We performed a comparison between Amazon Elastic Container Service and Komodor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The cloud services are readily available."
"The solution is simple to access."
"The solution is easy to scale and implement and provides performance monitoring and management tools."
"Good documentation and very straightforward to implement and use."
"Scalability and availability are the most valuable features of Amazon Elastic Container Service."
"I like Amazon EC2 Container Service's elasticity."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its scalability."
"The most valuable feature, after using Amazon EC2 Container Service for two years, is to set the availability and also for network throughput."
"Komodor's multi-cluster centralized event timeline is the most valuable feature."
"The event timeline has been super helpful, enabling us to overlay node events in the same timeline as deployment events... That helps an engineer very quickly troubleshoot without having to do too much digging."
"The service overview is definitely the most valuable feature. With it, I can see all the services and see if they're healthy or not without having to go specifically into each workflow individually. It has been immensely helpful for us whenever we've had network issues or other such issues. We've been able to use Komodor and see at a glance where there might be potential issues."
"The most valuable aspect is the speed with which I can narrow down what's going on. Usually, I look at the overview of events and then the timeline of an event and the status of the logs to quickly check what's happening or what has happened."
"The more time we use Komodor the more we save. Currently, we have seen around a ten percent return on investment."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service’s initial setup is a bit difficult."
"The orchestration of the workloads running in ECS needs improvement."
"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."
"My company has faced some stability issues with Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"In the next release, they could add some customization options for high computer workloads."
"Probably, they should include automated graphing, and monitoring solutions."
"I also believe there are limitations in terms of upgrading. The software has the concept of dedicated servers that you can manage. However, an issue arises when you can't match one operating system with another that you've already purchased. You can't simply merge them; instead, you have to buy a completely new one. This limitation has caused some challenges for us."
"I would like the product to improve integration with different platforms."
"One thing we don't have visibility into, which I would love to have, is metrics, such as user logins and usage. It's really hard to know what people are doing when I don't have any metrics on that directly."
"Komodor's visibility could be improved."
"I like the alerts that Komodor provides, but I think the alert interface could be improved."
"I hope that the cost analytics and resource usage allocation areas will see further development. For example, where we can now see if the pods are over- or under-provisioned, I wouldn't mind higher-level development."
"I would like to see improvements in how the product is installed. We've already communicated these things directly to Komodor. One feature we would like to see is for Komodor to be highly available on the clusters. Currently, it's only able to run in one instance within the cluster."
