Find out in this report how the two Container Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is simple to access."
"What I really like about Amazon ECS is its simplicity and ease of use. Amazon also has really good security."
"I like the per-second billing."
"The production environment is highly available, which nowadays is a requirement for all of the big companies."
"Scalability and availability are the most valuable features of Amazon Elastic Container Service."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service is a stable solution."
"The product's most valuable feature is service discovery functionality. It is an excellent feature impacting cost reduction."
"Overall, it is a user-friendly and efficient tool for managing containers."
"I am impressed with the product's output scaling."
"The features are typical Kubernetes, but Google One offers a better GUI-based deployment. It's more sophisticated and integrates well with other services, providing a better customer experience."
"On the tip of a command, you can scale in or scale out, and it offers every robust platform to implement DevOps processes for your automation solutions. The product fully supports the IaC concept."
"The feature that I like the most is the ease of use as compared to AWS. Its ease of use is very high, and I can quickly deploy clusters with a simple template."
"Before using this solution, it was a lot of manual tasks and a lot of people participated in the process."
"The initial setup was very easy because it's like a Google platform as a service. It's just one button to set it up. The deployment took only a few minutes."
"The deployment of the cluster is very easy."
"It's easy to manage and deploy. It's the best."
"I would like the product to improve integration with different platforms."
"In the next release, they could add some customization options for high computer workloads."
"While it is generally stable, there have been some issues, especially when working on client projects where troubleshooting was needed."
"The solution's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service should include more enterprise project management features, typically available in an OpenShift environment."
"I rate the platform's stability an eight out of ten. It easily dies."
"The existing domain-joined capability the solution provides during the initial boot-up of the compute should be streamlined and made a little robust."
"I think that it would help if the vendor provided more use cases and explanations as to how ECS can be utilized."
"One of the things I missed a bit is the visibility and availability of solutions. If I compare it to a different solution, it is a bit behind."
"There are some security issues, but it might just be because we are not up to speed yet as much as we should be and so we haven't found it in the documentation yet. That's why I don't want to confuse this. Still, it could be a little bit easier to understand and implement."
"I think that security is an important point, and there should be additional features for the evaluation of data in containers that will create a more secure environment for usage in multi-parent models."
"Our critique is that we have to do too much work to get the cluster production-ready."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten."
"The tool's configuration features need improvement."
"The user interface is a bit confusing sometimes. You need to navigate between the various consoles we have. It's hard to figure out where things are. It's frustrating. The documentation could be a bit better."
"The product could be cheaper."
