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 solution provides a lot of flexibility to the application team for running their applications in the container platform, without needing to monitor the entire infrastructure all the time. It automatically scales and automatically self-heals. There is also a mechanism to alert the team in case it is over-committing or overutilizing the application."
"The security is good."
"Overall, the solution's security throughout the stack and software supply chain is excellent."
"The product's initial setup is very easy, especially compared to AWS."
"There is a quick deployment of the application, and we can scale out efficiently."
"We want to build a solution that can be deployable to any cloud because of client requirements and OpenShift allows us to do this."
"The security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
"OpenShift is based on Kubernetes and we try to use all the Kubernetes objects of OpenShift. We don't use features that are specific to OpenShift, except internal certificates for the services. The one feature that is missing from Kubernetes and that is really useful in OpenShift is the lifecycle of the cluster and the ease of installation. We use VMware and VMware integration internally with the OpenShift installer, which is very good. With OpenShift it's easy to spin up or scale out a cluster."
"The solution has plenty of features that are useful."
"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."
"We haven't had any issues with stability so far."
"The process and the workflows are amazing."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the CRM. Salesforce Platform comes with out-of-the-box capabilities."
"The product is pretty responsive."
"What we like the most about it is the fact that it helps us track the record of our projects. It keeps everything on one interface, facilitating the operations and planning."
"We use this solution to track customer activities, opportunities and contact information."
"The solution only offers support for one server."
"I want easier node management and more user-friendly scripts for installing master and worker nodes."
"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."
"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."
"There are challenges related to additional security layers, connectivity compliance for endpoints, and integration."
"This solution could be improved by offering best practices on standardization and additional guidance on how to use this solution."
"It could use auto-scaling based on criteria such as transaction volume, queue backlog, etc. Currently, it is limited to CPU and memory."
"An enhancement to consider for the future might involve incorporating a comprehensive solution for CI/CD tailored specifically for OpenShift."
"It could have a lot more customization options in terms of fonts and reports. There should be an even lighter version with just two or three fields. It could be a bit more light if the field guys want to use it on a mobile phone on the road. For deploying it for CRM, maybe we can have our customer database, project funnels, and projects to help us in managing our supply chain business."
"There needs to be more documentation."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"It may be slow, but that is relative. When compared to Siebel CRM, which was large, clunky, and extremely slow, Salesforce seemed fast to me."
"Technical support could be a bit faster."
"I want more analytics in the platform and the addition of AI-based models, for example, predictive feedback. The Salesforce Platform needs to be more intelligent and intuitive to make it a great solution."
"Salesforce Platform is a bit expensive compared to other CRM products, which is a drawback."
"Salesforce is incredibly slow. It was difficult to run live sales calls and leveraging Salesforce at the same time."
