We performed a comparison between OpenShift and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) 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."Scaling and uptime of the applications are positives."
"It is a stable platform."
"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."
"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."
"Key features are WildFly, because it standardizes infrastructure and the git repository and docker. Git is essential for source code and Docker for infrastructure."
"In terms of implementation, OpenShift is very user-friendly, which is an advantage. We are using it along with GitLab for implementing CI/CD pipelines. That's a feature that other products also have, but in OpenShift, we find it good."
"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."
"OpenShift offers more stability than Kubernetes."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."
"The pricing isn't too bad."
"They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."
"I have found Oracle Cloud to be a scalable solution."
"The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple...It is a scalable solution."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring."
"I am impressed with the tool's upscaling and resiliency features."
"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."
"Needs work on volume handling (although this is already better with GlusterFS). Security (SSSD) would also be an improvement."
"It would be great if it supported Bitbucket repositories too."
"Room for improvement is around the offerings that come as a bundle with the container platform. The packaging of the platform should be done such that customers do not have to purchase additional licenses."
"The latest 4.0 version of OpenShift disabled a few of the features we previously made use of, although this wasn't a huge deal."
"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."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"Credential not hidden, so people on the same group can view it."
"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."
"Amazon AWS has a better solution overall."
"The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."
"Oracle Cloud could be improved with better third-party integrations."
"Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."
"Lacking in additional PaaS services."
