We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and OpenShift based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Amazon AWS comes out on top in this comparison. Our reviewers agree that Amazon AWS is a high-performing and feature-rich solution with excellent customer support. OpenShift did come out on top in the Ease of Deployment category.
"The product is reliable and quite stable."
"It's very stable and the performance is good."
"The best features are flexibility and cost."
"In general, the cost management in Amazon is complicated. It's not too straightforward."
"The compute and the elasticness of the compute is really great. Whenever there's a load, it automatically adds the servers and then reduces the servers based on the configuration. This is really wonderful, more cost-effective, and it's been really good for us."
"Easy to deploy through the channel model for serverless architecture and easy to integrate through the organization model."
"It scales well and is flexible."
"The main feature that I like the most is the variety of solutions that it provides. It provides some analysis, business information and more. It provides a wide variety of services."
"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."
"Key features are WildFly, because it standardizes infrastructure and the git repository and docker. Git is essential for source code and Docker for infrastructure."
"Excellent GUI support, so one does not need to use the command line client for almost any tasks. Great support for building images directly from Git repositories with hooks."
"Provides support throughout the whole platform."
"I have seen a return on investment, and it depends upon the types and the nature of some of the most critical applications that have been hosted on the OpenShift infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the high availability for the applications."
"We want to build a solution that can be deployable to any cloud because of client requirements and OpenShift allows us to do this."
"Its interface is good. The other part is the seamless integration with the stack that I have. Because my stack is mostly of Red Hat, which is running on top of VMware virtualization, I have had no issues with integrating both of these and trying to install them. We had a seamless integration with the other non-Red Hat products as well."
"There's not much room for improvement but that being said, they can improve the overall process of the overall product features and backend."
"There is a feature called Kinesis, which has to do with image processing. There are a few artificial intelligence tools that Amazon AWS should improve on."
"Instead of using some third-party solutions, Amazon should include them as part of its offering."
"There are some limitations for certain applications that happen regionally and it is an issue for us."
"We have had some difficulty figuring out how to monitor how many EC2 instances have been networked into our entire enterprise. We usually try to create a diagram outside of AWS. The types of information we are trying to determine are, for example, what hardware devices are interconnected, and when was the interconnection made."
"I generally don't like the user experience of Amazon. It's not the best."
"It's sometimes a challenge to manage billing on this platform. It takes a lot of labor to generate billing for our customers from the service on the cloud."
"Accessing apps on AWS via my iPhone is awful."
"It would be great if it supported Bitbucket repositories too."
"The metrics in OpenShift can use improvement."
"This solution could be improved by offering best practices on standardization and additional guidance on how to use this solution."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"The interface could be simplified a bit more."
"It could use auto-scaling based on criteria such as transaction volume, queue backlog, etc. Currently, it is limited to CPU and memory."
"Credential not hidden, so people on the same group can view it."
"The operators need a lot of improvement, with better integrations."
