We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure and Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud 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 product provides a host of security tools."
"Active Directory is a good feature. The infrastructure features that Azure provides are also good."
"Reduces work for our IT teams and saves us a lot of time."
"User interface and portal are great."
"Microsoft Azure has a large scope, it can do many things."
"The tool's most valuable features are SQL servers and Managed Instance databases."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure is that it is easy to use."
"It's set up to handle any cloud requirement."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"Our pipeline integrates various monitoring tools like Fortify for security checks. Once the pipeline processes the code, the finished product is deployed on Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud. We ensure application setup and recovery by utilizing two separate clusters on OpenShift."
"The solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
"In general, customers appreciate its ability to run different workloads, manage applications through CI/CD pipelines like Jenkins, and leverage tools like Helm charts and Kako."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud is the UI console. We are able to receive the resources from the console directly."
"The deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."
"The initial setup is easy."
"A good strategy would be to include a feature for integrating with external ecosystems."
"I would like to see more advanced functionality in terms of information security."
"The solution is too expensive."
"I would prefer Microsoft Azure to increase the free trial, then developers can take advantage, and it could increase their sales."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly."
"There could be more documentation and video tutorials to incorporate each and every feature. This way one can easily get the knowledge and implement it."
"In my opinion, what could be improved is making the actual costs more predictable. It is very difficult to estimate the cost or the budget you are going to need to run your environment in Azure Cloud. You have to be a specialist to understand how you will be charged, which constantly changes."
"The biggest area needing improvement involves the licensing cost."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
"The effectiveness is satisfactory, and there haven't been any additional fees due to meeting demands. However, there's room for improvement in pricing, performance, and stability. Regarding the UI, it could be more user-friendly and integrated with various platforms. Currently, the UI lacks user-friendliness, especially for developers unfamiliar with container technology. Expecting them to create YAML files for security purposes is unrealistic without proper guidance or experience. This aspect needs improvement."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
