Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."Stability is perfect for me."
"Google Kubernetes Engine's most valuable feature is container deployment."
"We hardly have a breakdown. It's been very stable."
"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 product has valuable security features. It can connect with multiple DevOps tools."
"The solution is available across AWS, GCP and Azure and is seamless."
"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."
"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."
"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"Qualys VM's best features are vulnerability management and customizable scoring."
"Vulnerability management is the most valuable one and it’s a must in every organization."
"The process of defining and discovering scans is organized efficiently."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."
"I am impressed with the VMDR feature."
"The most valuable feature is the certificate management."
"Technical support is great and we've never really had a problem."
"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 pricing could be more competitive. It should be cheaper."
"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."
"The console for this solution could be improved because it is very limited."
"There is room for improvement in the cluster updates process. Specifically, when managing both non-production and production clusters, we need a sequential functionality."
"The monitoring part requires some serious improvements in Google Kubernetes Engine, as it does not have very good monitoring consoles."
"I would like to see the ability to create multiple notebook configurations."
"An area in which Google Kubernetes Engine could improve is configuration."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"Qualys VM could improve by having more skilled support personnel."
"It's not very user-friendly at times and requires in-depth understanding. So, a layman or someone new to Qualys won't be able to easily understand it. You need education to use the solution."
"Qualys should improve their customer experience. They need to improve the tech support experience and the turnaround time."
"Certain integration factors between different options could be improved."
"The reporting in this solution can be improved."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
