We performed a comparison between Oracle Java Cloud Service and Red Hat OpenShift based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"The framework supports auto-configuration. A lot of features are already there. It is reliable and user-friendly to develop code, back-end engineering, or locate specific information such as addresses."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"The developers seem to like the source-to-image feature. That makes it easy for them to deploy an application from code into containers, so they don't have to think about things. They take it straight from their code into a containerized application. If you don't have OpenShift, you have to build the container and then deploy the container to, say, EKS or something like that."
"Excellent GUI support, so one does not need to use the command line client for almost any tasks. Great support for building images directly from Git repositories with hooks."
"Scaling and uptime of the applications are positives."
"We have found the cluster management function to be very good with this product."
"The most valuable feature is the auto scalers for all microservices. The feature allows us to place request limits and it is much cheaper than AWS."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"It's cloud agnostic and the containerization and security features are outstanding."
"Its security is most valuable. It's by default secure, which is very important."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"I want easier node management and more user-friendly scripts for installing master and worker nodes."
"An enhancement to consider for the future might involve incorporating a comprehensive solution for CI/CD tailored specifically for OpenShift."
"The software-defined networking part of it caused us quite a bit of heartburn. We ran into a lot of problems with the difference between on-prem and cloud, where we had to make quite a number of modifications... They've since resolved it, so it's not really an issue anymore."
"OpenShift's storage management could be better."
"There have been some issues with security, in particular, that we had to address. At times they make it “clunky." I am quite confident these parameters will appear in the next releases. They have been reported as bugs and are actually in process."
"It would be great if it supported Bitbucket repositories too."
"OpenShift can improve monitoring. Sometimes there are issues. Additionally, the solution could benefit from protective tools if something was to happen in our network."
"The platform's documentation could be more comprehensive to cover the full spectrum of user needs. Sometimes, achieving specific goals is challenging due to a lack of detailed guidance."
