We performed a comparison between OpenShift and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) 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."
"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."
"The initial setup is simple, and OpenShift is open-source, so it's easy to install on any cloud platform."
"What I like best about OpenShift is that it can reduce some of the costs of having multiple applications because you can just move them into small container applications. For example, applications don't need to run for twenty days, only to be used up by Monday. Through OpenShift, you can move some of the small applications into any cloud. I also find the design of OpenShift good."
"We want to build a solution that can be deployable to any cloud because of client requirements and OpenShift allows us to do this."
"The security is good."
"Self-provisioning support saves a lot of time and unnecessary work from the system administrator who can use this time to run and monitor the infrastructure. For the developer, this means less time waiting for the provisioning and excellent flexibility for development, testing, and production. Also, in such systems it is easy for developers to monitor applications even after deployment."
"OpenShift offers more stability than Kubernetes."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"Oracle Cloud Platform is a good solution because with large data platforms the data migration can be a challenge and this is the reason to move and migrate towards the cloud from on-premises."
"It is more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment."
"There is ROI with the product's use."
"Just having the many options and features offered by the product through the cloud is a major benefit."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."
"What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing."
"An enhancement to consider for the future might involve incorporating a comprehensive solution for CI/CD tailored specifically for OpenShift."
"I think that OpenShift has too many commands for running services from the CLI, and the configuration files are a little complicated."
"Credential not hidden, so people on the same group can view it."
"My team has found some bugs in OpenShift due to continuous integration, and this is an area for improvement in the platform. RedHat should fix the bugs. Another area for improvement in OpenShift is that upgrading clusters can be challenging, resulting in downtime. Application support also needs improvement in OpenShift because the platform doesn't support all applications in the cloud. I'd like upgraded storage in the next release of OpenShift, especially when I need to do a DR exercise. It would also be good if the platform allows mirroring with another cluster, or more portability in terms of moving applications to another cluster."
"Needs work on volume handling (although this is already better with GlusterFS). Security (SSSD) would also be an improvement."
"We need some kind of a multi-cluster management solution from the Red Hat site."
"The area for improvement is mostly in support for legacy applications."
"There are challenges related to additional security layers, connectivity compliance for endpoints, and integration."
"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."
"In the next release, I would like to see more automation."
"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."
"Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."
"One improvement that would be helpful is the addition of a replication option on their Standard Edition OD service. Currently, this option is not available, which leads many customers to move to the Enterprise edition. However, other cloud service providers, such as Amazon AWS offer replication options at a similar tier. It would be beneficial if Oracle also explored providing this option for their Standard Edition service."
"The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated."
"Amazon AWS has a better solution overall."
"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."
