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."GKE's plugin management and configuration sync are excellent features. The amount of data it provides is good, and I've been able to integrate it with the things I need."
"The deployment of the cluster is very easy."
"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."
"We appreciate that it is quite easy to set up a Kubernetes cluster in Google Cloud, using the managed services within this solution."
"I am impressed with the product's output scaling."
"The initial setup is very easy. We can create our cluster using the command line, or using our console."
"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."
"Before using this solution, it was a lot of manual tasks and a lot of people participated in the process."
"The product's most valuable feature is cloud simulation to predict application behavior on the cloud."
"It is a stable solution. It is nearly perfect. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The UI is very useful."
"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."
"The initial setup was really easy and the deployment was fast and straightforward."
"Main products are portable."
"If we compare legacy application support to Docker, it's a superior product."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"I would like the solution to integrate with another Kubernetes product. I would also like it to monitor other platforms. It needs to also include scale-up container in the tool's next release."
"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."
"One of the things I missed a bit is the visibility and availability of solutions. If I compare it to a different solution, it is a bit behind."
"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."
"The monitoring part requires some serious improvements in Google Kubernetes Engine, as it does not have very good monitoring consoles."
"Google Kubernetes Engine is less stable in some highly complex deployments with many nodes."
"The pricing could be more competitive. It should be cheaper."
"The orchestration and tracing should be improved."
"In my previous years, I have brainstormed about the development of Container software. I have recently shifted focus, but the knowledge gained from those were really helpful. In my experience, Containers have their own complexities and to implement them, open source information is crucial. A software with new features would be beneficial. I suggest to implement a flow-based approach for container sequences, similar to Google Cloud's machine learning. The current process of deploying containers involves too many steps, and a more streamlined method would be appreciated. I've even automated deployment using APIs. Overall, simplifying container management and deployment processes would be valuable."
"There are a couple of things. Firstly, the vaultStore database within Container isn't as efficient as a standalone Container vault. This needs improvement."
"The solution would benefit in improvements made to the storage, cleaning up information from the disk, and reading logs."
"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."
"It would be very nice to have a GUI that can be used by any administrator, and not just people who have experience with Docker."
"This product will only be useful if it can successfully run legacy applications in the cloud."
"I find Docker easier to use, but I gave it to an inexperienced developer and it took him a lot of time to understand."
