We performed a comparison between Cloud Foundry and Microsoft Azure 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."My favorite component of IBM's solution is Node-RED, which greatly shortens the amount of time required to develop, test, and deploy new applications."
"Cloud Foundry builds the runtime environment directly without requiring dependency management from the user."
"IBM is the only vendor to offer integration with blockchain for smart contract development."
"Azure is very flexible."
"It is easy to deploy."
"In terms of managing and configuring infrastructures, Azure is fairly good."
"We can easily access and integrate data sources from other platforms."
"The product has been very stable for us so far."
"Its resiliency is most valuable. It is also a very scalable solution, so you can spend the resources on demand."
"It is easy to install."
"Much more intuitive and more visual than AWS. More obvious where things are and how to change their configurations, etc."
"In IBM Cloud, the product has been deprecated in favor of Kubernetes, which is a more complicated infrastructure to manage."
"After the initial excitement period with Node-RED is over, you crave the need of additional integrations to third-party services."
"Integrate as a service. A lot of Microsoft software licensing options aren’t yet in Azure. Also, the ability to integrate with other technologies, such as other options on the market based on RISC Technologies."
"Maybe Azure could add an address code to create your analysis without SQL or Python because some business users don't want it to code. So it's good to have a service application that connects to the data lake to conduct analysis and simplify the business process."
"Ease of use could be improved."
"There was a time when the solution was updated on their side and all of our functions stopped working. This issue could be worked on to prevent it from happening in the future. They must give us the information of when they are going to updates on the platform side so that we can take the appropriate measures on our side as well."
"Microsoft Azure could improve by having the availability be 100%. Which is difficult, but not impossible."
"The solution could always work to reduce its costs."
"It can be cheaper, which might simplify things a bit."
"Difficult to understand how it works and it's an expensive solution."
