We performed a comparison between Google App Engine and OpenShift 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."It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful."
"The initial setup is okay. It's not too complex. Deployment took about one day."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"Its ability to integrate with most devices helps users who have different or old devices."
"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"I've found that all of the features are valuable, especially the shared drive and the ability for multiple people to use their documents at the same time."
"Google App Engine's most valuable feature is self-management. You do not have to manage the infrastructure underneath where all the functions are happening, such as load balancing deployment and version management, they are managed by the system itself."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"Two stand-out features are the security model and value-add features that don't exist in Upstream Kubernetes."
"The security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
"The most valuable feature is the auto scalers for all microservices. The feature allows us to place request limits and it is much cheaper than AWS."
"We want to build a solution that can be deployable to any cloud because of client requirements and OpenShift allows us to do this."
"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."
"There is a quick deployment of the application, and we can scale out efficiently."
"We have found the cluster management function to be very good with this product."
"The stability has been good."
"The only concern is that there is a number of the offerings which are built on their own proprietary technologies. With some of the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five."
"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"We need some kind of a multi-cluster management solution from the Red Hat site."
"This solution could be improved by offering best practices on standardization and additional guidance on how to use this solution."
"I want easier node management and more user-friendly scripts for installing master and worker nodes."
"The latest 4.0 version of OpenShift disabled a few of the features we previously made use of, although this wasn't a huge deal."
"This is a fairly expensive solution."
"The monitoring part could be better to monitor the performance."
"The metrics in OpenShift can use improvement."
"The tool lacks some features to make it compliant with Kubernetes"
