We performed a comparison between Google Kubernetes Engine and Kubernetes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 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 logs are important for detecting problems in our clusters."
"The product has no downtime."
"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."
"We appreciate that it is quite easy to set up a Kubernetes cluster in Google Cloud, using the managed services within this solution."
"I am satisfied with the stability offered by the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Google Kubernetes Engine is how you can automatically scale and load balance."
"Stability-wise, this solution is really good."
"The cloud-managed Kubernetes allow us to take care of a big system and deployment and container management without having a big operational team."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The performance is good."
"The solution has many valuable features but the most impressive is the ability to scale an application and continuously monitor if all the components of the application are functioning correctly."
"Kubernetes is scalable and the elasticity is sustainable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Kubernetes offers a lot of great features such as scalability and great portability of applications."
"Provides auto rollback and scale-up and scale-down functionalities."
"The user interface could be improved."
"I would like the solution to integrate with another Kubernetes product. I would also like it to monitor other platforms. It needs to also include scale-up container in the tool's next release."
"There is a limitation for our infrastructure. It's very complex to see in one dashboard all the components and all the behavior on performance. I am looking for some additional tools for that. If I want to check the disk or file storage, it gets complex. There should be an integrated dashboard so that we can manage everything through a single pane."
"The product could be cheaper."
"It needs to support load balancing."
"The product’s visible allocation feature needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Kubernetes is a complex solution. The product needs to be more manageable and user-friendly."
"There is not a large ecosystem surrounding Kubernetes, making it difficult to identify the right problem due to the vast number of solutions."
"The support could be faster at resolving issues."
"It would be great if Kubernetes could handle a level of data backup."
"The plugins could be better. That is one pain point we had, and we had to get in with many other open standards, like Calico networking and more."
"The setup and operation of the product should be simplified."
"Some Kubernetes technical support would be helpful."
"Kubernetes can improve by providing a service offering catalog that can be readily populated in Kubernetes."
