The auto-scaling feature helps during peak hours, but the support is not great

The product has no downtime. Automated scaling is a valuable feature. During peak hours, the datasets are on a higher volume. We need scaling in place. Otherwise, there's a degradation in the performance. We might sometimes miss data, or there will be no data sync between systems. Auto-scaling helps deal with performance needs during peak hours. There's no lag time for processing data.

Effective cost management achieved with robust storage features but user experience and data management require improvements

HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is not user-friendly and has many parts that are more difficult than Cloudera. It is also a complex solution and has low features for data management. For example, it cannot make a data catalog or process data lineage without third-party support, which increases the cost for development.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I am impressed with the product's output scaling."

"The initial setup was very easy because it's like a Google platform as a service. It's just one button to set it up. The deployment took only a few minutes."

"Stability-wise, this solution is really good."

"Google Kubernetes Engine's most valuable feature is container deployment."

"The solution is available across AWS, GCP and Azure and is seamless."

"The most valuable aspect of Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is its managed nature, which significantly reduces the burden on our platform team."

"The most beneficial feature is the ability to separate each project and manage permissions more effectively."

"Its functionalities, such as computing the namespaces, clusters, pods, and restart logs, are easy to use."

More Google Kubernetes Engine pros

"If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."

"The stability of the HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is good, and I rate it an eight out of ten."

Cons

"I would like to see the ability to create multiple notebook configurations."

"There is room for improvement in the cluster updates process. Specifically, when managing both non-production and production clusters, we need a sequential functionality."

"The pricing could be more competitive. It should be cheaper."

"Our critique is that we have to do too much work to get the cluster production-ready."

"The monitoring part requires some serious improvements in Google Kubernetes Engine, as it does not have very good monitoring consoles."

"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The management UI could be improved. When looking at the web interface, it feels kind of slow due to the many features involved."

"Google Kubernetes Engine's cost should be improved because it is high."

More Google Kubernetes Engine cons

"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."

"HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is not user-friendly and has many parts that are more difficult than Cloudera. It is also a complex solution and has low features for data management."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for Google Kubernetes Engine could be lower - I'd rate its pricing at three out of five."

"Its pricing is good. They bill us only per user. That's nice."

"Currently, it costs around $1000 per month which sorted our deployment. So once we get more clients, having a huge suffix, costs can go up."

"It is competitive, and it is not expensive. It is almost competitive with AWS and the rest of the cloud solutions. We are spending around 3K USD per month. There are four projects that are currently running, and each one is incurring a cost of around 3K USD."

"I would rate Kubernetes' pricing four out of five."

"This is an open source solution, so there is no pricing or licensing."

"Pricing is a bit expensive compared to some other products, but it's acceptable."

"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price. The product is competitively priced."
