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."OpenShift offers robust tools for monitoring application traffic, allowing us to analyze client requests and other business-related metrics."
"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 am impressed with the product's security features."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the great customer service and the ability for our team to get assistance when we need it."
"Overall, the solution's security throughout the stack and software supply chain is excellent."
"There is a quick deployment of the application, and we can scale out efficiently."
"The most valuable feature is the auto scalers for all microservices. The feature allows us to place request limits and it is much cheaper than AWS."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."
"Initial setup of databases is not a problem."
"They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."
"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the high level of performance for the databases."
"We are not using any features offered by OCI but only using virtual machines. So our data only syncs from our On-premises to cloud. The compute and performance are better than other cloud solutions."
"Oracle is a very useful tool in terms of usability and customization."
"This solution could be improved by offering best practices on standardization and additional guidance on how to use this solution."
"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."
"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."
"I want easier node management and more user-friendly scripts for installing master and worker nodes."
"Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible."
"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."
"We want to see better alerting, especially in critical situations requiring immediate intervention. Until we go to the dashboard, it can be challenging to quickly recognize that there's an issue for us to deal with. Therefore, a popup of the event or a tweaked GUI to catch our attention when it's alerting would be a welcome change. Everything else is good. We don't need any additional features. From the operations perspective, as an administrator, there is nothing concerning."
"The tool lacks some features to make it compliant with Kubernetes"
"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"The main issue for the clients is that they need to understand the credit payments because if it's a currency that's not dollars or euros, Oracle will always convert it into credits and that's not easy for the customer to understand at the beginning."
"The solution's scalability is an area with shortcomings...Mid-level customers feel that Oracle is not scalable in their environment and is an enterprise-level segment solution."
"I work with many clouds and I would say, in comparison, others have a better presentation of services and they have clearer steps in terms of implementation."
"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"What I'd like to see from Oracle Cloud is an option for the customer to have a single portal to manage and monitor not just Oracle Cloud, but some of the on-premise products in the hybrid scenario as well. If it can be shipped out as an out-of-the-box solution, that would be wonderful. It's not so easy, but for a company like Oracle, it shouldn't be a problem. Many customers go through a lot of effort and burn money to achieve this, so it's an opportunity for Oracle to provide it for customers looking for this type of solution."
"The solution should integrate better with other tools and different vendors."
