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.

Unified cloud workloads have become visible and teams manage kubernetes issues efficiently

This is the main task that we use Komodor for, and one additional benefit is that it is also helpful for platform and site reliability engineers to check how many clusters are up and running and how many clusters are accepting the workloads from the users. One of the best features that Komodor offers is Cloud AI, which debugs all the logs and gives the exact root cause for the issue. From there, we know we do not need an engineer who is an expert in Kubernetes to debug the issue. Cloud AI has definitely helped my team by saving time, not in a single instance but in multiple cases where we have used Cloud AI for debugging issues in the Kubernetes pods. Komodor has positively impacted our organization. Since adopting it, all the issues we faced while managing Rancher are gone, and we are seeing 100% availability for Komodor. 100% availability with Komodor means there have been improvements in uptime and productivity. For instance, when application teams want to deploy their applications, if Rancher is not up or running, the deployments usually fail at the deployment stage. In the case of Komodor, there have been no such cases reported after adopting it. We saw 100% uptime most of the time, except for some issues with AWS outages.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of the HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is good, and I rate it an eight out of ten."

"If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."

"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."

"Overall, Komodor is a very good platform for managing Kubernetes-related infrastructure, and as of now, my experience with Komodor is very positive."

"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 more time we use Komodor the more we save. Currently, we have seen around a ten percent return on investment."

"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."

"Since adopting it, all the issues we faced while managing Rancher are gone, and we are seeing 100% availability for Komodor."

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."

"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."

"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."

"Komodor's visibility could be improved."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The licensing model is fine. It is per node, which is good, but the pricing is high. Currently, I am fine with it, but I am a little concerned about the pricing as we scale. So, it is on the higher end. On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most expensive, Komodor is a seven."

"We pay according to the number of resources we have; if we are a small start-up, we have fewer resources and thus pay less."

"Other options pop up, but Komodor's pricing works well for our use case. It's fair, and we appreciate it. A lot of other vendors price their solutions in a way that would cost us disproportionately more money than they should. Komodor's pricing is reasonable in the way they calculate usage and value."

"As far as I can recall, the licensing cost was fair."
