"The solution's technical support is good."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"It needs to provide an overview of model versioning control for the sake of the review process; better SCRUM board; an overview of model changes from the repository through Sprintr (SCRUM board). Also, a choice between versioning control system would be nice."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"Needs multiple database connections so an app can directly read/write data to/from multiple databases. This would enable easy splitting of big applications that have complex entity relationships."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"In the beginning, it is difficult to learn and work with."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"The solution needs to support the new features in Kubernetes more quickly."
"The operators need a lot of improvement, with better integrations."
"There is no orchestration platform in OpenShift."
"OpenShift could be improved if it were more accessible for smaller budgets."
"I want easier node management and more user-friendly scripts for installing master and worker nodes."
"There have been some issues with security, in particular, that we had to address. At times they make it “clunky." I am quite confident these parameters will appear in the next releases. They have been reported as bugs and are actually in process."
"An enhancement to consider for the future might involve incorporating a comprehensive solution for CI/CD tailored specifically for OpenShift."
"One of the features that I've observed in Tanzu Mission Control is that I can manage multiple Kubernetes environments. For instance, one of my lines of business is using OpenShift OKD; another one wants to use Google Anthos, and somebody else wants to use VMware Tanzu. If I have to manage all these, Tanzu Mission Control is giving me the opportunity to completely manage all of my Kubernetes clusters, whereas, with OpenShift, I can only manage a particular area. I can't manage other Kubernetes clusters. I would like to have the option to manage all Kubernetes clusters with OpenShift."
"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."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
