"Steeper Learning Curve"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP)?

D2IQ core asset is its ability to operate Kubernetes clusters in many environments like cloud computing and local servers. The flexiblity gives me the centralized control panel to manage all my deployments that are Kubernetes-based and as a result, simplifies management and reduces the level of complexity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP)?

D2IQ does possess that high learning curve in comparison with some other Kubernetes platforms. A cluster set-up and its management took up more time than communicated in the beginning because there were no good available and easy-to-use documents. As there are articles and pieces of materials, the best option would be to synergize them into the ultimate guide that can help bosses especially new bosses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the new role as a D2IQ user, I can truly appreciate the multi-cluster management solution which is very important part of my work. This simplest way is having one pane glass for all my Kubernetes deployments - I can save the time and remove the errors when working with all the complex infrastructures.

"Hinder the user experience"

0/5

What do you like best about Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP)?

D2iQ needs to provide reliability when it comes to managing our data infrastructure. Their platform does not automate tasks consuming us time and resources. The monitoring system they provide does not ensure disruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP)?

It does not allow us to focus on our core business operations. Their customer support team is unresponsive and does not promptly solve any concerns we have. I do have some reservations, about D2iQs customer support. It often takes them a while to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Looking for cloud agnostic cluster management and centralised visibility? Look no further than D2iQ"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP)?

I love that I can spin up a cluster using industry-standard tools in minutes and, without any configuration, have a centralized dashboard and logging capability for all my managed k8s clusters. Also, once installed, you communicate with your clusters the same way you are used to, i.e. using kubectl. It's this none wrapping of open source technologies that I think makes D2iQ stand out from its competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP)?

There is not much that I dislike about D2iQ's offering, but if I had to point out something, it might be their documentation. Although they have better documentation than some other companies, they could certainly improve on the sections that explain in detail how their platform works. They do have great regular blog posts that go into a lot of this, but collating a lot of this into a single place would be a great idea. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP):

If you are looking for a tool that removes the hard part of setting up and managing a cluster with production-grade tools, then look no further than D2iQ Konvoy & Kommander. The ability to be able to manage multiple clusters on different cloud providers using managed or non-managed services or even on air-gapped servers within a single interface, I think, is just brilliant. I would highly recommend D2iQ to anyone running production k8s clusters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the world of multi-cloud environments, the fact that D2iQ is cloud-agnostic means that I don't need to think much about which cloud provider I am running my clusters on. I, therefore, have more time to spend on the actual application than on what it's running on, which is brilliant. D2iQ gives me the ability to spin up a cluster already configured and ready to go with all the tools I need to run a production-grade application in k8s. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DC/ OS 1.8 is all feature rich but performance poor!"

3/5

What do you like best about Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP)?

Data driven app development and container features. Interoperability with multiple cloud service providers, containers (Docker for e.g.) and Virtual services.

Additionally, interoperability with other container development engines is a huge plus. For e.g. you could have docker containers but still be able to use DC/OS to manage and orchestrate them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP)?

Performance - Stability, reliability and compatibility issues in 1.8 version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP):

Consider upgrading to version 1.11. we did this and it has helped us overcome most of the performance issues that were encountered with 1.8. Additional recommendation would be to upgrade first before integrating with any of the continuous monitoring solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Automating PaaS layer with seamless integration of app development and container delivery. Main benefits have been - Scalability, flexibility and automation. In addition, Security and compliance maintenance have been great features to leverage and implement in the application development layers. For e.g. secrets management and identity management is seamless with fine-grained access control & integration with multiple identity providers (LDAP, Active Directory, SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect).

"High availability is everything"

5/5

What do you like best about Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP)?

It's highly configurable, flexible and great looking piece of software. DC/OS is based on few well know and proven Open Source projects like marathon, mesos, docker, ha-proxy and many others.

Web UI looks great but it still need some work if it's about reliability and services state accuracy.
