Andrea Castorino - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable solution that can be deployed in parts to improve its robustness and reliability
Our clients are usually enterprise businesses. IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service is a good solution because our customer requires very rapid deployment, and the solution is critical for his business. If the system is down, the lawyer cannot send documents, and people may be in jail. Overall, I rate IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service an eight out of ten.
Manpreet_Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Used to manage Kubernetes infrastructure, but it doesn't have support from OCI
Spot Ocean is deployed on the cloud in our organization. I would recommend the solution to other users. You need to have an experience with Kubernetes, or else this product is of no use. It is not difficult to learn to use Spot Ocean. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
