We performed a comparison between Google App Engine 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 WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"I've found that all of the features are valuable, especially the shared drive and the ability for multiple people to use their documents at the same time."
"It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful."
"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"Its ability to integrate with most devices helps users who have different or old devices."
"Google App Engine's most valuable feature is self-management. You do not have to manage the infrastructure underneath where all the functions are happening, such as load balancing deployment and version management, they are managed by the system itself."
"The most valuable feature of OpenShift is the containers."
"The company had a product called device financing, where the company worked as a partner with Google. It allowed customers to take mobile phones on loan or via credit. When we migrated those services to OpenShift in February last year, we were able to sell over 100,000 devices in a single day, which was very good."
"In terms of implementation, OpenShift is very user-friendly, which is an advantage. We are using it along with GitLab for implementing CI/CD pipelines. That's a feature that other products also have, but in OpenShift, we find it good."
"The product's initial setup is very easy, especially compared to AWS."
"The security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
"Two stand-out features are the security model and value-add features that don't exist in Upstream Kubernetes."
"It is a stable 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."
"The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed."
"I am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops."
"Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible."
"It could use auto-scaling based on criteria such as transaction volume, queue backlog, etc. Currently, it is limited to CPU and memory."
"Its virtual upgrades are time-consuming."
"There is no orchestration platform in OpenShift."
"The operators need a lot of improvement, with better integrations."
"I think that OpenShift has too many commands for running services from the CLI, and the configuration files are a little complicated."
"The solution needs to support the new features in Kubernetes more quickly."
"The product’s integration with Windows containers and other third-party products needs improvement."
