We performed a comparison between Google Kubernetes Engine and Qualys VMDR 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."We hardly have a breakdown. It's been very stable."
"The product has no downtime."
"Google Kubernetes Engine's most valuable features are microservices and its acquisition rate, which is very useful for scaling perspective."
"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."
"I am satisfied with the stability offered by the solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The reporting is fine."
"It's stable and quite reliable."
"There are many features. Its reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, and the richness of the information provided are the most valuable features."
"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"The process of defining and discovering scans is organized efficiently."
"This is one of the best products I have worked with so far. I like the power of Qualys, and it's a better solution because you can scan a compact file, a BIT file, or batch files. The product already knows what's happening inside, and you don't need to expand the package. Tenable will do the same thing, but you need to have a package issuance claim. With Qualys, we can immediately understand the file, even a compact file. If there's some kind of discovery or incident, you will know what happened in the environment."
"I find the most valuable features are the continuous monitoring. Even on premises, there is constant monitoring."
"Qualys VM has allowed us to know the vulnerabilities we need to prioritize based on the threat levels and the possible impact if there's an intrusion."
"The network configuration has to be simplified."
"An area in which Google Kubernetes Engine could improve is configuration."
"We would like to see some improvement in the ease of integration with this solution."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten."
"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."
"The notifications are not informative."
"Google Kubernetes Engine's cost should be improved because it is high."
"Certain integration factors between different options could be improved."
"Qualys VM should improve its methodology."
"Could use additional security for the app."
"I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"This solution could be improved by extending the agent capabilities to different operating systems including Mac and Linux. We would also like the capability to easily check for vulnerability in assets in the IOTs."
"Qualys could be improved in its overall performance compared to other vulnerability management or scanning tools."
"There needs to be better documentation."
