We performed a comparison between OpenShift and Rackspace Cloud [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in PaaS Clouds."The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"This solution helps us to account for peak seasons involving higher demand than usual. It also gives us confidence in the security of our overall systems."
"I am impressed with the product's security features."
"OpenShift is based on Kubernetes and we try to use all the Kubernetes objects of OpenShift. We don't use features that are specific to OpenShift, except internal certificates for the services. The one feature that is missing from Kubernetes and that is really useful in OpenShift is the lifecycle of the cluster and the ease of installation. We use VMware and VMware integration internally with the OpenShift installer, which is very good. With OpenShift it's easy to spin up or scale out a cluster."
"Its interface is good. The other part is the seamless integration with the stack that I have. Because my stack is mostly of Red Hat, which is running on top of VMware virtualization, I have had no issues with integrating both of these and trying to install them. We had a seamless integration with the other non-Red Hat products as well."
"We have found the cluster management function to be very good with this product."
"The most valuable feature of OpenShift is the containers."
"The stability has been good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the support, which is really efficient."
"Image backup is a valuable feature. Even though this is a common feature, it is very helpful for us."
"There is easy integration with multiple providers and third-party services."
"The software-defined networking part of it caused us quite a bit of heartburn. We ran into a lot of problems with the difference between on-prem and cloud, where we had to make quite a number of modifications... They've since resolved it, so it's not really an issue anymore."
"There have been some issues with security, in particular, that we had to address. At times they make it “clunky." I am quite confident these parameters will appear in the next releases. They have been reported as bugs and are actually in process."
"The solution needs to support the new features in Kubernetes more quickly."
"The metrics in OpenShift can use improvement."
"One of the features that I've observed in Tanzu Mission Control is that I can manage multiple Kubernetes environments. For instance, one of my lines of business is using OpenShift OKD; another one wants to use Google Anthos, and somebody else wants to use VMware Tanzu. If I have to manage all these, Tanzu Mission Control is giving me the opportunity to completely manage all of my Kubernetes clusters, whereas, with OpenShift, I can only manage a particular area. I can't manage other Kubernetes clusters. I would like to have the option to manage all Kubernetes clusters with OpenShift."
"It could use auto-scaling based on criteria such as transaction volume, queue backlog, etc. Currently, it is limited to CPU and memory."
"OpenShift could be improved if it were more accessible for smaller budgets."
"The monitoring part could be better to monitor the performance."
"It doesn't offer Elastic IP like AWS. And also we can't configure our server based on region."
"It would be nice to have more built-in suites compared to others. It would enable easier integration."
