Featured Reviews

Adam Elguennioui - PeerSpot reviewer
SAP Consultant at SA&BC
Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer. In the future, the tool can be made faster. In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.
Adrian Bilauca - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Software Engineer at Totalsoft
Handles security setups independently for a more secure environment
OpenShift does have more secure features. Azure also has equivalent services. For my client, it was good enough to switch to Azure. For development, there wasn't any significant change in effort, however, for the DevOps team, it was a relief since Azure has managed services. We used elasticity and scalability all over.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"The framework supports auto-configuration. A lot of features are already there. It is reliable and user-friendly to develop code, back-end engineering, or locate specific information such as addresses."
"Fast, rapid and agile development and deployment of an ADF application (within Proof-of-Concept project) involves four developers in a distributed team (across two different time-zones) and through this they are able to cooperate quickly, without the usual problems of dev/test environment deployments."
"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."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"The most valuable feature of the product is being able to test on multiple platforms for Oracle, for VMware, and so on."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"For the DevOps team, it was a relief since Azure has managed services."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"I've used the elasticity and scalability all over."
"In general, customers appreciate its ability to run different workloads, manage applications through CI/CD pipelines like Jenkins, and leverage tools like Helm charts and Kako."
"The solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
"The deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud is the UI console. We are able to receive the resources from the console directly."
 

Cons

"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage cloud."
"Some of the automated platform patches broke our existing functionality and we were not notified about it."
"Customer service could be improved."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"It needs to have the ability to create a service with the same name as another one when the initial creation failed as sometimes it's necessary to have a service with exact name."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"At this point, I cannot recommend this to other users because of the experience that we have had."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"Many of the managed services are not accessible."
"The performance could be better; it's a bit slow right now."
"There is more work and effort needed for when many of the managed services are not accessible, especially in the security area. You have to do your own security setups as opposed to using a managed firewall."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"The effectiveness is satisfactory, and there haven't been any additional fees due to meeting demands. However, there's room for improvement in pricing, performance, and stability. Regarding the UI, it could be more user-friendly and integrated with various platforms. Currently, the UI lacks user-friendliness, especially for developers unfamiliar with container technology. Expecting them to create YAML files for security purposes is unrealistic without proper guidance or experience. This aspect needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"It is somewhat expensive."
"Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there."
"This product is not costly when compared to other vendors."
"The pricing is a little high in China."
