We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure and Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud 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."My experience with technical support so far is very good."
"It's very easy to build a new service and get it into production."
"The platform's user-friendliness eliminates the need for lengthy training periods, enabling swift navigation for new users."
"Microsoft Azure has a lot of useful features. They have databases, application services, PaaS solutions, such as platform and infrastructure services. The virtual machines' functions and services are good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Access Management and the PIN modules."
"We can easily access and integrate data sources from other platforms."
"The data factory feature."
"It is easy to deploy."
"In general, customers appreciate its ability to run different workloads, manage applications through CI/CD pipelines like Jenkins, and leverage tools like Helm charts and Kako."
"The deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud is the UI console. We are able to receive the resources from the console directly."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Our pipeline integrates various monitoring tools like Fortify for security checks. Once the pipeline processes the code, the finished product is deployed on Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud. We ensure application setup and recovery by utilizing two separate clusters on OpenShift."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"The solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
"Improvements are needed in Azure to enhance integration tools and support for effectively migrating and managing third-party dependencies."
"The pricing can be reduced."
"The pricing needs to be a bit lower. It's an expensive solution right now."
"It should have cost optimization tools. Customers are required to use third-party applications to avoid usage complications."
"Some of the capabilities available in an on-premise SQL Server aren't available in Azure. For instance, we found Azure Managed Instance to be lacking in certain aspects. One of our clients decided to stay on-premise rather than migrate to Azure because of this reason."
"Any time you use a cloud service, there are increased security risks. If you want more security, you have to have private hosting."
"I would like to see better policy-based management and everything related to security management could have been better integrated."
"Difficult to understand how it works and it's an expensive solution."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"The effectiveness is satisfactory, and there haven't been any additional fees due to meeting demands. However, there's room for improvement in pricing, performance, and stability. Regarding the UI, it could be more user-friendly and integrated with various platforms. Currently, the UI lacks user-friendliness, especially for developers unfamiliar with container technology. Expecting them to create YAML files for security purposes is unrealistic without proper guidance or experience. This aspect needs improvement."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."
