We performed a comparison between Cisco Container Platform and Red Hat 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 usability and the developer experience. The platform has a centralized consultant that is easy to use for our development, operations and security teams."
"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 initial setup process is easy."
"Dashboards... give us all the details we need to see about the microservices."
"Everything is packaged into OpenShift Container Platform."
"The banking transactions, inquiries, and account opening have been the most valuable."
"The software is user-friendly and straightforward to use, which is favorable to a developer."
"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."
"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."
"The complexity of the installation could be reduced. While we got the necessary support, the instructions could be clearer."
"The solution needs to introduce open ID connect integration for role-based access control."
"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 solution does not work on a route-wise NFS."
"We've encountered challenges when transitioning applications between these environments."
"The monitoring and logging could be improved."
"There should be a simplification of the overall cluster environment. It should require fewer resources. Just to run a simple Hello World app, it requires about seven servers, and that's just crazy. I understand that it is fully redundant, but it's prohibitively expensive to get something simple going."
"Another thing that bugs me is that they removed the software in NFS storage. I don't understand why because this is a common type of storage. I am having problems with that, so I wish they would put it back."
