We performed a comparison between Rancher Labs and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 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."The most valuable feature of Rancher Labs is its user interface, which makes it easier to work with containers and deployment."
"The solution is stable."
"Rancher Labs is a very user-friendly tool."
"The tool's UI is very convenient enough to help you manage multiple clusters in the cloud or the company, making it a product with which you can manage different clusters and locations."
"The product is simple to use for a beginner."
"The scalability potential is very good."
"A great UI with very good integrations."
"The customized deployment process is the most valuable feature in Rancher Labs."
"They have built on top of Kubernetes. Most of the Kubernetes latest technology is already supported by the solution."
"Autoscaling is an excellent feature that makes it very simple to scale our applications as required."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is its scalability on demand, which allows for potentially lower costs, and Built-in resiliency."
"I think it's a pretty scalable tool...The solution's technical support has been pretty good."
"The architecture is the best. The solution is scalable if you are on a container-based solution."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and logging functionalities."
"The solution's security throughout the stack and the software supply chain is very reliable. When it was on-prem, it was by default secured by our company firewalls and security tools, and now it's in the cloud, which has its security and systems in place. This provides stability to our infrastructure."
"We're looking for something that is even easier to use. It's a bit complicated."
"If you have poor infrastructure, you will have issues with the tool."
"I can't migrate to the newer version."
"There needs to be an improvement in observability and microservice monitoring tools in Rancher Labs."
"Could be more intuitive."
"One area for improvement in Rancher Labs is the development aspect."
"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."
"It can take 10 to 15 minutes to deploy a microservice. The CI/CD process takes a long time, and if it's because of OCP, that is something that can be changed."
"The stability needs improvement."
"With the recent trend of cloud-native, fully managed serverless services, I don't see much documentation about how a customer should move from on-prem to the cloud, or what is the best way to do a lift-and-shift. Even if you are on AWS OCP, which is self-managed infra services, and you want to use the ROSA managed services, what is the best way to achieve that migration? I don't see documentation for these kinds of use cases from Red Hat."
"It is difficult to deploy the OpenShift cluster in a bare-metal environment."
"OpenShift Container Platform could improve by having better integration."
"Setting up OpenShift isn't easy. I rate it three out of ten for ease of setup. We're deploying it in three phases. They're in the second phase now. The total deployment time will be five months. We expect to complete the deployment this March. There are 13 people on three teams working on this deployment."
"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."
"Container Platform could be improved if we could aggregate logs out of the box instead of having to do it through integrations with other products."
