We performed a comparison between Red Hat 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."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."
"Valuable features include auto-recreate of pod if pod fails; fast rollback, with one click, to previous version."
"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."
"Key features are WildFly, because it standardizes infrastructure and the git repository and docker. Git is essential for source code and Docker for infrastructure."
"The security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
"Overall, the solution's security throughout the stack and software supply chain is excellent."
"Its security is most valuable. It's by default secure, which is very important."
"Excellent GUI support, so one does not need to use the command line client for almost any tasks. Great support for building images directly from Git repositories with hooks."
"The presentation is clear and easy to comprehend."
"The solution can scale."
"The solution is very robust and easy to develop in."
"We also use Salesforce to find trends to make informed decisions in terms of events and marketing campaigns."
"A great platform to import, manage and save customer data."
"It works beautifully. I haven't had any errors."
"There are no major performance issues in the solution."
"We haven't had any issues with stability so far."
"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."
"The tool lacks some features to make it compliant with Kubernetes"
"It could use auto-scaling based on criteria such as transaction volume, queue backlog, etc. Currently, it is limited to CPU and memory."
"Credential not hidden, so people on the same group can view it."
"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."
"OpenShift's storage management could be better."
"The monitoring part could be better to monitor the performance."
"The interface could be simplified a bit more."
"When we're documenting information such as notes, and so forth, if we were to go back to the same case all notes go missing."
"Salesforce Platform operates as a cloud system, and within our organization, numerous internal systems handle data processing. While real-time data retrieval is feasible through services, achieving real-time communication poses some challenges."
"Salesforce also did not integrate well with some of the other systems that we had."
"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."
"Easier process to move to Lightning Components."
"Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail."
"An expensive solution requiring a lot of configuration."
"The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors."
