Likelihood to Recommend	IBM Cloud Private is well suited for SaaS models. Incentivized Bhaskara Rudraraju Tech Consultant (ODM and BPM) Read full review	RedHat OpenShift is not only suited for IBM Cloud but can run in ANY cloud. We installed in Azure Cloud, for example. It can also run on Linux servers or a Power 9 machine. It is built for multi-cloud or on-prem environments. IBM support provides such excellent guidance in the installation and configuration that no other product on the market can beat it.
