We performed a comparison between OpenShift and SAP Cloud Platform 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."OpenShift facilitates DevOps practices and improves CI/CD workflows in terms of stability compared to Jenkins."
"Two stand-out features are the security model and value-add features that don't exist in Upstream Kubernetes."
"The security is good."
"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."
"OpenShift offers robust tools for monitoring application traffic, allowing us to analyze client requests and other business-related metrics."
"Overall, the solution's security throughout the stack and software supply chain is excellent."
"The stability has been good."
"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."
"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."
"I found flexibility most valuable in the SAP Cloud Platform. It's a simple tool that's good even for first-time users."
"The solution is very useful and interactive with a dashboard for viewing other interfaces."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."
"One of the most valuable features I have found is that the solution is secure."
"The product is very stable."
"The product’s integration with Windows containers and other third-party products needs improvement."
"The metrics in OpenShift can use improvement."
"We need some kind of a multi-cluster management solution from the Red Hat site."
"Needs work on volume handling (although this is already better with GlusterFS). Security (SSSD) would also be an improvement."
"The area for improvement is mostly in support for legacy applications."
"Documentation and technical support could be improved. The product is good, but when we raise a case with support—say we are having an image issue—the support is not really up to the mark. It is difficult to get support... When we raise a case, their support people will hesitate to get on a call or a screen-sharing session. That is a major drawback when it comes to OpenShift."
"It could use auto-scaling based on criteria such as transaction volume, queue backlog, etc. Currently, it is limited to CPU and memory."
"I think that OpenShift has too many commands for running services from the CLI, and the configuration files are a little complicated."
"Shows errors without providing any analysis."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"I've observed a few bugs in SAP. One recent bug I found in Content Modifier is that when using a predefined header to call the current date, it prints the previous date. These are small bugs I found."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"Speaking about the public cloud, it's a very rigid system. So, there is not a lot of customization possible in a public cloud environment."
"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients"
