We performed a comparison between OpenShift and Virtuozzo Application 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."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 initial setup is simple, and OpenShift is open-source, so it's easy to install on any cloud platform."
"This solution helps us to account for peak seasons involving higher demand than usual. It also gives us confidence in the security of our overall systems."
"It is a stable platform."
"OpenShift facilitates DevOps practices and improves CI/CD workflows in terms of stability compared to Jenkins."
"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 developers seem to like the source-to-image feature. That makes it easy for them to deploy an application from code into containers, so they don't have to think about things. They take it straight from their code into a containerized application. If you don't have OpenShift, you have to build the container and then deploy the container to, say, EKS or something like that."
"I love to automate everything and OpenShift was been born for that. It takes care of the network layer itself and I don't need to dive into it; I can work on a top level. Our project has numerous services designed to run in Docker containers, and we have run almost all pieces in OpenShift."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"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."
"The monitoring part could be better to monitor the performance."
"Room for improvement is around the offerings that come as a bundle with the container platform. The packaging of the platform should be done such that customers do not have to purchase additional licenses."
"This solution could be improved by offering best practices on standardization and additional guidance on how to use this solution."
"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."
"Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible."
"Its virtual upgrades are time-consuming."
"This is a fairly expensive solution."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
