We performed a comparison between Oracle Java Cloud Service and Red Hat OpenShift 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."The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."
"The framework supports auto-configuration. A lot of features are already there. It is reliable and user-friendly to develop code, back-end engineering, or locate specific information such as addresses."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"The solution's technical support is 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."
"Two stand-out features are the security model and value-add features that don't exist in Upstream Kubernetes."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the great customer service and the ability for our team to get assistance when we need it."
"I am impressed with the product's security features."
"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."
"Key features are WildFly, because it standardizes infrastructure and the git repository and docker. Git is essential for source code and Docker for infrastructure."
"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."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"Room for improvement is around the offerings that come as a bundle with the container platform. The packaging of the platform should be done such that customers do not have to purchase additional licenses."
"Latency and performance are two areas of concern in OpenShift where improvements are required."
"There is no orchestration platform in OpenShift."
"If we can have a GUI-based configuration with better flexibility then it will be great."
"We want to see better alerting, especially in critical situations requiring immediate intervention. Until we go to the dashboard, it can be challenging to quickly recognize that there's an issue for us to deal with. Therefore, a popup of the event or a tweaked GUI to catch our attention when it's alerting would be a welcome change. Everything else is good. We don't need any additional features. From the operations perspective, as an administrator, there is nothing concerning."
"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."
"Credential not hidden, so people on the same group can view it."
