We performed a comparison between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Red Hat OpenShift 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 is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Cloud are the ease of navigation and stability. The solution is more feature-rich and powerful than these smaller alternatives."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"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 of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."
"The initial setup was easy. It takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine."
"Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs."
"Its security is most valuable. It's by default secure, which is very important."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"It is a stable platform."
"Great integration with Jenkins for constant integration and development. Supports all the major languages and environments - PHP, Java, Node.js, Ruby, etc."
"Provides support throughout the whole platform."
"The security is good."
"It's cloud agnostic and the containerization and security features are outstanding."
"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."
"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."
"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
"The initial setup can be made easier and the technical support team should give faster responses. Oracle can introduce the VPN service that can be directly connected to the machine and perform work directly on the server. This feature can help users."
"I would like more technical expertise."
"There is room for improvement for stability."
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"The platform's documentation could be more comprehensive to cover the full spectrum of user needs. Sometimes, achieving specific goals is challenging due to a lack of detailed guidance."
"Latency and performance are two areas of concern in OpenShift where improvements are required."
"The interface could be simplified a bit more."
"My team has found some bugs in OpenShift due to continuous integration, and this is an area for improvement in the platform. RedHat should fix the bugs. Another area for improvement in OpenShift is that upgrading clusters can be challenging, resulting in downtime. Application support also needs improvement in OpenShift because the platform doesn't support all applications in the cloud. I'd like upgraded storage in the next release of OpenShift, especially when I need to do a DR exercise. It would also be good if the platform allows mirroring with another cluster, or more portability in terms of moving applications to another cluster."
"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 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."
"We need some kind of a multi-cluster management solution from the Red Hat site."
