Easy to set up with good plugins and helpful support
The initial setup is very easy. I'd rate the ease of setup ten out of ten. It was not complex at all. The deployment itself takes about two or three hours. It doesn't take too long. Before creating a cluster, you do need to open the ports. We handle anything related to optimization. Once all the elements are ready, we can launch a cluster pretty quickly. As an admin, I take charge of all sets of clusters. To deploy a cluster, you only need two people. We had network security engineers. We also need two people to manage the solution with active Nutanix support.

Cons

"I would like to have more nodes for availability and storage."
"Areas for improvement in Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE) include upgrading management capabilities and enhancing the user interface for improved usability."
"In the next release, I would like to have automatic dynamic scaling, both upscaling and downscaling."
"The product lacks some virtualization capabilities, making it an area for improvement where the solution can focus on providing users with more virtualization capabilities related to disk systems."
"I have issues with the product's interoperability."
"We need a backup of production clusters."
"GUI lacks sufficient information to help with understanding the installation and process."
"There have been challenges related to software bugs, especially regarding long-term licensing options and issues within our customer network."
"It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."
""Events" reporting (errors, crashes, etc.) is not clear at all in a Mesos environment (i.e., it's not clear what specific container is the one that went down). In a Docker Compose environment, it may be way better."

"I rate NKE's pricing a six out of ten."
