The problem came when Red Hat wanted everyone to move from v2 to v3 and gave very short notice and a very short timeline. Version 3 was completely different, based on containers. > > **Cons**: As stated above, the real problem with Openshift is the way Red Hat forced everyone to move from v2 to v3 in a ridiculously short time. Documentation for migration was useless, I tried to migrate using it - it all failed. I could not trust Red Hat again after that experience, so I moved to Linode and have never looked back. > > It was an excellent product, Red Hat's management and treatment of users is the problem. ----- ### "Perfect Container Orchestrator" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *5 December 2020* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: If you have microservices use case and have following questions like How to scale my services? How to monitor my services? How manage deployment? How to make services resilient to failures? Answer to all the above questions is Openshift. As it eases the pain of development and there is solution available to a known services deployment issue already. Integration of our existing services was smoothly done. > > **Cons**: We didn't face any major issue while implementing or changing our deployment strategy for microservices. However as a developer I think there are many parts that one needs to understand to get going. But I don't think that as an issue. All tools have some learning curve and Openshift is no different. > > It solved our use case of transitioning from monolith to microservices. ----- ### "Container Orchestration Made Easy" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 March 2024* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Openshift UI to easily deploy, scale and destroy pods. - Has Kubernetes features - Support for public and private cloud deployments > > **Cons**: Sometimes deployments/pods get stuck and are not deleted even after multiple retries. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/143503/openshift?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/143503/openshift) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
