User interface simplifies task management with easy issue identification and quick resolutions
We don't currently need third-party solutions because Red Hat provides security through RH-ACM. This Red Hat product helps us identify vulnerabilities in Pods, YAML files, and other components. When we encounter vulnerability issues, we raise tickets, implement Red Hat's solutions, and close the tickets. OpenShift is predominantly implemented in banking sectors. Banking sectors require Enterprise edition platforms due to RBI guidelines. While small-scale industries might use Kubernetes on AWS platform, major banks such as SBI and Central Bank of India prefer OpenShift for its Enterprise edition status and comprehensive support from Red Hat. IPI setup is straightforward, but air gap environment setup is more challenging as it requires configuring HAProxy, DNS, manual DNS server, creating ignition files, downloading images, and creating separate repositories. Regarding competition, based on my knowledge, OpenShift has limited competitors apart from Red Hat. IBM has acquired Red Hat for OpenShift, and they run OpenShift on their Linux platform, making IBM the primary competitor. This product deserves a rating of 10 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Viva Insights is integrated with Outlook and SharePoint. It helps me to reply and attend all scheduled meetings."
"I feel SAP HCM is very competitive and worth the investment given its capability to integrate modules and provide comprehensive value."
"The tool's best feature is SAP SuccessFactors."
"It is a pretty stable solution."
"The stability of the solution is pretty good overall."
"SAP HCM is a competitive and comprehensive tool that covers major programs in the enterprise and supports the global process."
"The localization packages and, of late, the Rapid Deployment Solutions have proved to be immensely time saving and thus have made SAP implementations monetarily viable for the SME sector."
"SAP HCM has valuable features for analytics data management."
"Integration with all business processes, standard features, flexibility in configuration, full scalability."
 

Cons

"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
"The solution is rather expensive."
"On the personnel administration side, it's very difficult to do custom development."
"SAP HCM's long and tedious transactions can be improved."
"The setup comes with a set of challenges as well."
"Managing changes in applications can be challenging since it complicates testing and unit testing, resulting in longer testing phases. This time-consuming process often leaves little room for actual work."
"Scalability can be challenging from a cost perspective. If a company has the budget, they opt for the enterprise level."
"The payroll area for managing employee salaries has room for improvement; Payroll area for managing employee salary, regarding SAP HCM system, is an area with complex issues because Italian tax and labor legislation and regulations are often changed; so several implementations of this module need custom integration from a consultant."
"We find some challenges in the integration between SAP HCM and SAP SuccessFactors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is expensive."
"The pricing depends upon the specific model and number of user accounts included in a bundle."
"Be careful and guard against future changes in licensing."
"The terms on which you buy licenses might change due to the way they license in a particular product."
"SAP is expensive, but if you're using the product, then the expensive product becomes inexpensive. Considering its performance and features, I find it quite reasonable."
"The solution is a little expensive and we are charged per user for the license. The solution can be paid monthly or annually."
"The pricing is around the middle, at a five out of ten. But it depends on the number of licenses. More licenses mean lower per-user costs. You need to understand how to play the volume game and the growth."
"We purchase the product's yearly license."
