We performed a comparison between Aqua Cloud Security Platform and Google Kubernetes Engine based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud and Data Center Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most helpful feature of Aqua Security is Drift Prevention, which is a feature that allows images to be immutable. In addition, one of the main reasons we went with Aqua Security is because it provides strong protection when it comes to runtime security."
"The most valuable feature of Aqua Security is the scanner."
"The solution was very user-friendly."
"Their sandboxing service is also really good."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and manage."
"Valuable features include the ability to connect it to our Docker Hub where our images are stored, good integration with Slack, and the connection to the CV, to easily see which CVs are on each image."
"The CSPM product is great at securing our cloud accounts and I really like the runtime protection for containers and functions too."
"Aqua Security helps us to check the vulnerability of image assurance and check for malware."
"The solution simplified deployment, making it more automated. Previously, Docker required manual configuration, often done by developers on their computers. However, with Google Kubernetes Engine, automation extends to configuration, deployment, scalability, and viability, primarily originating from Docker rather than Kubernetes. Its most valuable feature is the ease of configuration."
"It's easy to manage and deploy. It's the best."
"The product’s dashboard is very intuitive."
"We used automation for the initial setup. It was okay. So it wasn't too complex."
"The product has valuable security features. It can connect with multiple DevOps tools."
"The scalability is the best feature."
"The most valuable feature of Google Kubernetes Engine is how you can automatically scale and load balance."
"The main advantage of GKE is that it is a managed service. This means that Google is responsible for managing the master node in the Kubernetes cluster system. As a result, we can focus on deploying applications to the slaves, while Google handles any updates and security patches. The fact that GKE is fully integrated into the Google ecosystem, including solutions such as BigQuery and VertexAI. This makes it easier for us to integrate these tools into our process. This integration ultimately speeds up our time to market and reduces the time and effort spent on managing infrastructure. The managed aspect of GKE allows us to simply deploy and utilize it without having to worry about the technicalities of infrastructure management."
"Since we are working from home, we would like to have the proper training for Aqua."
"Sometimes I got stressed with the UI."
"Aqua Security could provide more open documentation so that their learning resources can be more easily accessed and searched through online. Right now, a lot of the documentation is closed and not available to the public."
"I would like Aqua Security to look into is the development of a web security portal."
"The integrations on CICD could be improved. If Aqua had more plugins or container images to integrate and automate more easily on CICD, it would be better."
"We would like to see an improvement in the overview visibility that this solution offers."
"The user interface could be improved, especially in terms of organization and clarity."
"In the next release, Aqua Security should add the ability to automatically send reports to customers."
"The solution does not have a visual interface."
"There are some security issues, but it might just be because we are not up to speed yet as much as we should be and so we haven't found it in the documentation yet. That's why I don't want to confuse this. Still, it could be a little bit easier to understand and implement."
"The user interface is a bit confusing sometimes. You need to navigate between the various consoles we have. It's hard to figure out where things are. It's frustrating. The documentation could be a bit better."
"The monitoring part requires some serious improvements in Google Kubernetes Engine, as it does not have very good monitoring consoles."
"t is not very stable."
"There is room for improvement in the cluster updates process. Specifically, when managing both non-production and production clusters, we need a sequential functionality."
"I use the Firebase tool with GKE and it would be helpful if the solution can give notifications when we reach the budget limit."
"Their documentation is a little here and there. Sometimes, the information is not clear or updated. Their documentation should be a little bit better."
Aqua Cloud Security Platform is ranked 12th in Cloud and Data Center Security with 16 reviews while Google Kubernetes Engine is ranked 9th in Container Management with 32 reviews. Aqua Cloud Security Platform is rated 8.0, while Google Kubernetes Engine is rated 8.0. The top reviewer of Aqua Cloud Security Platform writes "A robust and cost-effective solution, excelling in scalability, on-premises support, and responsive technical support, making it well-suited for enterprises navigating stringent regulatory environment". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Google Kubernetes Engine writes "The auto-scaling feature helps during peak hours, but the support is not great".
