We performed a comparison between Microsoft Defender for Cloud and OpenShift Container Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It helps you to identify the gaps in your solution and remediate them. It produces a compliance checklist against known standards such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, iTrust, etc."
"Microsoft Defender has a lot of features including regulatory compliance and attaching workbooks but the most valuable is the recommendations it provides for each and every resource when we open Microsoft Defender."
"With respect to improving our security posture, it helps us to understand where we are in terms of compliance. We can easily know when we are below the standard because of the scores it calculates."
"It's quite a good product. It helps to understand the infections and issues you are facing."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the vulnerability assessments and the glossary of compliance."
"Defender is user-friendly and provides decent visibility into threats."
"Technical support is helpful."
"One of the features that I like about the solution is it is both a hybrid cloud and also multi-cloud. We never know what company we're going to buy, and therefore we are ready to go. If they have GCP or AWS, we have support for that as well. It offers a single-panel blast across multiple clouds."
"The most valuable feature for me in the OpenShift Container Platform is the option to manage different containers and environments and also being able to switch among them."
"Dashboards... give us all the details we need to see about the microservices."
"The product is stable, reliable, and easy to use, from a well-known company, has a large volume handling capacity, and more and more organizations are moving to OpenShift."
"The platform is easy to scale as it supports Windows worker node."
"Autoscaling is an excellent feature that makes it very simple to scale our applications as required."
"The most valuable feature is that the solution can be deployed in the cloud which removes the expense of a server."
"The usability and the developer experience. The platform has a centralized consultant that is easy to use for our development, operations and security teams."
"The best feature is the management for the port life cycle, which automatically recycles, pulls, and scales up and down based on needs and requests."
"The solution could extend its capabilities to other cloud providers. Right now, if you want to monitor a virtual machine on another cloud, you can do that. However, this cannot be done with other cloud platform services. I hope once that is available then Defender for Cloud will be a unified solution for all cloud platform services."
"Azure Security Center takes a long time to update, compared to the on-premises version of Microsoft Defender."
"The solution is quite complex. A lot of the different policies that actually get applied don't pertain to every client. If you need to have something open for a client application to work, then you get dinged for having a port open or having an older version of TLS available."
"The documentation and implementation guides could be improved."
"Pricing could be improved. There are limited options based on pricing for the government."
"Another thing that could be improved was that they could recommend processes on how to react to alerts, or recommend best practices based on how other organizations do things if they receive an alert about XYZ."
"If a customer is already using Okta as an SSO in its entire environment, they will want to continue with it. But Security Center doesn't understand that and keeps making recommendations. It would help if it let us resolve a recommendation, even if it is not implemented."
"The most significant areas for improvement are in the security of our identity and endpoints and the posture of the cloud environment. Better protection for our cloud users and cloud apps is always welcome."
"The solution needs to introduce open ID connect integration for role-based access control."
"Things are there and the documentation is there, however, there still needs to be quick guides available."
"OpenShift Container Platform needs to work on integrations."
"The product monitoring tool does not work for us."
"Getting the solution quickly and troubleshooting quickly are both areas where I think it needs some work."
"The solution does not work on a route-wise NFS."
"We've encountered challenges when transitioning applications between these environments."
"Whenever we onboard or deploy services that talk to Oracle Database, they take a lot of time to become active and serve the incoming request, so it would be good to see some improvement here. This could be an OpenShift issue or an internal network problem within our organization."
