User Testimonials
	Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)	IBM Cloud Private
Likelihood to Recommend	Amazon AWS It is well suited when you want to have a Kubernetes cluster in AWS Cloud and want to avoid all the management overhead of maintaining your own cluster in terms of the control plane. EKS seems to be lacking in features when compared with AKS and GKE. Backups, service mesh, and monitoring have a lot of room for improvements. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	IBM IBM Cloud Private is an ideal platform for companies to accelerate their business growth. It helps in reducing the cost of IT and operations while delivering a great customer experience. With IBM Cloud Private, you can gain agility and security with a flexible hybrid model that fits your needs. It's highly recommended to my colleagues from me.

Pros	Amazon AWS Managed control plane Autoscaling Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	IBM Capacity On Demand to scale up and down environments SaaS model allows our team to have less involvement in managing or controlling the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even individual application capabilities. SaaS model allows our team to worry less about upgrades, fix packs, environment support etc. Incentivized Bhaskara Rudraraju Tech Consultant (ODM and BPM) Read full review
Cons	Amazon AWS AWSIAM integration with Kubernetes RBAC could be better. Enabling some add-ons like service mesh, and monitoring will be nice instead of having to install them yourself after the creation of the cluster. EKS bootstrap time could be faster ... Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	IBM Bluemix/IBM Cloud UI can be better Changing Brand name from Bluemix to IBM Cloud, as we are habituated to Bluemix more Incentivized Dinesh P Senior Infrastructure Engineer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Amazon AWS It feels like AWS is behind the EKS race, the only advantage I'm able to see right now is the support of IPv6, however, trying to promote AWS alternatives that are different from the market and more like a vendor locking solutions like ECS/Fargate have kept AWS behind and focusing on the wrong things. EKS needs to really improve its integration with the Kubernetes ecosystem and have an enterprise solution for monitoring, backups, and service mesh. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	IBM With VMware cloud, each VMware Cloud customer must have an SDDC account(VMC) as well as a general AWS account. The two accounts must be linked for the service to work which is a tiresome thing to do for some clients but with IBM Cloud Private all these issues are solved. Incentivized Nosava Begum Human Resources Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	Amazon AWS Migrating all our workloads from ec2 VMs to containers running in Kubernetes has been a huge improvement for the management and resilience of our Infrastructure. EKS Upgrade process to a new version seems to be taking very long .... EKS creation time usually takes over 10 minutes in us-east-1, we would like faster creation times to be under 5 minutes.
