We performed a comparison between OpenShift and SAP Cloud 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.
"Valuable features include auto-recreate of pod if pod fails; fast rollback, with one click, to previous version."
"The security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
"The product's initial setup is very easy, especially compared to AWS."
"Scaling and uptime of the applications are positives."
"It's cloud agnostic and the containerization and security features are outstanding."
"There is a quick deployment of the application, and we can scale out efficiently."
"OpenShift facilitates DevOps practices and improves CI/CD workflows in terms of stability compared to Jenkins."
"This solution is providing a platform with OOTB features that are difficult to build from scratch."
"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."
"The features I found most valuable are the integration options."
"Great Integration Suite, with CPI being its stable component."
"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"The most valuable features of the SAP Cloud Platform are the extensions and integrations. Additionally, there are a lot of AI-based microservices."
"I found flexibility most valuable in the SAP Cloud Platform. It's a simple tool that's good even for first-time users."
"The solution is scalable."
"Documentation and technical support could be improved. The product is good, but when we raise a case with support—say we are having an image issue—the support is not really up to the mark. It is difficult to get support... When we raise a case, their support people will hesitate to get on a call or a screen-sharing session. That is a major drawback when it comes to OpenShift."
"The tool lacks some features to make it compliant with Kubernetes"
"I want easier node management and more user-friendly scripts for installing master and worker nodes."
"If we can have a GUI-based configuration with better flexibility then it will be great."
"It would be great if it supported Bitbucket repositories too."
"The metrics in OpenShift can use improvement."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"This is a fairly expensive solution."
"The product could be improved for consistent user interfaces."
"Better connectivity to on-premise systems would help us to support older systems that are migrating to the cloud."
"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."
"One crucial aspect where SAP lags behind in flexibility is customization to suit specific business requirements. SAP needs to understand that customization is inevitable and should be more supportive of business-driven customization."
"I would like for it to have integration to GitHub."
"From what I understand, the SAP Cloud Platform is for implementation on AWS or Azure, and it's not meant to be a full-fledged cloud solution, so while using the platform, an area for improvement is that it has fewer offerings and is less flexible when compared to AWS. AWS has a lot more flexibility than the SAP Cloud Platform. I've also used Azure in college and AWS in between, and I prefer AWS over the SAP Cloud Platform. The only reason I would ever stick with the SAP Cloud Platform is to create applications integrated with SAP or with other companies within SAP, such as SuccessFactors. When you go into the SAP Cloud Platform web page, it's a bit bland and has relatively limited offerings. For example, there doesn't seem to be in-house MongoDB support, but I realize there's in-house support for the PostgreSQL database, so there are fewer offerings in the SAP Cloud Platform. Yes, you can always go for a database on the actual MongoDB server rather than depending on the offerings of the SAP Cloud Platform. However, it's still better to support MongoDB from the platform, so payment is consolidated, rather than going to a different location to make a payment. Another room for improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform is the need to create an SAP subaccount if you need to use the platform unless you have an SSO login by Google or if you're using a different identity provider such as Microsoft or Google. Instead of requiring dependency on SAP, it would be good if users could use the SAP Cloud Platform even without a subaccount on SAP. For example, when hosting an application on AWS or Azure, you don't have to create an account in Amazon or Microsoft. You can still do it using Google. You can use almost anything, so I'd like SAP to improve by removing the dependency, particularly the requirement to create an SAP account to use the SAP Cloud Platform."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."
