We performed a comparison between Google Kubernetes Engine and HPE Ezmeral Container Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."Google Kubernetes Engine is used for orchestrating Docker containers. We have 30 or 40 customers working with this solution now. We'll probably see 10 to 15 percent growth in the number of customers using Google Kubernetes Engine in the future."
"Stability-wise, this solution is really good."
"We hardly have a breakdown. It's been very stable."
"The most valuable feature of Google Kubernetes Engine is how you can automatically scale and load balance."
"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."
"The main advantage of GKE is that it is a managed service. This means that Google is responsible for managing the master node in the Kubernetes cluster system. As a result, we can focus on deploying applications to the slaves, while Google handles any updates and security patches. The fact that GKE is fully integrated into the Google ecosystem, including solutions such as BigQuery and VertexAI. This makes it easier for us to integrate these tools into our process. This integration ultimately speeds up our time to market and reduces the time and effort spent on managing infrastructure. The managed aspect of GKE allows us to simply deploy and utilize it without having to worry about the technicalities of infrastructure management."
"The scalability is the best feature."
"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."
"If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."
"The monitoring part requires some serious improvements in Google Kubernetes Engine, as it does not have very good monitoring consoles."
"While the GKE cluster is secure, application-level security is an essential aspect that needs to be addressed. The security provided by GKE includes the security of communication between nodes within the cluster and the basic features of Kubernetes security. However, these features may not be sufficient for the security needs of an enterprise. Additional security measures must be added to ensure adequate protection. It has become a common practice to deploy security tools within a Kubernetes cluster. It would be ideal if these tools were included as part of the package, as this is a standard requirement in the industry. Thus, application-level security should be integrated into GKE for improved security measures."
"There is room for improvement in this solution. For example, auto-scaling can be complex. We expect it to be easier to set up and manage, even for our customers."
"Their documentation is a little here and there. Sometimes, the information is not clear or updated. Their documentation should be a little bit better."
"Google Kubernetes Engine is less stable in some highly complex deployments with many nodes."
"The network configuration has to be simplified."
"An area in which Google Kubernetes Engine could improve is configuration."
"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."
"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."
Google Kubernetes Engine is ranked 9th in Container Management with 32 reviews while HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is ranked 16th in Container Management. Google Kubernetes Engine is rated 8.0, while HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is rated 7.0. The top reviewer of Google Kubernetes Engine writes "The auto-scaling feature helps during peak hours, but the support is not great". On the other hand, the top reviewer of HPE Ezmeral Container Platform writes "Easy to install with good support, but the deployment of applications could be simplified". Google Kubernetes Engine is most compared with Linode, Kubernetes, Rancher Labs, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Illumio, whereas HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is most compared with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, VMware Tanzu Mission Control and Docker.
