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 stable. It is easy to learn and very straightforward."
"This platform is popular with technical users because of the abilities for customization and fine-tuning performance."
"What I like most about Google Cloud is its stability. I also like that its GUI works fine for my company."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Google Cloud is 100 percent stable."
"The solution has improved our web apps so that we can have a canary deployment. GCP also helps us upload new features and changes to our software without impacting a lot of users with the network. The AI features have improved the software as well."
"It didn't take long to get everything set up and understand what was going on. Things are pretty clear."
"The infrastructure is easy to manage."
"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 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 initial setup is easy."
"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 portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"The solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
"The deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."
"It would be nice if they could offer more free storage."
"It is complex to set up."
"Workload management could be better. Their pricing could also be more flexible."
"Google Cloud would benefit from more detailed practical hands-on training especially in your mother tongue, not just English."
"Training in new advancements, technologies, or AI would help us understand how to best use the solution."
"Monitoring and usage reporting could be improved."
"If there were more documentation and training, it would be very helpful in explaining the underlying processes."
"The UI is beautiful but not easy to use, and also a little slow. Anything that you click is slow to load. It is also not easy to find something. I do not find the left-hand side menu good. We have a lot of options mixed there and we need the best way to deploy cloud resources. I prefer Azure ARM templates since their JSON files are easy to manipulate and integrate with other tools."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
"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."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
