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."This solution helps us to account for peak seasons involving higher demand than usual. It also gives us confidence in the security of our overall systems."
"Two stand-out features are the security model and value-add features that don't exist in Upstream Kubernetes."
"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 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."
"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)."
"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."
"What I like best about OpenShift is that it can reduce some of the costs of having multiple applications because you can just move them into small container applications. For example, applications don't need to run for twenty days, only to be used up by Monday. Through OpenShift, you can move some of the small applications into any cloud. I also find the design of OpenShift good."
"The stability has been good."
"The solution is very useful and interactive with a dashboard for viewing other interfaces."
"The product is very stable."
"The solution is scalable."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"I found flexibility most valuable in the SAP Cloud Platform. It's a simple tool that's good even for first-time users."
"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."
"The solution needs to support the new features in Kubernetes more quickly."
"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."
"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."
"OpenShift could be improved if it were more accessible for smaller budgets."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"If we can have a GUI-based configuration with better flexibility then it will be great."
"The interface could be simplified a bit more."
"Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible."
"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."
"Speaking about the public cloud, it's a very rigid system. So, there is not a lot of customization possible in a public cloud environment."
"From what I understand, the SAP Cloud Platform is for implementation on AWS or Azure, and it's not meant to be a full-fledged cloud solution, so while using the platform, an area for improvement is that it has fewer offerings and is less flexible when compared to AWS. AWS has a lot more flexibility than the SAP Cloud Platform. I've also used Azure in college and AWS in between, and I prefer AWS over the SAP Cloud Platform. The only reason I would ever stick with the SAP Cloud Platform is to create applications integrated with SAP or with other companies within SAP, such as SuccessFactors. When you go into the SAP Cloud Platform web page, it's a bit bland and has relatively limited offerings. For example, there doesn't seem to be in-house MongoDB support, but I realize there's in-house support for the PostgreSQL database, so there are fewer offerings in the SAP Cloud Platform. Yes, you can always go for a database on the actual MongoDB server rather than depending on the offerings of the SAP Cloud Platform. However, it's still better to support MongoDB from the platform, so payment is consolidated, rather than going to a different location to make a payment. Another room for improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform is the need to create an SAP subaccount if you need to use the platform unless you have an SSO login by Google or if you're using a different identity provider such as Microsoft or Google. Instead of requiring dependency on SAP, it would be good if users could use the SAP Cloud Platform even without a subaccount on SAP. For example, when hosting an application on AWS or Azure, you don't have to create an account in Amazon or Microsoft. You can still do it using Google. You can use almost anything, so I'd like SAP to improve by removing the dependency, particularly the requirement to create an SAP account to use the SAP Cloud Platform."
"Better connectivity to on-premise systems would help us to support older systems that are migrating to the cloud."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"I would like to see more and better support for data transformations."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Shows errors without providing any analysis."
OpenShift is ranked 4th in PaaS Clouds with 53 reviews while SAP Cloud Platform is ranked 6th in PaaS Clouds with 38 reviews. OpenShift is rated 8.4, while SAP Cloud Platform is rated 7.8. The top reviewer of OpenShift writes "Provides us with the flexibility and efficiency of cloud-native stacks while enabling us to meet regulatory constraints". On the other hand, the top reviewer of SAP Cloud Platform writes "Provides seamless integration with CTI for streamlined data synchronization but complexity and challenges in migrating existing applications to the low-code model for custom application development". OpenShift is most compared with Amazon AWS, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Microsoft Azure, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Heroku, whereas SAP Cloud Platform is most compared with Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Mule Anypoint Platform and Pivotal Cloud Foundry.
