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.

Easy to install with good support, but the deployment of applications could be simplified

If a customer is focused on application modernization or CI/CD, there are some weaknesses. The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved. There are some issues with the integration of Kubernetes. I hope they can improve it and do much better than they do now. I would like to see the deployment of applications simplified.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is more user-friendly than AWS or Azure. I can also easily scale out the service in the future when the number of customers grows. GKE is the leader of Kubernetes service and it can be easily updated. I love the tool's user interfaces."

"We appreciate that it is quite easy to set up a Kubernetes cluster in Google Cloud, using the managed services within this solution."

"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."

"Before using this solution, it was a lot of manual tasks and a lot of people participated in the process."

"The scalability is the best feature."

"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."

"It is easy to use and deploy."

"The product’s dashboard is very intuitive."

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."

Cons

"The product’s visible allocation feature needs improvement."

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

"t is not very stable."

"The tool's configuration features need improvement."

"The network configuration has to be simplified."

"There is room for improvement in this solution. For example, auto-scaling can be complex. We expect it to be easier to set up and manage, even for our customers."

"We would like to see some improvement in the ease of integration with this solution."

"Log observability could be made easier so someone from high school can use it without having technological expertise."

More Google Kubernetes Engine cons

"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is a little bit expensive."

"We are planning to use external support, and hire a commercial partner for it."

"Initially, Google Kubernetes Engine was a little bit cheaper, but now its prices have been increased compared to the pricing model and the features that are made available by its competitors."

"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."

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

"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."

"The solution's price is reasonable."
