We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS, OpenShift, and Oracle Java Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in PaaS Clouds."The stability is magnificent, it's spectacular."
"I like the auto-scaling functionality and compliance requirements, whichever they are requesting."
"The pricing model is good. It's pay-as-you-go."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its cloud storage and compute services."
"We've built several AI ML solutions and done lots of work on the GPUs available on Amazon servers. We did a lot of work around web spidering, natural language processing, and machine learning or deep learning workloads."
"Some of the introduced one-year and three-year reservations helped us reduce costs early on. With time, we learned how to minimize our at REST capacity, allowing us to scale up and scale down in near seconds."
"Elasticity has always been AWS's mandate. The flexibility of their platform from a systems perspective lives up to its claims."
"We pretty much like everything and we are excited about the seamless capability the EC2 service is offering."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"The stability has been good."
"Self-provisioning support saves a lot of time and unnecessary work from the system administrator who can use this time to run and monitor the infrastructure. For the developer, this means less time waiting for the provisioning and excellent flexibility for development, testing, and production. Also, in such systems it is easy for developers to monitor applications even after deployment."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"The company had a product called device financing, where the company worked as a partner with Google. It allowed customers to take mobile phones on loan or via credit. When we migrated those services to OpenShift in February last year, we were able to sell over 100,000 devices in a single day, which was very good."
"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."
"Scaling and uptime of the applications are positives."
"Its security is most valuable. It's by default secure, which is very important."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"There is a bit of a learning curve. That said, it's likely no different than learning any other cloud."
"This solution could offer more security."
"Its only cons are on the data warehouse side. AWS' data warehouse Redshift is not as good as it should be."
"I'd like the solution to be more plug-and-play."
"They can launch the Oracle service in Azure, and we expect that this should be possible in Amazon AWS as well."
"There are numerous use cases, and the setup varies from complicated to very simple in some cases."
"It's a good cloud, however, if I compare it with Azure, Azure is more of a feature-rich cloud."
"Some extensions are better than others."
"This is a fairly expensive solution."
"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."
"One glaring flaw is how OpenShift handles operators. Sometimes operators are forced to go into a particular namespace. When you do that, OpenShift creates an installation plan for everything in that namespace. These operators may be completely separate from each other and have nothing to do with each other, but now they are tied at the hip. You can't upgrade one without upgrading all of them. That's a huge mistake and highly problematic."
"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 monitoring part could be better to monitor the performance."
"The area for improvement is mostly in support for legacy applications."
"The solution needs to support the new features in Kubernetes more quickly."
"It would be great if it supported Bitbucket repositories too."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
