"The most valuable feature of Amazon EC2 Container Service is its flexibility."
"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 most valuable feature for me in the OpenShift Container Platform is the option to manage different containers and environments and also being able to switch among them."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"The solution is stable. However, it depends on the integrations of the solution on how stable it will be, such as what tools you integrate with."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its scalability on demand, which allows for potentially lower costs, and Built-in resiliency."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and logging functionalities."

"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The product can become expensive if you don't choose what you want."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service needs to improve the menu design. It needs to improve deployment with better documentation."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service's security can be improved."
"The orchestration of the workloads running in ECS needs improvement."
"Visualization is an important factor for me, and I don't think that the visuals within ECS are good enough because it doesn't show you all the details you might need to see at a glance."
"Since it is a managed service for container orchestration, it may limit our control over certain infrastructure functions."
"The solution's user experience and management are really bad."
"The support costs are too high."
"The product's interface is a bit buggy."
"The monitoring and logging could be improved."
"OpenShift needs to improve their container storage."
"OpenShift has a pretty steep learning curve. It's not an easy tool to use. It's not only OpenShift but Kubernetes itself. The good thing is that Red Hat provides specific targeted training. There are five or six pieces of training where you can get certifications. The licenses for OpenShift are pretty expensive, so they could be cheaper because the competition isn't sleeping, and Red Hat must take that into account."
"We encounter difficulties while accessing the environment and managing the cluster. This particular area needs improvement."
"The setup process is not great."
"Another thing that bugs me is that they removed the software in NFS storage. I don't understand why because this is a common type of storage. I am having problems with that, so I wish they would put it back."
