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."The solution is easy to scale."
"The most valuable feature is the auto scalers for all microservices. The feature allows us to place request limits and it is much cheaper than AWS."
"The scalability of OpenShift combined with Kubernetes is good. At least from the software standpoint, it becomes quite easy to handle the scalability through configuration. You need to constantly monitor the underlying infrastructure and ensure that it has adequate provisioning. If you have enough infrastructure, then managing the scalability is quite easy which is done through configuration."
"It is a stable platform."
"We have found the cluster management function to be very good with this product."
"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."
"OpenShift facilitates DevOps practices and improves CI/CD workflows in terms of stability compared to Jenkins."
"The security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"The maintenance part can be outsourced easily."
"To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments."
"The dashboard provides pretty good clarity."
"I found flexibility most valuable in the SAP Cloud Platform. It's a simple tool that's good even for first-time users."
"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"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."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"The monitoring part could be better to monitor the performance."
"The operators need a lot of improvement, with better integrations."
"OpenShift's storage management could be better."
"Its virtual upgrades are time-consuming."
"OpenShift could improve by providing the ability to integrate with public cloud platforms. This way we can easily use the services that these platforms offer. For instance, Amazon AWS. However, all the three major hyper-scalers solutions offer excellent DevOps and CI/CD tooling. If there was an easy way to integrate with them it would be beneficial. We need a way to easily integrate with the monitoring and dashboard services that they provide."
"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients"
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
"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."
"We need to connect our ERP solution via the VPN. We need to make sure our ERP solutions aren't exposed to the outside world. Our teams really struggle with this."
"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."
