Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is definitely the fact that you can use a single platform to deploy to different resource providers. Right now, the version I'm using has vSphere and AWS, but I know in the future they're planning on adding more. The ability to deploy clusters on-prem or to any number of public cloud providers is really valuable because you don't need to relearn or switch platforms to switch resource providers."

"The solution is easy to manage. You can get everything in a single platform. It is also easy to work with Terraform as a code.""We can do a lot of provisioning.""We can add some add-ons and plugins to the product if we need to.""The solution is embedded in the hypervisor and there are no deployment costs.""The product integrates well with our infrastructure.""The technical support is excellent.""The most valuable features of the Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE) are its simplicity and efficiency during the initial cluster creation phase.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons
"One thing that is a little bit annoying about Cisco Container Platform is that for each cluster you create you have to go through the same web form each time. If you're creating two identical clusters, you still have to go through that web form twice."

More Cisco Container Platform Cons →

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