The auto-scaling feature helps during peak hours, but the support is not great
We use the solution for running microservices for different healthcare workflows like authorization claims and adjudication with no downtime and to do continuous deployments Earlier, we used an on-premise solution, so we faced downtimes. It was a monolithic architecture. Google Kubernetes Engine…

Easy to implement, good integrations, and helpful technical support services
It is mainly an antivirus product for both desktops as well as servers. It has additional modules which can be enabled in fast manner. It uses the same agent and additional modules like FIM, Filing Integrity Management and ELP services.  The product is easy to implement and easy to integrate with…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is very easy. We can create our cluster using the command line, or using our console."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Google Kubernetes Engine is how you can automatically scale and load balance."
"Before using this solution, it was a lot of manual tasks and a lot of people participated in the process."
"The main advantage of GKE is that it is a managed service. This means that Google is responsible for managing the master node in the Kubernetes cluster system. As a result, we can focus on deploying applications to the slaves, while Google handles any updates and security patches. The fact that GKE is fully integrated into the Google ecosystem, including solutions such as BigQuery and VertexAI. This makes it easier for us to integrate these tools into our process. This integration ultimately speeds up our time to market and reduces the time and effort spent on managing infrastructure. The managed aspect of GKE allows us to simply deploy and utilize it without having to worry about the technicalities of infrastructure management."
"We used automation for the initial setup. It was okay. So it wasn't too complex."
"Google Kubernetes Engine's most valuable features are microservices and its acquisition rate, which is very useful for scaling perspective."
"It's easy to manage and deploy. It's the best."
"Deep Security is a good product for managing a few servers."
"Deep Security enables us to bridge the gap between patching windows using the Virtual Patching feature. This allows us to make sure full patching is tested properly in our testing environments before rollout."
"​Very straightforward and very easy to implement.​"
"The solution is quite secure."
"There is no competition for this product, as no other product provides HIPS, host-firewall, and anti-malware together."
"The solution's features, including real-time monitoring, IPS activity, and firewall alerts, are found to be the most effective in our company"
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment was good. We haven't had any problems at all."
"The most valuable features of the solution we have enabled in our organization are its anti-malware capabilities, applications, web reputation, and integrity monitoring."
 

Cons

"The solution does not have a visual interface."
"An area in which Google Kubernetes Engine could improve is configuration."
"The tool's configuration features need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"The notifications are not informative."
"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 network configuration has to be simplified."
"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
"Enhancements in agent performance are needed, specifically in reducing server utilization during scanning."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"In the solution, servers often go offline for various reasons, requiring us to manually check the cause or issue, such as connectivity issues, and to find out why the agent went offline."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
"As for what could be improved, I think it should come with an XDR facility without any extra cost. They're always releasing new features, but we need to pay extra for them."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"The implementation can be inflexible and not easy, as it requires knowledge of things like virtualization and administration on Windows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are planning to use external support, and hire a commercial partner for it."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. The tool costs around 3000 dollars per month. There are no additional costs apart from these."
"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 pricing for GKE is dependent on the type of machine or virtual machine (VM) that is selected for the nodes in the cluster. There is a degree of flexibility in choosing the specifications of the machine, such as the number of CPUs, GPUs, and so on. Google provides a variety of options, allowing the user to create the desired cluster composition. However, the cost can be quite steep when it comes to regional clusters, which are necessary for high availability and failover. This redundancy is crucial for businesses and is required to handle an increase in requests in case of any issues in one region, such as jumping to a different region in case of a failure in the Toronto region. While it may be tempting to choose the cheapest type of machines, this may result in a limited capacity and user numbers, requiring over-provisioning to handle additional requests, such as those for a web application."
"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."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The price for Google Kubernetes Engine could be lower - I'd rate its pricing at three out of five."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"It's more expensive than other solutions, such as Sophos and Kaspersky, as an endpoint solution."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The cost runs around forty dollars per server a month."
"The tool's pricing is high."
"The tool's pricing is quite high."
"We are an original partner with AWS, so a couple of customers chose to directly take it from AWS Marketplace. A couple of customers will want us to take care of the billing. So, it's a mixed type of reaction that we receive from the customer."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
