Easily scalable
Openshift uses the PaaS instance/dyno model. It allows developers to deploy their code to a specified number of dynos. Each of these dynos is pre-configured to run a piece of the application that is hosted on them. For example, some of them can access the database, others can respond to HTTP requests or process background processes. Developers can define their processes and assign them a different task, this gives them granular control over their hosting service and performance of the application.

Official customer support is lacking
OpenShift seems to rely more on written documentation and on the community to solve any problem users may have. The forums and IRC channel are active and very helpful, but the official customer support could be better.

Can be used to introduce specialized tasks through the application hosted on it
Because of its high flexibility and customization power, OpenShift can be used to create specialized tasks for the application being hosted on it. For example, an entire array of dynos (also known as gears) can be dedicated to media transcoding in order to build a custom media converter infrastructure.

Small learning curve
Learning to use OpenShift is pretty easy. Most environments can be set up in a few simple steps and for everything else the official documentation and third-party resources are extremely helpful.

Can use Docker images and containers out of the box
Convox is built on Docker and deployments are made using Docker containers. Because of this, developers have a large number of existing Docker images to choose from with which they can customize their environment to suit their needs.

Only supports AWS
Convox is a PaaS that can be installed and deployed on existing AWS instances. There are plans to support other cheaper alternatives in the future, but for now only AWS is supported.

•••
Only pay for the hosting
Since Convox itself is a free and open source software, you do not have to pay for using it. Developers only have to pay for the cloud hosting itself (in this case AWS instance) where Convox will be deployed.
