We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS 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."We write a lot of Lambda functions for various services, as well as serverless functions."
"We pretty much like everything and we are excited about the seamless capability the EC2 service is offering."
"There is no downtime. The solution is reliable."
"We found the solution to be reliable."
"Friendly console for implementation."
"The main reason why we use EC2 is because we are not dependent on maintaining the hardware inside our premises. Also, we have full control over the infrastructure, and we can modify it as per our own requirements."
"I like that it helps us do everything really fast, and its advanced services."
"It is highly available and on-demand. So, you can scale up and scale down whenever required."
"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."
"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 solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"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 initial setup is easy."
"The setup of the solution is not so easy, it requires various skills to complete it. The whole implementation can take a month."
"I'd like to see integration with MySQL."
"The pricing of AWS is very unclear. They make it quite confusing."
"Amazon support could be better."
"Amazon AWS could be improved by lowering the general storage price."
"The cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"You'll probably experience some sticker shock with AWS. You attempt to understand the cost, but you don't realize what you're paying until you get your first bill. I don't know if Amazon does that on purpose, but costs can get out of control quickly if you don't have someone who specializes in AWS cost management."
"The technical support package for free trial users should be built on and improved."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."
"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."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
