We performed a comparison between Google Kubernetes Engine 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."Stability is perfect for me."
"Google Kubernetes Engine's most valuable features are microservices and its acquisition rate, which is very useful for scaling perspective."
"We appreciate that it is quite easy to set up a Kubernetes cluster in Google Cloud, using the managed services within this solution."
"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."
"It's easy to manage and deploy. It's the best."
"The product has valuable security features. It can connect with multiple DevOps tools."
"The product has no downtime."
"The initial setup is very easy. We can create our cluster using the command line, or using our console."
"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 most valuable feature of Rancher Labs is its user interface, which makes it easier to work with containers and deployment."
"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 initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is its comprehensive support, easy resource scaling, compatibility with various OEMs, and seamless service integration."
"The customized deployment process is the most valuable feature in Rancher Labs."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is an open-source solution that is easy to deploy."
"A great UI with very good integrations."
"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."
"Our critique is that we have to do too much work to get the cluster production-ready."
"Google Kubernetes Engine is less stable in some highly complex deployments with many nodes."
"I would like to see the ability to create multiple notebook configurations."
"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."
"The console for this solution could be improved because it is very limited."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the cluster updates process. Specifically, when managing both non-production and production clusters, we need a sequential functionality."
"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."
"They should improve application visibility along with code visibility."
"We're looking for something that is even easier to use. It's a bit complicated."
"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."
"Could be more intuitive."
"The biggest room for improvement in Rancher Labs would be to have a proper upgrading plan."
"We'd like their monitoring tool to be integrated by default."
