We performed a comparison between Google Kubernetes Engine and Mirantis Container Cloud 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."
"I am impressed with the product's output scaling."
"The solution is available across AWS, GCP and Azure and is seamless."
"Before using this solution, it was a lot of manual tasks and a lot of people participated in the process."
"On the tip of a command, you can scale in or scale out, and it offers every robust platform to implement DevOps processes for your automation solutions. The product fully supports the IaC concept."
"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."
"The deployment of the cluster is very easy."
"Stability is perfect for me."
"Now it is easier to set up the development environment and also to test the applications on the pipelines."
"If we compare legacy application support to Docker, it's a superior product."
"The solution is scalable and we have plans to increase usage in the future."
"I think the volume binding is a really interesting feature."
"You need to make an architectural runway before actually starting to implement Docker Compose, especially in a distributed environment."
"The initial setup was really easy and the deployment was fast and straightforward."
"I like the automation in deployment. I can deploy whenever I want based on the environment, and I can easily roll back to a previous version for testing."
"This solution has improved our organization with the agility, microservices approach, and scalable solutions for distributed systems."
"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 tool's configuration features need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"With the Mirantis runtime being removed from Kubernetes, which is the industry-wide standard for orchestration of containers, I think it's going in a direction that is not super scalable."
"Areas for improvement are the privacy of container management and the documentation. In the next release, I would like to see best practices on how to manage distributed containers and networks."
"I would also like to see more features inside Docker as well as more integration with different solutions."
"The solution's stability could be improved."
"Sometimes the basic support is a bit difficult if you have a firewall and cloud servers behind the firewall and then try to implement the backup solution, it is a bit difficult to do by yourself."
"An improvement would be automated testing."
"Mirantis Container Cloud needs to improve its documentation."
"I feel that the product lacks to offer a proper health status of the images which are running, making it an area where improvements are required."
