We performed a comparison between 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."We want to build a solution that can be deployable to any cloud because of client requirements and OpenShift allows us to do this."
"The security is good."
"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."
"We are able to operate client’s platform without downtime during security patch management each month and provide a good SLA (as scalability for applications is processed during heavy client website load, automatically)."
"I like OCP, and the management UI is better than the open-source ones."
"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."
"The company had a product called device financing, where the company worked as a partner with Google. It allowed customers to take mobile phones on loan or via credit. When we migrated those services to OpenShift in February last year, we were able to sell over 100,000 devices in a single day, which was very good."
"Valuable features include auto-recreate of pod if pod fails; fast rollback, with one click, to previous version."
"We use this solution to track customer activities, opportunities and contact information."
"The stability has been great."
"I love the report building that is available."
"Checking out or extracting a report is just a click away."
"When compared to Siebel, the Salesforce Platform is easier to use."
"It is very user-friendly, and intuitive, it will lead you and take you to the next steps."
"The presentation is clear and easy to comprehend."
"What I like about the Salesforce Platform, in particular, its enterprise edition is that apart from its many features, you can have a wider view of the customers, a 360-degree view. I also enjoy managing opportunities in the Salesforce Platform a lot because it's easier and gives you a wider view, compared to HubSpot."
"The operators need a lot of improvement, with better integrations."
"If we can have a GUI-based configuration with better flexibility then it will be great."
"This solution could be improved by offering best practices on standardization and additional guidance on how to use this solution."
"The latest 4.0 version of OpenShift disabled a few of the features we previously made use of, although this wasn't a huge deal."
"OpenShift could be improved if it were more accessible for smaller budgets."
"Latency and performance are two areas of concern in OpenShift where improvements are required."
"The product’s integration with Windows containers and other third-party products needs improvement."
"The interface could be simplified a bit more."
"I don't have any notes for improvement. It serves us well."
"There needs to be more documentation."
"What could be improved in the Salesforce Platform is the price. The platform is too expensive. The implementation time for the platform is also longer than expected, so that's another area for improvement."
"Areas of improvement can be around Engagement of Customers feature and approvals of transactional records."
"I would like to have integration with Google."
"It could have a lot more customization options in terms of fonts and reports. There should be an even lighter version with just two or three fields. It could be a bit more light if the field guys want to use it on a mobile phone on the road. For deploying it for CRM, maybe we can have our customer database, project funnels, and projects to help us in managing our supply chain business."
"I would like to see the organizational details improved to make it less difficult to bring new clients on board."
"There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning."
