Room For Improvement

Komodor needs installation upgrades, better visibility, intuitive alerts, cost analytics, system alignment, and feature integration for improved usability.
NKP needs improved documentation, ease of use, and support, facing stability, integration, and upgrade challenges for full functionality.
There are some features related to the platform that are missing in Komodor, such as Tigera status or CNI pods.

For Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP), to unlock all the features and capabilities, it requires an upgrade to the ultimate edition because I use Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) Basic, or it's called Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) Starter, which does not have all the features; it has some very basic functions.

Technical Solutions Engineer at a leisure / travel company with 501-1,000 employees
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.
