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."
"OpenShift facilitates DevOps practices and improves CI/CD workflows in terms of stability compared to Jenkins."
"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."
"Its security is most valuable. It's by default secure, which is very important."
"We are able to operate client’s platform without downtime during security patch management each month and provide a good SLA (as scalability for applications is processed during heavy client website load, automatically)."
"Overall, the solution's security throughout the stack and software supply chain is excellent."
"OpenShift offers more stability than Kubernetes."
"The solution provides a preferred method of backing up data."
"Marketing and Sales Lead, Forecasting, Campaign management."
"One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment."
"I'm not sure what the most valuable aspect of the solution is, but I can say that their finance and auditing systems are quite impressive. You can audit in different invoices right to procurement. It's all quite seamless."
"It is a platform that allows you to get applications quickly to the end user in a secure way."
"One of the main features of the solution is it is flexible."
"It is an easy product to use and does great things for our company. It keeps track of all of our sales activity."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its overall ability to manage everything, including the sales pipeline and quick creation of sales reports."
"The monitoring part could be better to monitor the performance."
"There is no orchestration platform in OpenShift."
"Latency and performance are two areas of concern in OpenShift where improvements are required."
"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."
"The area for improvement is mostly in support for legacy applications."
"OpenShift could be improved if it were more accessible for smaller budgets."
"The product’s integration with Windows containers and other third-party products needs improvement."
"Integration needs improvement."
"They have some limitations as a cloud solution."
"Getting reports in Salesforce is sometimes a little bit difficult. You need to do a lot of things to get detailed reports. This feature can be improved. Its price can also be improved. It is currently expensive."
"What could be improved in the Salesforce Platform is the price. The platform is too expensive. The implementation time for the platform is also longer than expected, so that's another area for improvement."
"The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows."
"It does need very specific resources to help deploy it and buy in from the users. It's one of those items it's pretty disruptive and if it's not deployed properly and if it doesn't get utilized efficiently, it won't be effective."
"An expensive solution requiring a lot of configuration."
"We have a lot of strategic accounts and large accounts that are tied with all the growth and acquisitions across North America, being able to tag parent-child accounts in an easier fashion would be better. This is the biggest pain point is associating parent to child and being able to align and manage it better. Overall a better parent-child relationship between accounts would be a benefit."
