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 most valuable feature is the high availability for the applications."
"We have found the cluster management function to be very good with this product."
"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 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."
"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."
"Its security is most valuable. It's by default secure, which is very important."
"Scaling and uptime of the applications are positives."
"Overall, the solution's security throughout the stack and software supply chain is excellent."
"The solution is scalable."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The HANA replications are very useful."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"I found flexibility most valuable in the SAP Cloud Platform. It's a simple tool that's good even for first-time users."
"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."
"Credential not hidden, so people on the same group can view it."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"The metrics in OpenShift can use improvement."
"Not a ten because it's not a standard solution and the endpoint protection user has to prepare with documentation or have training from other people. It's not easy to start because it's not like other solutions."
"OpenShift could improve by providing the ability to integrate with public cloud platforms. This way we can easily use the services that these platforms offer. For instance, Amazon AWS. However, all the three major hyper-scalers solutions offer excellent DevOps and CI/CD tooling. If there was an easy way to integrate with them it would be beneficial. We need a way to easily integrate with the monitoring and dashboard services that they provide."
"An enhancement to consider for the future might involve incorporating a comprehensive solution for CI/CD tailored specifically for OpenShift."
"This is a fairly expensive solution."
"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."
"While it was good for a small entity, it was not ideal for a large enterprise."
"Shows errors without providing any analysis."
"I've observed a few bugs in SAP. One recent bug I found in Content Modifier is that when using a predefined header to call the current date, it prints the previous date. These are small bugs I found."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."
"I'd like to see more local integration."
"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
