We performed a comparison between Google Kubernetes Engine and Mirantis Container Cloud 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 solution simplified deployment, making it more automated. Previously, Docker required manual configuration, often done by developers on their computers. However, with Google Kubernetes Engine, automation extends to configuration, deployment, scalability, and viability, primarily originating from Docker rather than Kubernetes. Its most valuable feature is the ease of configuration."
"On the tip of a command, you can scale in or scale out, and it offers every robust platform to implement DevOps processes for your automation solutions. The product fully supports the IaC concept."
"The solution is available across AWS, GCP and Azure and is seamless."
"The product’s dashboard is very intuitive."
"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."
"GKE's plugin management and configuration sync are excellent features. The amount of data it provides is good, and I've been able to integrate it with the things I need."
"Stability is perfect for me."
"Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) takes care of managing Kubernetes, including the main control plane. It also offers solutions for monitoring resources and handling external traffic, which is essential for us. Being a cloud-native solution, it relieves us from worrying about these operational aspects."
"Very easy solution to use as it is intuitive."
"If we compare legacy application support to Docker, it's a superior product."
"One of the most valuable feature is its scalability because it is easy to work with. Even though I haven't fully removed it before, it's simple to get started and develop further. It's comparable to working with languages like C++ and Python. Python. It is easy to understand and more user-friendly."
"The UI is very useful."
"I use Docker in combination with Kubernetes. Management of software packages is easy. It also can be done fast. Rolling out new software updates is smoother and faster due to Mirantis Container Cloud."
"The solution is scalable and we have plans to increase usage in the future."
"This solution has improved our organization with the agility, microservices approach, and scalable solutions for distributed systems."
"When you have Kubernetes, you can use Mirantis Container Cloud to manage your Kubernetes for easy access and security. It also helps you to manage your CI/CD system. It helps you to build a container-oriented developer workflow. So, if you're building an application in Kubernetes, it provides you with a Kubernetes engine."
"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."
"The user interface could be improved."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten."
"It needs to support load balancing."
"The console for this solution could be improved because it is very limited."
"Google Kubernetes Engine is less stable in some highly complex deployments with many nodes."
"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."
"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."
"There are a couple of things. Firstly, the vaultStore database within Container isn't as efficient as a standalone Container vault. This needs improvement."
"Integration with Windows is something that can be improved."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"I would also like to see more features inside Docker as well as more integration with different solutions."
"Areas for improvement are the privacy of container management and the documentation. In the next release, I would like to see best practices on how to manage distributed containers and networks."
"You need to have system knowledge to deploy the product. It should be improved."
"This product will only be useful if it can successfully run legacy applications in the cloud."
"Mirantis Container Cloud needs to improve its documentation."
