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.

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.

Extremely easy to deploy, manage, monitor and automate with built-in WebUI tools and others such as Argo CD and Ansible, Versus Others with less automation or too much where you can get vendor locked.

Can also be deployed in Free Tier or Platform9 providing a Testing/Canary Environment for Enterprise Users Free of Charge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
