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's initial setup is very easy, especially compared to AWS."
"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 company had a product called device financing, where the company worked as a partner with Google. It allowed customers to take mobile phones on loan or via credit. When we migrated those services to OpenShift in February last year, we were able to sell over 100,000 devices in a single day, which was very good."
"I am impressed with the product's security features."
"The security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
"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."
"We want to build a solution that can be deployable to any cloud because of client requirements and OpenShift allows us to do this."
"I have seen a return on investment, and it depends upon the types and the nature of some of the most critical applications that have been hosted on the OpenShift infrastructure."
"I love the report building that is available."
"The activities, opportunities, follow-up of the opportunities, and business tracking are valuable features. It provides everything that we need. It works pretty well."
"It is a platform that allows you to get applications quickly to the end user in a secure way."
"A fully integrated solution that provides a seamless experience."
"There are no major performance issues in the solution."
"It is very user-friendly, and intuitive, it will lead you and take you to the next steps."
"The solution is very robust and easy to develop in."
"It has definitely improved how we function."
"Its virtual upgrades are time-consuming."
"Credential not hidden, so people on the same group can view it."
"An enhancement to consider for the future might involve incorporating a comprehensive solution for CI/CD tailored specifically for OpenShift."
"I think that OpenShift has too many commands for running services from the CLI, and the configuration files are a little complicated."
"The solution only offers support for one server."
"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."
"We need some kind of a multi-cluster management solution from the Red Hat site."
"One area for improvement is the documentation. They need to make it a little bit more user-friendly. Also, if you compare certain features and the installation process with Rancher, Rancher is simpler."
"Easier process to move to Lightning Components."
"The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows."
"I think the interface should be enhanced and more user-friendly."
"Some business functionalities could be improved."
"Although the platform is already set up for you, there's a lot of customization that needs to be done, especially for any new component we start using. For whatever solution we wanted, we had to think for ourselves and design it all on our own. And, unfortunately, there were some components that were not really mature in the beginning, like Tableau for example."
"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."
"Technical support could be a bit faster."
"Salesforce introduces a lot of products and sometimes rebrands them, causing confusion. They acquire products like W and retain their names, creating confusion in the market. This confusion isn't related to the product's functionality but rather its positioning and rebranding. For instance, what was once known as Community Cloud is now referred to as Experience Cloud. This can be confusing for business leaders."
