We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS 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 AWS feature that I most enjoy is Lambda functions. I primarily use serverless components because they allow you to process things without having to compromise on resources like when running EC2 instances or virtual machines. With minimal effort, you can scale up an unlimited number of processes, even concurrently, to process things. I frequently work with web APIs, so I use Lambda a lot in this area."
"This solution is stable and reliable."
"AWS is easy to manage."
"We can spin up the server anytime and have root access to it."
"The solution has good speed. It's very fast."
"AWS is stable."
"I like that the products are specific and objective. We can resolve a problem using a simple configuration. It's so easy to implement a solution and solve a problem using AWS solutions. AWS has a lot of specific solutions for different use cases. I think that this is the most important thing that made us consider using AWS."
"Macie is great. It is a service that makes recommendations on a data layer for cybersecurity. It is a great service."
"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 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 solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
"The deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."
"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 initial setup is easy."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"Faster API response times and an improved console experience would be better. Enhanced performance across APIs and the console would streamline our workflows."
"The pricing of the solution could be better. It's a little pricey."
"The price needs improvement."
"The problem with AWS is you have to keep up with the technology. If you don't stay up to date with the technology and its latest changes then you won't know what to use in your infrastructure."
"The pricing of AWS is very unclear. They make it quite confusing."
"An integrated platform would make it easier for administrators to monitor and manage."
"Amazon AWS could be improved with cheaper licensing costs."
"The invoicing procedure of Amazon AWS needs to be improved. It can be difficult to manage."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."
"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."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
