We performed a comparison between Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Red Hat OpenShift based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Palo Alto Networks, Wiz, Microsoft and others in Container Security."The most valuable features of PingSafe are the asset inventory and issue indexing."
"The user-friendly dashboard offers both convenience and security by providing quick access to solutions and keeping us informed of potential threats."
"With PingSafe, it's easy to onboard new accounts."
"The visibility PingSafe provides into the Cloud environment is a valuable feature."
"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."
"Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks."
"It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job."
"The agentless vulnerability scanning is great."
"The tool is budget-friendly."
"We like how easy it is to create the resources in this solution, thanks to how easy the UI is to use."
"Compliance is easy right out-of-the-box with integration to Azure Security, Azure Active Directory, and Azure Policies."
"The product has built-in functionality that checks whether the service is available or not. In case the service is down, the tool will create a new instance by default. Hence, the web API will be always up irrespective of the server or the situation."
"Has a good management feature monitored by the cloud service provider."
"The most valuable features of AKS are rollback updates, high availability, easy management, speedy execution and deployment."
"The serverless capability and auto scale feature are the most valuable."
"Azure Kubernetes Service is pretty robust in terms of scalability and auto-scaling fixes."
"This solution helps us to account for peak seasons involving higher demand than usual. It also gives us confidence in the security of our overall systems."
"It is a stable platform."
"The security is good."
"The scalability of OpenShift combined with Kubernetes is good. At least from the software standpoint, it becomes quite easy to handle the scalability through configuration. You need to constantly monitor the underlying infrastructure and ensure that it has adequate provisioning. If you have enough infrastructure, then managing the scalability is quite easy which is done through configuration."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"I like OCP, and the management UI is better than the open-source ones."
"There is a quick deployment of the application, and we can scale out efficiently."
"The most valuable feature of OpenShift is the containers."
"There is a bit of a learning curve for new users."
"While PingSafe offers real-time response, there is room for improvement in alert accuracy."
"When we get a new finding from PingSafe, I wish we could get an alert in the console, so we can work on it before we see it in the report. It would be very useful for the team that is actively working on the PingSafe platform, so we can close the issue the same day before it appears in the daily report."
"I want PingSafe to integrate additional third-party resources. For example, PingSafe is compatible with Azure and AWS, but Azure AD isn't integrated with AWS. If PingSafe had that ability, it would enrich the data because how users interact with our AWS environment is crucial. All the identity-related features require improvement."
"It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process."
"The resolution suggestions could be better, and the compliance features could be more customizable for Indian regulations. Overall, the compliance aspects are good. It gives us a comprehensive list, and its feedback is enough to bring us into compliance with regulations, but it doesn't give us the specific objects."
"When you find a vulnerability and resolve it, the same issue will not occur again. I want PingSafe to block the same vulnerability from appearing again. I want something like a playbook where the steps that we take to resolve an issue are repeated when that issue happens again."
"We recently adopted a new ticket management solution, so we've asked them to include a connector to integrate that tool with Cloud Native Security directly. We'd also like to see Cloud Native Security add a scan for personally identifying information. We're looking at other tools for this capability, but having that functionality built into Cloud Native Security would be nice. Monitoring PII data is critical to us as an organization."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Sometimes, it fails to provide specific metrics."
"The solution's logs have room for improvement."
"The initial setup of AKS is complicated. The setup depends on the cluster, nodes, and lots of other things. There are also lots of extremely critical small devices. Moreover, you will have to pay them even while setting up the solution. It is not like you setup first and then pay for it."
"It just loses out because you have less access to it programmatically, with less technical or customizable access."
"AKS could enhance its functionality by introducing a blueprint feature that streamlines and expedites the process. With a blueprint, users can leverage pre-defined configurations, including some common survey elements, reducing the need for extensive customization and allowing us to focus on our core business activities. Additionally, if the blueprint covers security aspects, it would be greatly beneficial, as it eliminates the need for us to build security expertise from scratch. Currently, we encounter challenges during cloud onboarding, security implementation, and adapting to Kubernetes. Although Microsoft may not consider these as their direct responsibility, providing a blueprint similar to what they offer to developers would be highly advantageous."
"One area that could be improved is the Azure CLI. It would be beneficial if they could abstract some of the complexities related to deployment scripts and make them a part of Azure CLI."
"AKS has the potential to enhance pricing by enabling us to explore ways to increase cost transparency. However, it's important to note that this refers to computation costs rather than client costs. Our objective is to optimize efficiency and minimize unnecessary expenses. Therefore, we aim to identify which services within the platform can benefit from improved consumption patterns. This is the focus of our ongoing research, with the goal of maximizing computational power within the cluster. We aim to avoid situations where resources are reserved but not utilized effectively. Additionally, our strong emphasis on security ensures that we adhere to all relevant compliance standards, bolstering our overall trustworthiness."
"The solution only offers support for one server."
"This is a fairly expensive solution."
"OpenShift could be improved if it were more accessible for smaller budgets."
"I want easier node management and more user-friendly scripts for installing master and worker nodes."
"OpenShift's storage management could be better."
"The monitoring part could be better to monitor the performance."
"If we can have a GUI-based configuration with better flexibility then it will be great."
"The interface could be simplified a bit more."
