Openshift Review
- We never faced any major outage with the OpenShift platform. It's been running fine except for our network timeouts. That's it for this. It's not about, the pods themselves are running fine, but identifying this kind of issue hasn't been easy, but it didn't have any real business impact. It is just about other sre just to better serve our client and improve the platform's reliability.
February 26, 2024
Open shift container platform (self managed) Review
- Definitely positive because it is much more user-friendly than the competition, so we can get things done a lot faster.
February 26, 2024
Red Hat OpenShift Review
- It's had a very positive impact in that It's giving us a very good working example of what we can do as far as modernization is concerned. So whether they're talking about modernizing apps or modernizing workflows, processes, modernizing the way we monitor our systems or capture metrics, now that we have OpenShift and it's actually working, it's up and running, it's a live platform, we can actually show it. We can actually produce the data, produce the metrics, produce the dashboards, and demonstrate in reality as opposed to just speaking of it hypothetically.

Red Hat OpenShift Review
- I would say it's positive. We are in healthcare, so yeah, during our open enrollment time, it really helped us.
February 26, 2024
Red Hat OpenShift Review
- I'll say a lot of positive impact because when we started making this product aware to all the application domains in our business, they saw how easy to use. I mean we are giving a lot of control to the development team, how they can scale their application, how can they check the health of the application, and what action they can take if they are in any kind of failure or even meeting the business's SLA. So there are a lot of capabilities and those are really new features they can use. Those I think are a good use of OpenShift.

Eases app development and deployments.
- It significantly improved the speed of deployment/scaling of legacy applications. Previously this kind of activities used to take close to 6 months with several developers/integrators/test/Maintenance teams working. Now with Red Hat OpenShift, this activity can be done in 2-3 months. Development time has significantly reduced.
- Speed to value and speed to market - very positive.
- Developer, Operator/Administrator, Security professional productivity - very positive.
- Enhanced visibility into cluster or multi-cluster security, management - very positive.
- Enhanced application code security - with vulnerability scanning and keeping curated images in an image registry - (supply chain integrity) - very positive.
- Negative: The ROI of OpenShift is difficult to reach because of the high cost of license and support. Today there are better alternatives.
- Negative: vendor lock-in on infra part, like Istio, that forces other RHEL choices for HyperVisor.
- Positive: support, you have RHEL behind it and for a customer could be important.

RedHat OpenShift for future-proof agility and rapid growth.
- We managed to launch our client's latest mobile app three months ahead of schedule. OpenShift sped up our development cycles by 30%. Now, we can release new features, and bug fixes much quicker.
- Our software engineers love the flexibility and agility OpenShift has. Our devs are 25% more productive, focusing more on building great features than fighting infrastructure battles.
- Initially, the OpenShift licensing felt a bit steep. But the ROI is clear: we have achieved an overall 25% increase in our software release frequency and a 20% boost in customer satisfaction as of now, and we are hoping to gain much more cost savings in the long run.
