We performed a comparison between Google App Engine and 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."Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"The initial setup is okay. It's not too complex. Deployment took about one day."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"Google App Engine's most valuable feature is self-management. You do not have to manage the infrastructure underneath where all the functions are happening, such as load balancing deployment and version management, they are managed by the system itself."
"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"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."
"Scaling and uptime of the applications are positives."
"The most valuable feature of OpenShift is the containers."
"The security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
"The most valuable feature is the high availability for the applications."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five."
"The only concern is that there is a number of the offerings which are built on their own proprietary technologies. With some of the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."
"I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops."
"OpenShift's storage management could be better."
"There are challenges related to additional security layers, connectivity compliance for endpoints, and integration."
"This is a fairly expensive solution."
"It could use auto-scaling based on criteria such as transaction volume, queue backlog, etc. Currently, it is limited to CPU and memory."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"The tool lacks some features to make it compliant with Kubernetes"
"The operators need a lot of improvement, with better integrations."
"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."
