built on top of Kubernetes. Most of the Kubernetes latest technology is already supported by the solution."
"I think it's a pretty scalable tool...The solution's technical support has been pretty good."
"Some of the primary features we leverage in the platform have to do with how we manage the cluster configurations, the properties, and the auto-scalability. These are the features that definitely provide value in terms of reducing overhead for the developers."
"The tool's most valuable features include high availability, scalability, and security. Other features like advanced cluster management, advanced cluster security, and Red Hat Quay make it powerful for businesses. It also comes with features like OpenShift Virtualization."

"The platform is easy to scale as it supports Windows worker node."
"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."
"While Rancher Labs provides some level of security, it's not considered very robust."
"We're looking for something that is even easier to use. It's a bit complicated."
"They should improve application visibility along with code visibility."
"I can't migrate to the newer version."
"If you have poor infrastructure, you will have issues with the tool."
"The biggest room for improvement in Rancher Labs would be to have a proper upgrading plan."
"We'd like their monitoring tool to be integrated by default."
"The solution does not work on a route-wise NFS."
"The setup process is not great."
"We encounter difficulties while accessing the environment and managing the cluster. This particular area needs improvement."
"In my experience, the issues are not always simply technical. They do stem from technical challenges, but they struggle with the topic of adoption. When you encounter all of the customer pull, there are normally several tiers of your client pop that can adopt either the fundamental features or a little more advanced ones. The majority of the time, the challenge is determining how to drive adoption, how to sell the product to the customer, and how much time they can spend to really utilize those advanced features. If we get into much more detail, but this is from my perspective as the platform engineer and not the end customer, the ability of the end user to be able to debug potential issues with their application That is arguably the most important, let's say, work throughput in my area."
"The initial setup can be hard."
"Things are there and the documentation is there, however, there still needs to be quick guides available."
"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."
"Whenever we onboard or deploy services that talk to Oracle Database, they take a lot of time to become active and serve the incoming request, so it would be good to see some improvement here. This could be an OpenShift issue or an internal network problem within our organization."
