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."The most valuable aspect of this solution is the great customer service and the ability for our team to get assistance when we need it."
"I like OCP, and the management UI is better than the open-source ones."
"Overall, the solution's security throughout the stack and software supply chain is excellent."
"Valuable features include auto-recreate of pod if pod fails; fast rollback, with one click, to previous version."
"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 most valuable feature of OpenShift is the security context constraint (SCC). The solution’s security throughout the stack is good. And security context constraints provide port-level security. It's a granular level of control, where you can give privileges to certain users to work on certain applications."
"The stability has been good."
"OpenShift offers robust tools for monitoring application traffic, allowing us to analyze client requests and other business-related metrics."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the CRM. Salesforce Platform comes with out-of-the-box capabilities."
"The solution has plenty of features that are useful."
"One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment."
"Intuitive to work with and the overall fundamental of the platform is very strong."
"Salesforce is a phenomenal application. It's very diverse."
"It was pretty easy to deploy."
"The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."
"It is a fairly useful and user-friendly tool for salespersons. It is very extensive and flexible. You can customize it for your needs, and you can use whatever you want. I like Salesforce."
"The whole area around the hybrid cloud could be improved. I would like to deploy a Red Hat OpenShift cluster on-premise and on the cloud, then have Red Hat do the entire hybrid cloud management."
"I think that OpenShift has too many commands for running services from the CLI, and the configuration files are a little complicated."
"We want to see better alerting, especially in critical situations requiring immediate intervention. Until we go to the dashboard, it can be challenging to quickly recognize that there's an issue for us to deal with. Therefore, a popup of the event or a tweaked GUI to catch our attention when it's alerting would be a welcome change. Everything else is good. We don't need any additional features. From the operations perspective, as an administrator, there is nothing concerning."
"My team has found some bugs in OpenShift due to continuous integration, and this is an area for improvement in the platform. RedHat should fix the bugs. Another area for improvement in OpenShift is that upgrading clusters can be challenging, resulting in downtime. Application support also needs improvement in OpenShift because the platform doesn't support all applications in the cloud. I'd like upgraded storage in the next release of OpenShift, especially when I need to do a DR exercise. It would also be good if the platform allows mirroring with another cluster, or more portability in terms of moving applications to another cluster."
"One area for improvement is the documentation. They need to make it a little bit more user-friendly. Also, if you compare certain features and the installation process with Rancher, Rancher is simpler."
"It would be great if it supported Bitbucket repositories too."
"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 tool lacks some features to make it compliant with Kubernetes"
"Salesforce is incredibly slow. It was difficult to run live sales calls and leveraging Salesforce at the same time."
"The general reports could be made easier in the Salesforce Platform. Generating needs extensive training to know the exact structure of the design. Whenever you search for something you need to know what are the exact fields that you need to view. It's not an easy process to learn."
"Better flexibility in editing emails created from templates would be great, and being able to add hyperlinks in emails for scheduling meetings would allow us to automate more."
"The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows."
"The reporting functionality is not very intuitive."
"When we're documenting information such as notes, and so forth, if we were to go back to the same case all notes go missing."
"I don't have any notes for improvement. It serves us well."
"Pricing is the biggest factor. The cost right now is too high and I've had a lot of clients leave."
