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."It's quick and easy to have the solution working."
"ECS is a useful platform."
"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."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service is a stable solution."
"Scalability and availability are the most valuable features of Amazon Elastic Container Service."
"The tool helps us with maneuverability. Its most valuable feature is autoscaling."
"The most valuable feature is the volume size they offer."
"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 of the solution is that it is an open-source solution that is easy to deploy."
"Rancher Labs is a very user-friendly tool."
"The tool's UI is very convenient enough to help you manage multiple clusters in the cloud or the company, making it a product with which you can manage different clusters and locations."
"The most valuable feature is its comprehensive support, easy resource scaling, compatibility with various OEMs, and seamless service integration."
"The product is simple to use for a beginner."
"The solution has a lot of good features, such as you can access the console and edit through the GUI. The dashboard and the UI are designed well, user-friendly, and easy to manage, and access."
"The scalability potential is very good."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"The existing domain-joined capability the solution provides during the initial boot-up of the compute should be streamlined and made a little robust."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"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."
"After the load balancer gets attached to Amazon Elastic Container Service clusters, I can't modify, remove, or replace it later."
"The documentation and usage for the users can be better because for new users it can be very hard to understand and use the solution. They can add small images and accessories."
"The solution needs to improve backup and pricing."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service's security can be improved."
"The solution’s UI should be improved."
"There needs to be an improvement in observability and microservice monitoring tools in Rancher Labs."
"While Rancher Labs provides some level of security, it's not considered very robust."
"The solution could improve by adding more features in the dashboard, such as monitoring, scanning, and security. This would be a great benefit."
"We have found that the auto-secure feature of this solution doesn't always work, and could be improved to be more reliable, particularly when working with business critical applications."
"We're looking for something that is even easier to use. It's a bit complicated."
"One area for improvement in Rancher Labs is the development aspect."
"We'd like their monitoring tool to be integrated by default."
"The biggest room for improvement in Rancher Labs would be to have a proper upgrading plan."
