Red Hat, the top open-source solution provider in the world, revealed that it has been recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: loud Container Platforms, Q3 2025 study.

Among the suppliers that were reviewed, Red Hat received the top scores in the categories of strategy and present offering. Red Hat credits its excellent performance in the multicloud container platform industry for this honor.

OpenShift is an excellent match for businesses that value support, dependability, and sophisticated engineering, especially in regulated sectors like financial services, according to a Forrester analysis. Customers frequently compliment Red Hat's enterprise-grade products and support, particularly for managed services, according to the survey.

According to Forrester's study, Red Hat is a leader in the fundamental areas of Kubernetes, including customizable interfaces through a command-line interface (CLI) or graphical user interface (GUI), strong administration, and GitOps automation. Red Hat's ability to develop features beyond native public cloud services is demonstrated by OpenShift's 99.95% SLAs for public cloud managed-service versions. Furthermore, it claims that Red Hat's above-average ratings in developer experience, service and application catalogs, microservices, service mesh, DevOps automation, and integration provide developers with almost everything they want.

To support generative AI (GenAI) development and operations, Red Hat is also utilizing its full hybrid cloud stack, starting with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which is a crucial Linux foundation that optimizes model serving and advanced inference.
