We performed a comparison between Cisco Container Platform and OpenShift Container Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."The most valuable feature is definitely the fact that you can use a single platform to deploy to different resource providers. Right now, the version I'm using has vSphere and AWS, but I know in the future they're planning on adding more. The ability to deploy clusters on-prem or to any number of public cloud providers is really valuable because you don't need to relearn or switch platforms to switch resource providers."
"The banking transactions, inquiries, and account opening have been the most valuable."
"Everything is packaged into OpenShift Container Platform."
"On OpenShift, it's easy to scale applications. We can easily scale up or scale down."
"I think it's a pretty scalable tool...The solution's technical support has been pretty good."
"Dashboards... give us all the details we need to see about the microservices."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"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."
"OpenShift provides tools that tell me everything I have on a container, and I can make it on-premise or on a cloud infrastructure."
"One thing that is a little bit annoying about Cisco Container Platform is that for each cluster you create you have to go through the same web form each time. If you're creating two identical clusters, you still have to go through that web form twice."
"It is difficult to deploy the OpenShift cluster in a bare-metal environment."
"The initial setup can be hard."
"There is room for improvement with integration."
"The product monitoring tool does not work for us."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges when transitioning applications between these environments."
"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."
"Getting the solution quickly and troubleshooting quickly are both areas where I think it needs some work."
