Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Google and others in Containers as a Service (CaaS)."What I really like about Amazon ECS is its simplicity and ease of use. Amazon also has really good security."
"In seven years, we have not faced a single second of downtime."
"The containerization is a valuable feature for us."
"We use the product for website and email database hosting."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The cloud services are readily available."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service is more stable."
"They handle the backup process quite well. They automatically encapsulate it, including container backups, without relying heavily on the client's involvement. This is a significant advantage compared to other providers where clients often need to manage the process more independently. It's a feature that I find suitable and beneficial."
"It's a great product if you are in a Microsoft environment."
"The most valuable features are that it is simple, and the compression of the data."
"The most valuable feature is that you don't have to maintain the infrastructure."
"The product makes things easier since it's self-managed. Therefore, there is less administration workload and operational costs."
"Storage is one of the most beneficial features of cloud providers, specifically Azure because when you are working in their cloud environment, you can easily use a storage interface and a storage object that is provided by Microsoft Azure. In a local environment, you have to be involved in establishing and setting up distributed storage file systems for containers which are very difficult and complex. In a cloud environment, you are not concerned about the storage and the dashboard provides you with storage objects with high availability."
"Visualization is the most important feature."
"Microsoft Azure Container Service has a good level of stability."
"The solution's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution’s UI should be improved."
"The product should improve its price."
"The documentation and usage for the users can be better because for new users it can be very hard to understand and use the solution. They can add small images and accessories."
"The solution needs to be more usable."
"I also believe there are limitations in terms of upgrading. The software has the concept of dedicated servers that you can manage. However, an issue arises when you can't match one operating system with another that you've already purchased. You can't simply merge them; instead, you have to buy a completely new one. This limitation has caused some challenges for us."
"My company has faced some stability issues with Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"Billing is extremely complex."
"In terms of the container strategy, they need to make it more compliant with the Linux OS."
"Since the product is fully managed, it is expensive."
"In the future, I would like to see it generalized and have the ability to better integrate with open-source tools."
"f Microsoft Azure can provide GUI dashboards for end-users and administrators to work separately to manage all the Kubernetes clusters without a need to connect to Azure environments and through CLI it would be better."
"Standard support could be more helpful and responsive."
"I wasn't very impressed with the documentation."
"The customization is an area that needs improvement."
