We performed a comparison between Red Hat 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."I would recommend Red Hat OpenShift, especially for its automation capabilities."
"OpenShift facilitates DevOps practices and improves CI/CD workflows in terms of stability compared to Jenkins."
"Security is also an important part of this solution. By default, things are running with limited privileges and securely confined to their own resources. This way, different users and projects can all use the same infrastructure."
"It's cloud agnostic and the containerization and security features are outstanding."
"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."
"I am impressed with the product's security features."
"Scaling and uptime of the applications are positives."
"We have found the cluster management function to be very good with this product."
"The HANA replications are very useful."
"The product improved our company's business operations since we got value out of it."
"One of the best features of this solution is that it is web-based and you can log in and work on it from anywhere."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"One of the most valuable features I have found is that the solution is secure."
"Though I'm not a massive fan of the SAP Cloud Platform, it has good features, such as its integration with other SAP solutions. When integrating with SAP or even the SAP sister company SuccessFactors and other companies SAP has acquired, you also enjoy data features in the SAP Cloud Platform, such as role-based permissions and other characteristics you can import from SAP."
"I found flexibility most valuable in the SAP Cloud Platform. It's a simple tool that's good even for first-time users."
"Scalability is one of the benefits that we have in using the product."
"This is a fairly expensive solution."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"The tool lacks some features to make it compliant with Kubernetes"
"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."
"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."
"I think that OpenShift has too many commands for running services from the CLI, and the configuration files are a little complicated."
"The software-defined networking part of it caused us quite a bit of heartburn. We ran into a lot of problems with the difference between on-prem and cloud, where we had to make quite a number of modifications... They've since resolved it, so it's not really an issue anymore."
"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."
"Planning features are limited to the finance module."
"Lacks flexibility in its licensing structure."
"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."
"My impression of the stability is that it is not good. Almost every month there is something new and that makes us nervous about delivery."
"When I started looking at the client's IT architecture, I started by doing a study of their services, DVM, data volume, and management services. According to the results, they could be a lot better at this."
"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
