We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure 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."It's a cloud service, so it's always up to date."
"Technical support has been extremely helpful."
"Azure is very flexible."
"The redundancy across different regions is the most valuable. It provides a big value for cloud services, especially for Microsoft."
"The solution is very stable for Windows setups."
"It's been pretty useful in terms of migration and disaster recovery strategy."
"We find that it is easy to integrate with other Microsoft technologies such as Microsoft Office."
"The most valuable features of the solution are for management, such as dashboards."
"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."
"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 solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"The deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"We need more customization and support for doing so."
"The solution could improve by providing a better user interface and more organized workflows."
"Customer services and support should be improved. If a user faces challenges in accessing Microsoft Azure, the support team takes time—it could be 24 to 48 hours—to resolve them. We need solutions in four to five hours. And there are business-critical issues where we need an immediate resolution."
"Integrate as a service. A lot of Microsoft software licensing options aren’t yet in Azure. Also, the ability to integrate with other technologies, such as other options on the market based on RISC Technologies."
"The integration pipeline could be a bit more broad in terms of applications."
"The solution is less mature than AWS."
"Maybe Azure could add an address code to create your analysis without SQL or Python because some business users don't want it to code. So it's good to have a service application that connects to the data lake to conduct analysis and simplify the business process."
"I would like to see the console improved."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"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."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."
