We performed a comparison between Amazon Elastic Container Service 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."Performance is our top priority. So, if we need to deploy on a high-specification machine, we can choose it from the software. If we just need a low-specification one, we can just choose it based on the requirement handling software configuration."
"Good documentation and very straightforward to implement and use."
"Scalability and availability are the most valuable features of Amazon Elastic Container Service."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its scalability."
"Overall, it is a user-friendly and efficient tool for managing containers."
"I like the tool's availability and automated scalability. I need to define the port numbers, and when I have a large load of requests, I can get automated scalability."
"We use the product for website and email database hosting."
"It's quick and easy to have the solution working."
"It is very lightweight and can be deployed very fast, especially when it comes to containers."
"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 usability and the developer experience. The platform has a centralized consultant that is easy to use for our development, operations and security teams."
"Technical support is good; they are fast and reliable."
"The platform is easy to scale as it supports Windows worker node."
"It’s user-friendly."
"On OpenShift, it's easy to scale applications. We can easily scale up or scale down."
"Openshift is a very developer-friendly product."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service needs to improve the menu design. It needs to improve deployment with better documentation."
"The solution is expensive compared to other alternatives like Azure."
"While it is generally stable, there have been some issues, especially when working on client projects where troubleshooting was needed."
"EC2 is not self-explanatory enough."
"The solution needs to be more usable."
"Since it is a managed service for container orchestration, it may limit our control over certain infrastructure functions."
"I also believe there are limitations in terms of upgrading. The software has the concept of dedicated servers that you can manage. However, an issue arises when you can't match one operating system with another that you've already purchased. You can't simply merge them; instead, you have to buy a completely new one. This limitation has caused some challenges for us."
"The solution must improve backup and compatibility around OS like Windows and Mac."
"We've encountered challenges when transitioning applications between these environments."
"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."
"My impression is that this solution is pretty expensive so I think the pricing plan could improve."
"The setup process is not great."
"The complexity of the installation could be reduced. While we got the necessary support, the instructions could be clearer."
"From a networking perspective, the routing capability can be matured further. OpenShift doesn't handle restrictions on what kind of IPs are allowed, who can access them, and who cannot access them. So it is a simple matter of just using it with adequate network access, at the network level."
"The stability needs improvement."
"OpenShift Container Platform is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
