"Easy to use Kubernetes management tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Platform9 Managed Kubernetes (PMK)?

I've tried several Kubernetes as a Service like AWS Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS) or Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). These services are very good but they locked you in their cloud. If you have on premisses K8s, and/or in different clouds, you end up having to manage different ways to deploy and manage your Kubernetes Cluster. With Platform9 you forget all the hassle to install and maintain your different K8s clusters. Platform9 allows you to easily install a fully functional, production-grade, and on-premises cluster from scratch in less than 15 minutes. They also have specific integrations for AWS and Google, so you can have the resources provided by these cloud providers without being locked in. Currently, we have 6 clusters and zero maintenance. We can define roles to access specific resources on our cluster and each user is able to download your own Kubeconfig. The support is amazing, always helping me in the specific cases I had.

What do you dislike about Platform9 Managed Kubernetes (PMK)?

Besides being powerful, I still missing some features very specific to my use case. One of these features is the ability to change the instance type on PF9 AWS installations using the control panel. Either way, I asked the support and they promptly did that internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"K8 Container Orchestration - PMK"

4/5

What do you like best about Platform9 Managed Kubernetes (PMK)?

I really like the security feature that PMK offers for my node management. Earlier I was using different third-party applications for maintaining our clusters, but after I started using PMK, everything seems so convenient and easy to maintain. It also supports both on-premise and cloud solutions which is great for organizing K8 containers across various platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Platform9 Managed Kubernetes (PMK)?

Nothing in particular to dislike of Platform9 Managed Kubernetes. It offers a top-class K8 container orchestration engine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Platform9 Managed Kubernetes (PMK) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Initially, I was looking for a platform for building efficient and secure K8 clusters, and I started out with the Freedom subscription, which was a free trial with up to 20 worker nodes. I'm really impressed with how easy it is to set up the containers on PMK and included it for process improvement documentation to our client. It got approved, and now we are currently using PMK for our enterprise cluster management and K8 orchestration with great ease and convenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
