We performed a comparison between OpenShift and SAP Cloud Platform 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."The most valuable aspect of this solution is the great customer service and the ability for our team to get assistance when we need it."
"The scalability of OpenShift combined with Kubernetes is good. At least from the software standpoint, it becomes quite easy to handle the scalability through configuration. You need to constantly monitor the underlying infrastructure and ensure that it has adequate provisioning. If you have enough infrastructure, then managing the scalability is quite easy which is done through configuration."
"There is a quick deployment of the application, and we can scale out efficiently."
"The initial setup is simple, and OpenShift is open-source, so it's easy to install on any cloud platform."
"It's cloud agnostic and the containerization and security features are outstanding."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of OpenShift is the containers."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"The product is very stable."
"Cloud Platform's stability is great."
"The solution is scalable."
"Feature-wise, I like it since it allows you to integrate with multiple applications. There are available connectors that allow you to integrate."
"Improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"SAP Cloud Platform's most valuable features are its exhaustiveness, scalability with minimum maintenance, and functionality."
"The tool lacks some features to make it compliant with Kubernetes"
"We want to see better alerting, especially in critical situations requiring immediate intervention. Until we go to the dashboard, it can be challenging to quickly recognize that there's an issue for us to deal with. Therefore, a popup of the event or a tweaked GUI to catch our attention when it's alerting would be a welcome change. Everything else is good. We don't need any additional features. From the operations perspective, as an administrator, there is nothing concerning."
"Not a ten because it's not a standard solution and the endpoint protection user has to prepare with documentation or have training from other people. It's not easy to start because it's not like other solutions."
"The latest 4.0 version of OpenShift disabled a few of the features we previously made use of, although this wasn't a huge deal."
"The operators need a lot of improvement, with better integrations."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"OpenShift's storage management could be better."
"My team has found some bugs in OpenShift due to continuous integration, and this is an area for improvement in the platform. RedHat should fix the bugs. Another area for improvement in OpenShift is that upgrading clusters can be challenging, resulting in downtime. Application support also needs improvement in OpenShift because the platform doesn't support all applications in the cloud. I'd like upgraded storage in the next release of OpenShift, especially when I need to do a DR exercise. It would also be good if the platform allows mirroring with another cluster, or more portability in terms of moving applications to another cluster."
"When they innovate too fast, they end up confusing their customers."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"I feel that SAP provides the tools, but after that, you are left on your own. It would be better if they provided more support throughout the usage of their solutions."
"The solution requires more flexibility overall."
"Planning features are limited to the finance module."
"One crucial aspect where SAP lags behind in flexibility is customization to suit specific business requirements. SAP needs to understand that customization is inevitable and should be more supportive of business-driven customization."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
