Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Reviews

Our customers use the solution to develop their business applications.

The solution's dashboard integration with Kubernetes helps us manage workloads easily.

They should work on improving the solution's integration with API. They should add an option for installing open-source tools such as Kube-State-Metrics to leverage the community.

We have been using the solution for three years.

The solution is more stable than EKS. Although, we face some issues while upgrading it. I rate its stability as an eight.

Our customers have around 50-60 developers using the solution in their organizations. I rate its scalability as an eight.

The solution's customer service team resolves the technical issues accurately. But it takes a long time to reply to queries.

The solution is simple to install compared to AWS, which needs many prerequisites to follow.

The solution is expensive compared to other vendors. I rate its pricing as a five.

I have evaluated IBM Cloud, GKE, and AWS. They all are similar to AKS and have a few advantages over it. But AKS is better than them in terms of implementation, scalability, accessibility, and overall services.

The solution is excellent. But sometimes, it couldn't provide specific metrics. In addition, integrating it with Azure's metric app also fails to generate the expected results.

I rate the solution as a seven.

Our primary use case is for deploying the Docker images, which we are working on.

I have enjoyed working with all the features.

I would like to see the stability get more synchronized.

I have been working with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for the past eight or nine months.

Sometimes the cluster is just hung up for some time. Maybe the services are just in a syncing state. They are not regularly syncing it via Argo CD. These are some of the issues we have faced. We have not faced this every day, but from time to time maybe twice a month.

There is good scalability in the current environment. We have currently around one thousand using the solution.

The initial setup is complex for me.

We are using Microsoft tools and that is why we went ahead with the Microsoft company culture.

I would rate Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) an eight out of ten.

We use the platform to host various solutions.

The product’s most valuable features are ease of use and automation. Along with that, it has efficient scalability and portability. We can port container images across additional platforms.

The product’s cost could be reduced.

We have been using Azure Kubernetes Service for three to four years.

It is a stable platform. We rarely encounter any downtime. However, from an infrastructure perspective, its stability depends on the application's self-healing capabilities.

We are an enterprise company using the product. We have thousands of Azure Kubernetes Service users.

The technical support services are good. We may only sometimes get the right answer. We can escalate the case depending on the severity.

Positive

We also use AWS EKS.

The product is easy to deploy. We have made the process automated using DevOps. The number of engineers required to execute the implementation depends on the use cases of particular projects the DevOps team is working on. The product supports zero downtime maintenance, including upgrades and patching.

The product is expensive in terms of scalability. 

I rate Azure Kubernetes Service an eight out of ten. It is expensive to scale the number of nodes.

We use this solution for microservices and migration purposes.

This solution allows us to use Azure Arc as an integrated tool for development.

We find the container orchestration tool that this solution provides to be very valuable.

This is a fairly expensive solution, which can make it prohibitive for smaller organizations.

We have been working with this solution for one year.

We have found this solution to be very stable during our time using it.

This product is easily scalable.

The initial set up of this solution was very straightforward, and the deployment only took a few minutes to complete.

The solution was implemented by our in-house team.

There are multiple options for how to pay for this product, including a pay as you go option, and there is also one year or three year reserved pricing available.

We would advise companies to research all available options for the functionality they require, as this is a fairly expensive solution.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We use this solution to create multiple clusters and multiple services then scale them, as well as to build network security services around our containers.

We like how easy it is to create the resources in this solution, thanks to how easy the UI is to use.

Command replication is also very easy in this solution.

We would like to see the addition of a service report from the server for this solution, so that we can monitor the health of server operations. 

The monitoring functions should be more better in this solution as a whole, as currently the logging is difficult to understand, which makes it difficult to find issues in production.

We have been working with this solution for nearly three years.

The stability of this solution is very good.

This is a very easily scalable solution in our experience.

The technical support for this solution is good, and we rely on them a lot.

Neutral

The initial setup of this solution is a bit complex.

We would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

All our microservices are deployed with Azure Kubernetes Service.

RBAC is useful for us to decentralize all access policies. We have a lot of features on the cloud. Azure is more user-friendly compared to AWS and GCP. 

The technical support could be faster and they should improve it.

We have been using this solution for four years and it is a cloud solution.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution. All our end users use this solution and we have plans to increase the usage. We need at leasr two members to maintain and they have intermediate level knowledge and are engineers.

The technical support is good and I rate them a six out of ten.

Neutral

We did not use other container security products before AKS.

The setup was straightforward and it took one hour to deploy. We did not need any help with deployment.

I rate this solution an eight out of ten. I recommend the solution because other cloud solutions are delayed compared to this.
