Find out in this report how the two Container Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Amazon EC2 Container Service is a flexible product from Amazon. You can put it in the Auto Scaling group for high availability. There are also a lot of choices for pricing."
"The containerization is a valuable feature for us."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service is more stable."
"For me, the best feature of ECS is Fargate because I don't have to manage anything. Instead, everything is managed by AWS and all I have to do, in essence, is configure my containers and deploy them."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature is the volume size they offer."
"It has an Auto Scaling group feature. We can use this feature to have an Auto Scaling group to specify a minimum and maximum count for all types of configurations. Based on the specified values, Amazon Elastic Container Service scales the required CPU environmental metrics."
"The new scanning function is a valuable feature that wasn't available until recently."
"It provides critical insights that enable the IT team to plan and launch smart investigations when there are security breaches."
"The most valuable features are the ability to create pipeline rules, the enhanced NetOps security, and the deep visibility across our entire infrastructure."
"Assets Management as it provide complete visibility of our workload inkling EC2 instance or Serverless"
"It provides the most useful tools for protecting our financial account records from hackers."
"This product provides a really nice visualization of the infrastructure, including network topology, firewalls, etc."
"It has great scalability."
"The solution offers an excellent price, benefit, and installation relationship."
"The documentation and usage for the users can be better because for new users it can be very hard to understand and use the solution. They can add small images and accessories."
"My company has faced some stability issues with Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"The solution's user experience and management are really bad."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service needs to improve the menu design. It needs to improve deployment with better documentation."
"After the load balancer gets attached to Amazon Elastic Container Service clusters, I can't modify, remove, or replace it later."
"Sometimes, the instances fail under the ECS container cluster, and we have to manually go and find out the black sheep in the ECS container instance. We had an issue earlier where one of the instances under the ECS container cluster went down, and we were not able to identify that instance. The instance got terminated, but a new instance did not come up. Therefore, I had to manually get that instance up. It could be optimized better. In production, we normally cannot sustain such things. It can be optimized in terms of instances, durability, and serving the requests of customers."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"I would like the product to improve integration with different platforms."
"Their service needs improvement."
"It does not support on-premise deployments such as VMware Tanzu, and this has been a major drawback when it comes to integrations with some applications."
"The support must be more effective."
"Adding a feature that allows me to easily identify the changes that have been made to the CIS benchmark and update my own policy accordingly would be a valuable addition to Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management."
"The technical support could be better, but I do not know of any other needed improvements."
"The solution could be improved with a greater analysis of its Microsoft Security score."
"I am not a technical person, but generically, the user interface can be a little more intuitive. Our staff has trained network security and cloud security professionals, and they get it, but when you are trying to get to the customers to be able to pick it up and maintain it, it can be a bit difficult."
"The biggest thing is the documentation aspect of Dome9 is a little lacking. They were purchased by Check Point about a year and a half to two years ago. When they integrated into Check Point's support system, a lot of the documentation that they had previously got mangled in the transition, e.g., linking to stuff on the Dome9 website that no longer exists. There are still a lot of spaces with incomplete links and stuff that is not as fully explained as it could be."
