We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS, OpenShift, and Oracle Java Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in PaaS Clouds.
"Easy to deploy through the channel model for serverless architecture and easy to integrate through the organization model."
"The solution has very good Lambda functions within AWS."
"It has a dynamic scaling capacity which is very helpful."
"Amazon AWS has improved a lot on security and is very good. Additionally, You can integrate your own security into their AWS platform."
"It is easy to spin up resources."
"The solution offers easy provisioning and scaling on the fly."
"It integrates well."
"The main feature that I like the most is the variety of solutions that it provides. It provides some analysis, business information and more. It provides a wide variety of services."
"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."
"I am impressed with the product's security features."
"Valuable features include auto-recreate of pod if pod fails; fast rollback, with one click, to previous version."
"Scaling and uptime of the applications are positives."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"There is a quick deployment of the application, and we can scale out efficiently."
"Its interface is good. The other part is the seamless integration with the stack that I have. Because my stack is mostly of Red Hat, which is running on top of VMware virtualization, I have had no issues with integrating both of these and trying to install them. We had a seamless integration with the other non-Red Hat products as well."
"We have found the cluster management function to be very good with this product."
"The framework supports auto-configuration. A lot of features are already there. It is reliable and user-friendly to develop code, back-end engineering, or locate specific information such as addresses."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."
"AWS is very expensive."
"It would be ideal if they could provide automatic health reports. That way, I would be able to understand at a glance the state of my services at any given time."
"Many of our clients prefer in-house cloud rather than the application data sitting in the infrastructure owned and managed by Amazon."
"The solution could always be further improved on the commercial side of things. Amazon Web Services are not cheap. It would be ideal if it was less expensive for the customer."
"At times we find ourselves a little trapped, with the lack of customization, for what we need."
"We would like to see if AWS includes any inbuilt automation. Also, we are very interested in AWS's AI/ML features, as well as IoT, AR, and VR."
"User personalization and robotic process automation services need to be mature enough. More APIs are required for robotic process automation services. Azure is more mature in terms of user personalization and robotic process automation services. The document processing can also be better. Whenever we want to do any kind of document management, I try to do OCR, ICR, etc. The functionality in AWS has to be more like that."
"It would be better if there was a way to see which components were still on. We have some situations where I forget that some components are turned on. We forget some components are on, and we only see that these components are on when we see the bill at the end of the month. It would also be better if AWS had specialized firewalls or integrations with leading products. For example, a specialized firewall with content filtering. We were looking for some firewall tools, and we saw that AWS doesn't have any specialized firewall tools in its services portfolio. So, we are looking for other tools like FortKnox, Forcepoint, and Check Point because we didn't find the solutions in AWS services."
"I want easier node management and more user-friendly scripts for installing master and worker nodes."
"Autoscaling is a very unique feature, but it could be useful to have more options based on traffic statistics, for example, via Prometheus. So, there should be more ready solutions to autoscale based on specific applications."
"The software-defined networking part of it caused us quite a bit of heartburn. We ran into a lot of problems with the difference between on-prem and cloud, where we had to make quite a number of modifications... They've since resolved it, so it's not really an issue anymore."
"I think that OpenShift has too many commands for running services from the CLI, and the configuration files are a little complicated."
"Needs work on volume handling (although this is already better with GlusterFS). Security (SSSD) would also be an improvement."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by offering best practices on standardization and additional guidance on how to use this solution."
"Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
