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.

Centralized cluster deployment has improved remote site operations and supported hybrid application models
The initial setup was not straightforward. It was challenging, but then it was manageable. It is relatively easy, but we do have challenges. Not everything is straightforward. There are things that can be addressed. In a couple of cases, we needed some third-party expertise to ensure that we did it correctly. In most cases, we were able to do it on our own. When hosting something on Azure and connecting with an HTTPS link, there are some dependencies that need to be tweaked on Nutanix. Otherwise, it does not communicate with the on-premises infrastructure. There were a few tweaks that we struggled with for almost a couple of days. That was not part of the original design manual. We needed to make some tweaks within the cluster ourselves to achieve the goal. There were some shortcomings in the design that we had to customize ourselves to achieve, especially integration with Azure Cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Since adopting it, all the issues we faced while managing Rancher are gone, and we are seeing 100% availability for Komodor."
"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."
"Overall, Komodor is a very good platform for managing Kubernetes-related infrastructure, and as of now, my experience with Komodor is very positive."
"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 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."
"We have great support from Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) and the experience has been excellent; the relationship maintained with the team in India is particularly strong, and the support directly from Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) itself has been exceptional."
"Compared to Azure or Amazon, Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) is not as secure, but the new edition may improve these functionalities."
"The platform is easy to set up, maintain, and update."
"The platform is stable."
"Migration from public cloud to private cloud and vice versa is actually seamless using Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP), making it very handy when providing a Kubernetes platform for customers needing on-premises solutions during application modernization."
"Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) is a centralized platform that allows us to deploy different clusters from a centralized location."
"The stability of Nutanix is exceptional; when operational, it performs flawlessly and demonstrates remarkable resilience."
"Before working with Nutanix Kubernetes (NKP), I was working on Dockers, which required separate setups for each microservice, application, or web server, but now everything is under one umbrella, allowing us to manage it all without going here and there."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"A significant limitation of the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) is its requirement for extensive Kubernetes knowledge."
"They have to improve their marketplace offering for Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) which is currently limited."
"In Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP), I believe the migration process needs to be much simpler, similar to other Kubernetes platforms we are using, with all steps being clear and direct to facilitate an easier experience for everyone."
"There were some shortcomings in the design that we had to customize ourselves to achieve, especially integration with Azure Cloud."
"Regarding the stability and reliability of Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP), I sometimes worry about incidents that occur, but we don't receive a clear explanation of what happened."
"There are some limitations with the non-air gap version as it requires complete internet access, which poses restrictions due to government regulations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
