Featured Reviews

Immánuel Fodor - PeerSpot reviewer
The auto-scaling feature ensures that we only use resources when needed
The most valuable aspect of Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is its managed nature, which significantly reduces the burden on our platform team. Features like auto-scaling are highly beneficial for both handling traffic spikes and optimizing costs. Furthermore, Google's promise of good SLA availability, with the service being available in different locations, adds to its robustness.

Effective cost management achieved with robust storage features but user experience and data management require improvements
HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is not user-friendly and has many parts that are more difficult than Cloudera. It is also a complex solution and has low features for data management. For example, it cannot make a data catalog or process data lineage without third-party support, which increases the cost for development.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"GKE's plugin management and configuration sync are excellent features. The amount of data it provides is good, and I've been able to integrate it with the things I need."
"The product’s dashboard is very intuitive."
"I am impressed with the product's output scaling."
"The most beneficial feature is the ability to separate each project and manage permissions more effectively."
"We hardly have a breakdown. It's been very stable."
"Google Kubernetes Engine's most valuable feature is container deployment."
"We appreciate that it is quite easy to set up a Kubernetes cluster in Google Cloud, using the managed services within this solution."
"Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) takes care of managing Kubernetes, including the main control plane. It also offers solutions for monitoring resources and handling external traffic, which is essential for us. Being a cloud-native solution, it relieves us from worrying about these operational aspects."
More Google Kubernetes Engine pros
"If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."
"The stability of the HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is good, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
 

Cons

"Google Kubernetes Engine's cost should be improved because it is high."
"It needs to support load balancing."
"Our critique is that we have to do too much work to get the cluster production-ready."
"I would like the solution to integrate with another Kubernetes product. I would also like it to monitor other platforms. It needs to also include scale-up container in the tool's next release."
"The product could be cheaper."
"The pricing could be more competitive. It should be cheaper."
"The notifications are not informative."
"An area in which Google Kubernetes Engine could improve is configuration."
More Google Kubernetes Engine cons
"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."
"HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is not user-friendly and has many parts that are more difficult than Cloudera. It is also a complex solution and has low features for data management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are planning to use external support, and hire a commercial partner for it."
"Its pricing is good. They bill us only per user. That's nice."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price. The product is competitively priced."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"Pricing is a bit expensive compared to some other products, but it's acceptable."
"Currently, it costs around $1000 per month which sorted our deployment. So once we get more clients, having a huge suffix, costs can go up."
"I would rate Kubernetes' pricing four out of five."
