Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Google and others in Containers as a Service (CaaS)."The solution is quite scalable and allows you to launch multiple EC2s within minutes."
"ECS is a useful platform."
"The product's most valuable feature is service discovery functionality. It is an excellent feature impacting cost reduction."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service is a stable solution."
"The tool helps us with maneuverability. Its most valuable feature is autoscaling."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service serves the function it's supposed to serve."
"The product's initial setup was very straightforward and not complex."
"We use the product for website and email database hosting."
"IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service has enough flexibility that we needed."
"We deploy the solution in parts so we can easily manage the parts to improve the robustness and reliability of the software."
"While it is generally stable, there have been some issues, especially when working on client projects where troubleshooting was needed."
"The solution could provide more reliability."
"The solution's user experience and management are really bad."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service should simplify its management. It can be difficult for someone who doesn't have much experience with the tool. Also, the tool needs to add the ability to manage networks."
"For Amazon EC2 Container Service, providing the ability for users to select specific processor, memory, disk, and interface types might be an ideal feature. But, the practicality of offering all possible physical combinations is nearly impossible due to the underlying physical machines. AWS and Azure organize options into groups based on essential components like powerful processors or critical interfaces, considering physical restrictions. While expanding these choices is conceivable, it may not be feasible from a financial and practical perspective. Customers generally comprehend this limitation, as even in their own data centers, exact physical machine requirements are often a result of a combination of factors such as price, availability, and new machine generations."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service should include more enterprise project management features, typically available in an OpenShift environment."
"Since it is a managed service for container orchestration, it may limit our control over certain infrastructure functions."
"My company has faced some stability issues with Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service's log management should be improved because it is a bit complicated."
"IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service is not user-friendly, they could improve the user interface, and add more features to compete with Amazon AWS which is better."
