Cons
"It would be nice if they could handle the management of personal information more efficiently.""It just loses out because you have less access to it programmatically, with less technical or customizable access.""The initial setup of AKS is complicated. The setup depends on the cluster, nodes, and lots of other things. There are also lots of extremely critical small devices. Moreover, you will have to pay them even while setting up the solution. It is not like you setup first and then pay for it.""This is a fairly expensive solution, which can make it prohibitive for smaller organizations.""There is room for improvement in automation processes, as well.""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.""Its integration functions could be enhanced.""In terms of cost perspective, they could make the product more affordable."

More Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Cons →

"Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things.""JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard.""Since we have been using the solution via APIs, there are some limitations in the APIs.""JFrog Xray's documentation and error logging could be improved.""I think that the user interface should be expanded to provide customers with a better dashboard for reviewing their feedback regarding their images and the vulnerabilities that are associated with the images.""The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance.""Reporting is crucial, but it is lacking in the current tool. Every organization seeks specific data points rather than general information. Therefore, we require customized reports from the Xray tool."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "As you scale your operations, AKS becomes more cost-effective."
  • "We could spend as little as $25 or $30 a month on Kubernetes Services, compared to the typical $100 a month expenditure for a virtual machine."
  • "The cost of the solution is extremely high. Both Amazon and Azure cost extremely high. Given the basic features like when they are coming over the cluster nodes, we think over ten times before giving the solution to clients. No matter how many offerings the solution provides, it becomes so much of a burden that you are not even getting back your invested money from customers."
  • "The control plane is free and we only pay for the usage and time."
  • "It is expensive compared to other vendors."
  • "The product follows a pay-as-you-go pricing model which is good for small enterprises. You need to pay only for the services that you use."
  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "The price of AKS is expensive. We pay approximately $10,000 monthly."
