"Azure is stable. I don't have any problems with it."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Access Management and the PIN modules."
"There are a lot of things that we like about it. It is very easy to provision and configure. It is flexible and scalable."
"The support is responsive and dedicated to SMEs."
"Azure virtual machines are stand-out."
"The ability to create the actual resource on the private cloud is easy to manage with Microsoft Azure."
"It's a great solution. It's so customizable. Every user can create dashboards to suit their needs. We can create and share them with our teammates easily, too."
"It's been pretty useful in terms of migration and disaster recovery strategy."
"The developers seem to like the source-to-image feature. That makes it easy for them to deploy an application from code into containers, so they don't have to think about things. They take it straight from their code into a containerized application. If you don't have OpenShift, you have to build the container and then deploy the container to, say, EKS or something like that."
"The security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
"The stability has been good."
"The solution provides a lot of flexibility to the application team for running their applications in the container platform, without needing to monitor the entire infrastructure all the time. It automatically scales and automatically self-heals. There is also a mechanism to alert the team in case it is over-committing or overutilizing the application."
"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."
"Provides support throughout the whole platform."
"The scalability of OpenShift combined with Kubernetes is good. At least from the software standpoint, it becomes quite easy to handle the scalability through configuration. You need to constantly monitor the underlying infrastructure and ensure that it has adequate provisioning. If you have enough infrastructure, then managing the scalability is quite easy which is done through configuration."
"The most valuable feature of OpenShift is the containers."
"Microsoft Azure could improve by having the availability be 100%. Which is difficult, but not impossible."
"We would like it to be cheaper. As a customer, we always want to pay less."
"Maybe Azure could add an address code to create your analysis without SQL or Python because some business users don't want it to code. So it's good to have a service application that connects to the data lake to conduct analysis and simplify the business process."
"You don't get support from Microsoft very easily as compared to other solutions."
"Microsoft Azure can improve by adding more features for virtual machines, such as tier virtual machines."
"The security of the solution could always be much better."
"As compared to AWS, Azure can improve its functionality. In terms of the feature list, it is still lacking a bit as compared to AWS. AWS supports lots of types of operating systems, which Azure is still catching up with. Azure is mainly focused on the Windows system, and it is not yet there in terms of integration with other operating systems like Linux, Unix. Azure is slowly catching up."
"An issue I encountered was around the integration of Identity. I lost some important information and I would like to see improvements with this."
"Documentation and technical support could be improved. The product is good, but when we raise a case with support—say we are having an image issue—the support is not really up to the mark. It is difficult to get support... When we raise a case, their support people will hesitate to get on a call or a screen-sharing session. That is a major drawback when it comes to OpenShift."
"The solution only offers support for one server."
"OpenShift's storage management could be better."
"The whole area around the hybrid cloud could be improved. I would like to deploy a Red Hat OpenShift cluster on-premise and on the cloud, then have Red Hat do the entire hybrid cloud management."
"OpenShift could improve by providing the ability to integrate with public cloud platforms. This way we can easily use the services that these platforms offer. For instance, Amazon AWS. However, all the three major hyper-scalers solutions offer excellent DevOps and CI/CD tooling. If there was an easy way to integrate with them it would be beneficial. We need a way to easily integrate with the monitoring and dashboard services that they provide."
"We need some kind of a multi-cluster management solution from the Red Hat site."
"OpenShift can improve monitoring. Sometimes there are issues. Additionally, the solution could benefit from protective tools if something was to happen in our network."
"OpenShift could be improved if it were more accessible for smaller budgets."
Microsoft Azure is ranked 1st in PaaS Clouds with 190 reviews while OpenShift is ranked 4th in PaaS Clouds with 9 reviews. Microsoft Azure is rated 8.4, while OpenShift is rated 8.0. The top reviewer of Microsoft Azure writes "This helps us meet multiple requirements other PaaS solutions do not but there is a lot of room for improvement". On the other hand, the top reviewer of OpenShift writes "Managing infrastructure is easy because of self-healing and automatic scaling, but technical support is not up to the mark". Microsoft Azure is most compared with Amazon AWS, Oracle Cloud Platform, Google Firebase, Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Heroku, whereas OpenShift is most compared with Amazon AWS, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Oracle Cloud Platform, VMware Tanzu Application Service and VMware vRealize Automation (vRA).
