OpenShift vs Stackato: What are the differences?

What is OpenShift? Red Hat's free Platform as a Service (PaaS) for hosting Java, PHP, Ruby, Python, Node.js, and Perl apps. OpenShift is Red Hat's Cloud Computing Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering. OpenShift is an application platform in the cloud where application developers and teams can build, test, deploy, and run their applications.

What is Stackato? Enterprise ready private PaaS based on the Cloud Foundry open-source project and Docker. Stackato runs on top of your cloud infrastructure, and is the middleware from which your applications are launched. Developers simply upload their application source files to Stackato via IDE or command-line. Stackato automatically configures the required language runtimes, web frameworks, and data and messaging services.

OpenShift and Stackato can be categorized as "Platform as a Service" tools.

Some of the features offered by OpenShift are:

Built-in support for Node.js, Ruby, Python, PHP, Perl, and Java (the standard in today's Enterprise)
OpenShift is extensible with a customizable cartridge functionality that allows developers to add any other language they wish. We've seen everything from Clojure to Cobol running on OpenShift.
OpenShift supports frameworks ranging from Spring, to Rails, to Play

On the other hand, Stackato provides the following key features:

Web console
Activity timeline
