We performed a comparison between Google Kubernetes Engine and Qualys VMDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."The deployment of the cluster is very easy."
"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."
"Google Kubernetes Engine is used for orchestrating Docker containers. We have 30 or 40 customers working with this solution now. We'll probably see 10 to 15 percent growth in the number of customers using Google Kubernetes Engine in the future."
"The feature that I like the most is the ease of use as compared to AWS. Its ease of use is very high, and I can quickly deploy clusters with a simple template."
"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 initial setup is very easy. We can create our cluster using the command line, or using our console."
"The product’s dashboard is very intuitive."
"The scalability is the best feature."
"I like that we have many scanners and channels that don't overload. It helps us scan and track easily. Also, the tagging system is good for tagging. We can still use QualysAgent task ID tools even if tags aren't made."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Vulnerability management is the most valuable one and it’s a must in every organization."
"The most valuable features of Qualys VM are its ability to do proper vulnerability assessment. It has a lot of updates for all the vulnerability databases from all over the globe. It's an amazing solution when it comes to the versatility of the features it has. Additionally, the reports are very good. It generates very detailed reports about the vulnerabilities inside the environment"
"It's really beneficial for scanning and interacting with the agent."
"Qualys has a continuous endpoint monitoring feature for agent-based scanning. Once you deploy the solution, it monitors everything that is happening every 30 minutes. Then, if there are any vulnerabilities, they are reported."
"Provides great functionality."
"The Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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."
"The product could be cheaper."
"The monitoring part requires some serious improvements in Google Kubernetes Engine, as it does not have very good monitoring consoles."
"While the GKE cluster is secure, application-level security is an essential aspect that needs to be addressed. The security provided by GKE includes the security of communication between nodes within the cluster and the basic features of Kubernetes security. However, these features may not be sufficient for the security needs of an enterprise. Additional security measures must be added to ensure adequate protection. It has become a common practice to deploy security tools within a Kubernetes cluster. It would be ideal if these tools were included as part of the package, as this is a standard requirement in the industry. Thus, application-level security should be integrated into GKE for improved security measures."
"t is not very stable."
"An area in which Google Kubernetes Engine could improve is configuration."
"The product’s visible allocation feature needs improvement."
"We would like to see some improvement in the ease of integration with this solution."
"Qualys VM's machine learning and artificial intelligence features could be improved."
"We face issues while scanning multiple assets."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"When tested on Zero day, there were errors."
"It is more expensive vs. other products on the market."
"There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys."
"Qualys VM's vulnerability scan could be improved, especially the number of CVE numbers it can manage at a time."
"Improve the API speed."
