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."I am impressed with the product's security features."
"Great integration with Jenkins for constant integration and development. Supports all the major languages and environments - PHP, Java, Node.js, Ruby, etc."
"I have seen a return on investment, and it depends upon the types and the nature of some of the most critical applications that have been hosted on the OpenShift infrastructure."
"I love to automate everything and OpenShift was been born for that. It takes care of the network layer itself and I don't need to dive into it; I can work on a top level. Our project has numerous services designed to run in Docker containers, and we have run almost all pieces in OpenShift."
"There is a quick deployment of the application, and we can scale out efficiently."
"Key features are WildFly, because it standardizes infrastructure and the git repository and docker. Git is essential for source code and Docker for infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of OpenShift is the security context constraint (SCC). The solution’s security throughout the stack is good. And security context constraints provide port-level security. It's a granular level of control, where you can give privileges to certain users to work on certain applications."
"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."
"When compared to Siebel, the Salesforce Platform is easier to use."
"The activities, opportunities, follow-up of the opportunities, and business tracking are valuable features. It provides everything that we need. It works pretty well."
"What I like about the Salesforce Platform, in particular, its enterprise edition is that apart from its many features, you can have a wider view of the customers, a 360-degree view. I also enjoy managing opportunities in the Salesforce Platform a lot because it's easier and gives you a wider view, compared to HubSpot."
"What we like the most about it is the fact that it helps us track the record of our projects. It keeps everything on one interface, facilitating the operations and planning."
"A fully integrated solution that provides a seamless experience."
"The Salesforce Platform's most valuable features are everything in one place, perfect reporting, highly customizable, and easy to receive information you need."
"Features they are integrating to the other services."
"The product is pretty responsive."
"The tool lacks some features to make it compliant with Kubernetes"
"OpenShift's storage management could be better."
"This is a fairly expensive solution."
"Autoscaling is a very unique feature, but it could be useful to have more options based on traffic statistics, for example, via Prometheus. So, there should be more ready solutions to autoscale based on specific applications."
"The solution needs to support the new features in Kubernetes more quickly."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"Needs work on volume handling (although this is already better with GlusterFS). Security (SSSD) would also be an improvement."
"It would be great if it supported Bitbucket repositories too."
"Salesforce Platform has a cumbersome interface when creating reports, dashboards, and those types of things. They could be a little bit more simple. The administration has to be an aficionado to do any sort of administration and maintenance, for example, setting up the way you want to modify the lead tracks or functions. These systems tend to be quite cumbersome."
"Salesforce is incredibly slow. It was difficult to run live sales calls and leveraging Salesforce at the same time."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
"Salesforce also did not integrate well with some of the other systems that we had."
"I think the search needs to be improved so as to allow for a broader keyword search."
"They need an easy way of getting details and then adding to it and then being able to do it in a more simplified way"
"The solution's UI is horrible."
"Pricing is the biggest factor. The cost right now is too high and I've had a lot of clients leave."
