"The solution has good performance."
"They handle the backup process quite well. They automatically encapsulate it, including container backups, without relying heavily on the client's involvement. This is a significant advantage compared to other providers where clients often need to manage the process more independently. It's a feature that I find suitable and beneficial."
"The tool helps us with maneuverability. Its most valuable feature is autoscaling."
"I like the per-second billing."
"It has an Auto Scaling group feature. We can use this feature to have an Auto Scaling group to specify a minimum and maximum count for all types of configurations. Based on the specified values, Amazon Elastic Container Service scales the required CPU environmental metrics."
"Overall, it is a user-friendly and efficient tool for managing containers."
"Amazon ECS allows users to deploy and manage container applications like microservices or web applications on Amazon clusters. It's easy to install and designed for AWS targets, serving as a serverless container platform. It offers features such as automatic scanning, load balancing, and service discovery to help users manage their container applications."
"The most valuable feature is that you don't have to maintain the infrastructure."
"Visualization is the most important feature."
"The most valuable features are that it is simple, and the compression of the data."
"It's a great product if you are in a Microsoft environment."
"The product makes things easier since it's self-managed. Therefore, there is less administration workload and operational costs."
"Microsoft Azure Container Service has a good level of stability."
"Storage is one of the most beneficial features of cloud providers, specifically Azure because when you are working in their cloud environment, you can easily use a storage interface and a storage object that is provided by Microsoft Azure. In a local environment, you have to be involved in establishing and setting up distributed storage file systems for containers which are very difficult and complex. In a cloud environment, you are not concerned about the storage and the dashboard provides you with storage objects with high availability."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The solution is expensive compared to other alternatives like Azure."
"The solution's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service’s initial setup is a bit difficult."
"We noticed a problem where our container doesn't always run, and the traffic in our secured license exceeds 100%, leading to increased container costs. We are working to understand and reduce this traffic to control costs."
"The product should improve its price."
"Probably, they should include automated graphing, and monitoring solutions."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service needs to improve the menu design. It needs to improve deployment with better documentation."
"I wasn't very impressed with the documentation."
"In terms of the container strategy, they need to make it more compliant with the Linux OS."
"Standard support could be more helpful and responsive."
"In the future, I would like to see it generalized and have the ability to better integrate with open-source tools."
"The customization is an area that needs improvement."
"f Microsoft Azure can provide GUI dashboards for end-users and administrators to work separately to manage all the Kubernetes clusters without a need to connect to Azure environments and through CLI it would be better."
"Since the product is fully managed, it is expensive."
