We performed a comparison between Kubernetes and Rancher Labs 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."If you're switching from VMs to Kubernetes, you will see a return because you can pack more into the Kubernetes architecture using containers rather than VMs. You'll see some more savings on your infrastructure, as well."
"The autoscaling feature is the most valuable. Kubernetes itself is an orchestration tool. It automatically detects the load, and it automatically spins up the new Pod in the form of a new microservice deployment."
"The most valuable feature is the Zero Touch Operations, which involves a new way of performing operations and support. We do not have to do maintenance, the operations are very simple."
"There are features that come out of the box with Kubernetes, with respect to scaling, reliability, etc. It's the leading container management platform. There are other competing ones, but this is the leading one. It has multiple instances of the application running. If one of them goes down, the other one automatically spins up."
"The deployment is one of the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a container orchestrator. It has a huge user base and it is easily incorporated into all of the public clouds."
"The most valuable feature of Kubernetes is the integration with other solutions, such as Formative and Grafana."
"A good interface, better than comparable solutions."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"This solution is not vendor-locked, which means that we we are able to use it across all of our resources; this feature is of great value to us."
"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 customized deployment process is the most valuable feature in Rancher Labs."
"The product is simple to use for a beginner."
"The scalability potential is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Rancher Labs is its user interface, which makes it easier to work with containers and deployment."
"The solution is stable."
"The lack of native support for billing and self-service capabilities is an area Kubernetes could improve. This requires the use of third-party integrations or managed services in order for customers to be able to deploy clusters on their own. It would be beneficial to have these features built-in into the Kubernetes platform."
"There is not a large ecosystem surrounding Kubernetes, making it difficult to identify the right problem due to the vast number of solutions."
"There are several areas where Kubernetes could improve."
"The price is something they need to improve."
"Security could be improved. It would be helpful if there were other security modules built into Kubernetes."
"Absence of a built-in feature for local API creation"
"They should make documentation simpler for learning."
"The front end is very rudimentary."
"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."
"I can't migrate to the newer version."
"If you have poor infrastructure, you will have issues with the tool."
"There needs to be an improvement in observability and microservice monitoring tools in Rancher Labs."
"They should improve application visibility along with code visibility."
"One area for improvement in Rancher Labs is the development aspect."
"Could be more intuitive."
"We'd like their monitoring tool to be integrated by default."
