We performed a comparison between OpenShift and Salesforce 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."Security is also an important part of this solution. By default, things are running with limited privileges and securely confined to their own resources. This way, different users and projects can all use the same infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the high availability for the applications."
"I am impressed with the product's security features."
"OpenShift facilitates DevOps practices and improves CI/CD workflows in terms of stability compared to Jenkins."
"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."
"This solution helps us to account for peak seasons involving higher demand than usual. It also gives us confidence in the security of our overall systems."
"The security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
"I like OCP, and the management UI is better than the open-source ones."
"The scalability of the Salesforce Platform is good."
"Salesforce is the best one out there."
"The solution is easy to use."
"What I like about the Salesforce Platform, in particular, its enterprise edition is that apart from its many features, you can have a wider view of the customers, a 360-degree view. I also enjoy managing opportunities in the Salesforce Platform a lot because it's easier and gives you a wider view, compared to HubSpot."
"The standard sales and marketing tools that Salesforce provides on the platform are the most valuable."
"A very flexible solution."
"It is an easy product to use and does great things for our company. It keeps track of all of our sales activity."
"The process and the workflows are amazing."
"The metrics in OpenShift can use improvement."
"Documentation and technical support could be improved. The product is good, but when we raise a case with support—say we are having an image issue—the support is not really up to the mark. It is difficult to get support... When we raise a case, their support people will hesitate to get on a call or a screen-sharing session. That is a major drawback when it comes to OpenShift."
"Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible."
"This is a fairly expensive solution."
"OpenShift could improve by providing the ability to integrate with public cloud platforms. This way we can easily use the services that these platforms offer. For instance, Amazon AWS. However, all the three major hyper-scalers solutions offer excellent DevOps and CI/CD tooling. If there was an easy way to integrate with them it would be beneficial. We need a way to easily integrate with the monitoring and dashboard services that they provide."
"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."
"The solution needs to support the new features in Kubernetes more quickly."
"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."
"UI needs to be more intuitive and user friendly."
"Areas of improvement can be around Engagement of Customers feature and approvals of transactional records."
"Salesforce Platform could improve the UI and the responsiveness of their servers. The UI needs to be made user-friendly for all users."
"Their reporting needs to be improved. It should be easier. I don't know how, but it needs to be easier."
"In Salesforce, every customer is unique and it's not possible to bundle them together effectively if they are from the same company or move companies, et cetera."
"Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail."
"Salesforce also did not integrate well with some of the other systems that we had."
"The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing."
