We performed a comparison between OpenShift and Salesforce 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."We want to build a solution that can be deployable to any cloud because of client requirements and OpenShift allows us to do this."
"I am impressed with the product's security features."
"Its security is most valuable. It's by default secure, which is very important."
"It's cloud agnostic and the containerization and security features are outstanding."
"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."
"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."
"I like OCP, and the management UI is better than the open-source ones."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"It is a platform that allows you to get applications quickly to the end user in a secure way."
"The Salesforce Platform's most valuable features are everything in one place, perfect reporting, highly customizable, and easy to receive information you need."
"The solution can scale."
"A great platform to import, manage and save customer data."
"It is a great platform. It's definitely an improvement from the GCP application that we were using previously."
"I found the ease of use most valuable in the Salesforce Platform. I also found the platform pretty light."
"The standard sales and marketing tools that Salesforce provides on the platform are the most valuable."
"One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment."
"One glaring flaw is how OpenShift handles operators. Sometimes operators are forced to go into a particular namespace. When you do that, OpenShift creates an installation plan for everything in that namespace. These operators may be completely separate from each other and have nothing to do with each other, but now they are tied at the hip. You can't upgrade one without upgrading all of them. That's a huge mistake and highly problematic."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"OpenShift could be improved if it were more accessible for smaller budgets."
"The operators need a lot of improvement, with better integrations."
"Not a ten because it's not a standard solution and the endpoint protection user has to prepare with documentation or have training from other people. It's not easy to start because it's not like other solutions."
"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."
"One area for improvement is the documentation. They need to make it a little bit more user-friendly. Also, if you compare certain features and the installation process with Rancher, Rancher is simpler."
"The integration of Salesforce with other solutions could be improved."
"The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors."
"We have a lot of strategic accounts and large accounts that are tied with all the growth and acquisitions across North America, being able to tag parent-child accounts in an easier fashion would be better. This is the biggest pain point is associating parent to child and being able to align and manage it better. Overall a better parent-child relationship between accounts would be a benefit."
"It could have a lot more customization options in terms of fonts and reports. There should be an even lighter version with just two or three fields. It could be a bit more light if the field guys want to use it on a mobile phone on the road. For deploying it for CRM, maybe we can have our customer database, project funnels, and projects to help us in managing our supply chain business."
"Easier process to move to Lightning Components."
"The management of Salesforce could be quite a task. Old and unusable contacts can add up over time. If I could wave a magic wand, it would be to initiate a self-cleaning feature."
"The reporting for Salesforce could be approved. It is a manual process and it would be useful to have a guide or videos on how to generate reports or any other cool things that you could do with the platform."
"Salesforce is a pretty cumbersome product. It's a product that you need to spend quite a bit of time customizing to your unique business model. Unless you have somebody in house that knows it really well, you're better off spending money with a consultant to get what you need."
