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."The solution is easy to scale."
"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 most valuable feature is the auto scalers for all microservices. The feature allows us to place request limits and it is much cheaper than AWS."
"Self-provisioning support saves a lot of time and unnecessary work from the system administrator who can use this time to run and monitor the infrastructure. For the developer, this means less time waiting for the provisioning and excellent flexibility for development, testing, and production. Also, in such systems it is easy for developers to monitor applications even after deployment."
"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)."
"Scaling and uptime of the applications are positives."
"Security is also an important part of this solution. By default, things are running with limited privileges and securely confined to their own resources. This way, different users and projects can all use the same infrastructure."
"OpenShift facilitates DevOps practices and improves CI/CD workflows in terms of stability compared to Jenkins."
"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."
"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"The dashboard provides pretty good clarity."
"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."
"The ability to expand it whenever required has been great — it's very simple."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"An enhancement to consider for the future might involve incorporating a comprehensive solution for CI/CD tailored specifically for OpenShift."
"Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible."
"OpenShift could be improved if it were more accessible for smaller budgets."
"There is no orchestration platform in OpenShift."
"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."
"We need some kind of a multi-cluster management solution from the Red Hat site."
"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."
"There are challenges related to additional security layers, connectivity compliance for endpoints, and integration."
"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."
"The product needs improvement for serverless native integrations. They should opt for serverless features as all the customers worldwide choose cloud-based products."
"The product could be improved for consistent user interfaces."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like for it to have integration to GitHub."
"When they innovate too fast, they end up confusing their customers."
"The price of the solution could improve."
