Pros
"Implementing the product has helped me monitor the parameters. I utilize tools like CloudWatch and AWS systems to track these parameters. If any issues arise, I alert our developer team to address and resolve them. The product helps to have a global file system. Also, it helps in data replication from region to region.""The product's most valuable feature is service discovery functionality. It is an excellent feature impacting cost reduction.""Performance is our top priority. So, if we need to deploy on a high-specification machine, we can choose it from the software. If we just need a low-specification one, we can just choose it based on the requirement handling software configuration.""Amazon EC2 Container Service is a stable solution.""The most valuable feature is the volume size they offer.""The solution is easy to scale and implement and provides performance monitoring and management tools.""What I really like about Amazon ECS is its simplicity and ease of use. Amazon also has really good security.""ECS is a useful platform."

Cons
"Since it is a managed service for container orchestration, it may limit our control over certain infrastructure functions.""Support could be better with response time and knowledge of staff.""The solution could provide more reliability.""The pricing could be a bit better.""There is room for improvement in the pricing of Amazon EC2 Container Service.""The solution can still be expensive, even with per-second billing.""Billing is extremely complex.""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."

"GUI lacks sufficient information to help with understanding the installation and process.""We need a backup of production clusters.""I would like to have more nodes for availability and storage.""I have issues with the product's interoperability.""There have been challenges related to software bugs, especially regarding long-term licensing options and issues within our customer network.""In the next release, I would like to have automatic dynamic scaling, both upscaling and downscaling.""The product lacks some virtualization capabilities, making it an area for improvement where the solution can focus on providing users with more virtualization capabilities related to disk systems.""Areas for improvement in Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE) include upgrading management capabilities and enhancing the user interface for improved usability."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I don't exactly deal with the pricing. We have a separate Infra team that deals with the pricing. They are more into the scalability part. Based on our requirements, the pricing will increase. The automation teams will test some of the benefits to see how can we can optimize the cost. They'll have a security manager connection and some alerts based upon the usage to see how to reduce the building cost based upon the installations."
  • "Our client is paying between $400 and $500 USD per month for this service."
  • "I don't know the exact amount we were charged for our use of ECS, but I do know that it can be costly, especially when there is a bug or an error caused by default configurations."
  • "The tool's licensing is monthly."
  • "The pricing is good."
  • "The solution's cost could be reduced."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price, I rate Amazon EC2 Container Service’s pricing a four or five out of ten."
  • "The platform is inexpensive."
