Integrated cloud platform has streamlined app delivery and supported certified marketplace products
A potential area for improvement for Azure Red Hat OpenShift is to see managed identity support and ensure that some of the security features are not conflicting with Azure or Azure product features. I am sure in the future it will be more templatized so that we need not depend on Azure security features. Azure Red Hat OpenShift should be independent of Azure security features with respect to container scan and all that. Why would it use an Azure security feature? That is what I find. It is still yet to be GA and commonly available, but that is a strong reason for improvement.

Consistently beneficial with excellent accessibility although support's response time needs improvement
The features and functions of the SAP Cloud Platform are very good; the performance is improved when compared with the older versions. Earlier, we were using Oracle DB, and after HANA DB migration, it is fine. We are getting the reports, and processing time is also reduced. Almost all the features of the SAP Cloud Platform are fine and good. SAP Fiori has also entered into the picture, and we are developing the Fiori apps. We have started with the BTP for the new innovations as per the SAP roadmap. The main benefits of the SAP Cloud Platform for us are that earlier we had the primary data center at our place, but now we have shifted to the cloud. The maintenance is free for us; the maintenance is completely done by this SAP partnership with Cloud4C. We have started using the SAP Analytics Cloud, and we have developed many applications for SAP SAC. We are going to give the presentation to our chairman most probably next week. The analytics features positively influence decision-making for us. The SAP Cloud Platform has been effective for us because the processing time is reduced, and we can access it easily.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Red Hat is a very stable product with good integration with products such as Kubernetes, and it also offers migration tools."
"Flexibility, a very well-developed interface, and ease of learning are the most valuable features of Azure Red Hat OpenShift."
"In Kubernetes, when traffic goes out of a pod, it has to have its own IP address. Every service that's going out requires another IP. But with OpenShift, you don't have to deal with any of those IPs because they use NAT."
"As a consulting company, we implement Azure Red Hat OpenShift for our clients, who appreciate its integration capabilities for enhancing cloud operations. While we handle implementation, build processes, and automation, the operational responsibility lies with the customer. The service provides basic processes and support from Red Hat and Microsoft, which benefits clients by allowing them to focus on their business rather than regular operations like cluster upgrades."
"It supports AKS and other projects like Kubernetes or EKS."
"The solution's support and its automation tool that ensures we are secure and appropriately configured are the most valuable features of Azure Red Hat OpenShift."
"It has a feature to automatically scale up or scale down. If my application is running in peak hours, it will automatically increase."
"Technical support from Red Hat is very good."
"The product improved our company's business operations since we got value out of it."
"To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments."
"The most valuable features of the SAP Cloud Platform are the extensions and integrations. Additionally, there are a lot of AI-based microservices."
"I can vouch for the stability; it’s reliable, the performance is good, there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn’t crash or freeze."
"The most proficient feature of SAP Cloud Platform is integration for data services linked with Fiori apps."
"At the moment the most valuable aspects of the solution are the project management and finance features."
"SAP is quite a good company with good quality products, and I am confident this product is really good for the customers' business in order to integrate their businesses in the cloud environment."
"It’s great that we have the entire suite of SAP at our fingertips."
 

Cons

"Azure Red Hat OpenShift's support should be improved."
"Automation could be improved."
"One of the things to notice is that this product can be expensive."
"There is room for improvement in terms of orchestration. While Azure orchestration offers valuable features, it's worth noting that it may not match the level of orchestration provided by Kubernetes itself."
"Technically, Azure Red Hat OpenShift is fine. However, its marketing could be improved, especially when compared to the robust marketing efforts of Azure, HPE, and Nutanix."
"They need to improve the core licensing model."
"I would rate the technical support from Microsoft as six."
"The product is expensive."
"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."
"Reporting is confusing. There are three or four areas. One is the 4HANA SAP, then BPC reporting."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients."
"Everything is very expensive, so it is not helping with the infrastructure costs."
"Speaking about the public cloud, it's a very rigid system. So, there is not a lot of customization possible in a public cloud environment."
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
"We need to connect our ERP solution via the VPN. We need to make sure our ERP solutions aren't exposed to the outside world. Our teams really struggle with this."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Compared to other cloud environments like Amazon or Google, Azure Red Hat OpenShift is an expensive solution."
"Azure Red Hat OpenShift is not a low-price solution; it's expensive. Pricing depends on the strategy and whether you buy it directly from Red Hat or the Azure portal. Additionally, some customers may need a complete disaster recovery solution, which requires additional licensing and software products for implementation, such as backups."
"It is expensive compared to a similar product."
"SAP Cloud Platform is generally more expensive than the other options."
"SAP Cloud Platform is an expensive solution."
"The solution is worth the money."
"Licensing costs for this solution are based on the number of users and the bandwidth."
"The product's pricing varies and depends on the customers' needs."
"The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."
"SAP provides good discounts."
"SAP Cloud Platform Integration is an expensive product. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
