Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."The solution has many valuable features but the most impressive is the ability to scale an application and continuously monitor if all the components of the application are functioning correctly."
"The most valuable feature of Kubernetes is the integration with other solutions, such as Formative and Grafana."
"Kubernetes' integration with AWS Lambda is great. I barely had to write any code to connect from EKS to Lambda, so Kubernetes is programmer friendly."
"The scanning and support network."
"The implementation, and the way that they can, with a few clicks, load hundreds of machines without any trouble is very useful."
"Kubernetes' most valuable features are scaling, deployment, and container management."
"The cluster is very stable with outward scalability and good performance."
"All the current features are quite harmonic."
"Portainer comes with the ability to take the information of docker definition. Using it, I can visually observe how the container has been created. It allows me to create networks. I can also visually generate volumes and working stacks."
"The front end is very rudimentary."
"Management features could be simplified."
"There is a feature called Terraform and, based on the reviews I have read, it could be improved."
"It increases developers' overhead."
"This product should have a more advanced built-in scheduler that uses real application metrics in the scheduling strategy."

"Kubernetes can improve pod escalation."
"The Kubernetes dashboard can be improved. It is currently a mess. We were using Rancher earlier, and everyone was happy with the dashboard. Right now, we are using Kubernetes, and it's not working with Microsoft workstations. We still have problems with the dashboard. It's terrible."
"Portainer needs to be more intuitive."
