We performed a comparison between Google Kubernetes Engine and Kubernetes 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."It's easy to manage and deploy. It's the best."
"The product has no downtime."
"Google Kubernetes Engine's most valuable feature is container deployment."
"We hardly have a breakdown. It's been very stable."
"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."
"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."
"I am satisfied with the stability offered by the solution."
"The solution is more user-friendly than AWS or Azure. I can also easily scale out the service in the future when the number of customers grows. GKE is the leader of Kubernetes service and it can be easily updated. I love the tool's user interfaces."
"There are many good features. I feel that the scale-out features, like replica sets, are very good. The number of running containers can be autoscaled."
"Kubernetes provides scalable clustering for containers and other means of deployment."
"The most valuable features of Kubernetes have been autoscaling and its resilience mechanisms."
"The most valuable features of Kubernetes are the integration with Docker and there is plenty of documentation available. We work with Docker as a container, and it is more integrated with Docker than VMware Tanzu."
"It is a very good solution for deploying microservices in an application. It has a lot of freedom in it, which makes it very interesting. It is also web-enabled. You can run services in other virtual applications and virtual machines."
"The most valuable feature of Kubernetes is automation. It is the best tool for automation."
"The most valuable feature of Kubernetes is the integration with other solutions, such as Formative and Grafana."
"The self-serving feature allows our developers to grab a container and complete testing."
"It needs to support load balancing."
"The monitoring part requires some serious improvements in Google Kubernetes Engine, as it does not have very good monitoring consoles."
"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 would like to see some improvement in the ease of integration with this solution."
"There is a limitation for our infrastructure. It's very complex to see in one dashboard all the components and all the behavior on performance. I am looking for some additional tools for that. If I want to check the disk or file storage, it gets complex. There should be an integrated dashboard so that we can manage everything through a single pane."
"I would like to see the ability to create multiple notebook configurations."
"The pricing could be more competitive. It should be cheaper."
"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 solution can be quite complex for many users."
"Lacks some scalability and more user-friendly operability."
"There is not a large ecosystem surrounding Kubernetes, making it difficult to identify the right problem due to the vast number of solutions."
"Security could be improved. It would be helpful if there were other security modules built into Kubernetes."
"The management needs to be improved."
"Kubernetes is a bit complex, and there's a steep learning curve. At the same time, I cannot imagine how it could be easier. You need many add-ons to it, and the commercial releases of Kubernetes should address that."
"We would like to see more validation tools added to this solution, this would provide pre-deployment analysis that developers could use before publishing their infrastructure."
"Kubernetes could improve security. The security is really hard to deploy with proxies and other elements. Additionally, We have had some issues downloading repos and libraries."
Google Kubernetes Engine is ranked 9th in Container Management with 32 reviews while Kubernetes is ranked 4th in Container Management with 73 reviews. Google Kubernetes Engine is rated 8.0, while Kubernetes is rated 8.6. 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 Kubernetes writes "Container orchestrator that deploys our machine learning solutions". Google Kubernetes Engine is most compared with Linode, Rancher Labs, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, VMware Tanzu Mission Control and Amazon Elastic Container Service, whereas Kubernetes is most compared with VMware Tanzu Mission Control, Nutanix Kubernetes Engine NKE, Amazon EKS, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and HPE Ezmeral Container Platform.
