Cloud service has streamlined daily monitoring and reporting but still needs smoother setup
When it comes to scalability, we never got to the point where we could scale it, or at least while I was there. Scalability is a tricky word. You design for it, but to actually do it because you have a real need tends to take more time to come into fruition. I wasn't there when that scalability test was done. In terms of using the real-time performance analytics feature of CDW Managed Cloud Services, I think it was something a little different when I was working with it. Maybe it was termed differently. We had a real-time interaction performance report that we dealt with every day. Our goal was to have the tool create information and send it to us instead of us having to look for it. We used a real-time monitoring service functionality to generate a daily report, which my SMEs would then review and take actions in accordance as necessary. When assessing CDW's security management in maintaining data integrity and compliance, you meet the encrypt state compliance requirements and the ISO 9000, which we had requirements for, including the ISNet requirements with the 128-bit encryption states and 512s on the backend for hardware. We didn't have anything else beyond that, which is pretty standard these days. We had no data penetrations during the time I was there.

Reliable mobile platform has delivered accurate retirement data and reduces incident rates
The best feature Kubernetes Everywhere offers is the reliability feature, which mostly impresses me. What makes the reliability stand out for me is uptime and error handling; also, as I mentioned previously, it's providing reliable data, which is very important for us in TIAA because it is the retirement data that we serve, and we do not want to provide anything incorrect to our participants. As this is a 100-year-old company, we want to make sure our participants are given the accurate information, reliable information that they deserve. Kubernetes Everywhere has impacted my organization positively by being reliable as well as providing accurate data, maintaining the uptime, which is very important, and making sure we deliver the accurate data that is required by our participants. I have seen specific outcomes, with incidents having definitely reduced drastically from what it was a few years back; so certainly, I can see there is more than 25 to 50% reduction in the incidents since adopting Kubernetes Everywhere.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has freed up staff time by not having them work on managing the infrastructure. We are able to spend time doing application administration, focusing on the long-term strategy of where we are going. The impact is that we are able to better leverage our investment in our application technology and offload infrastructure to CDW as part of their managed services."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services has positively impacted my organization by reducing costs, being more efficient and secure to use, and offering a user-friendly platform that gives quick access to all features in a single cloud service portal."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services has positively impacted my organization through its key capabilities, which include compliance and security, while the migration services, cloud optimization, and cost management have helped me significantly."
"Their proactive alerting is valuable. They'll try and apprise us of issues before they become problems. I find that very valuable."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services acts as a security guard and doctor for my cloud."
"In regards to the cost of CDW Cloud Managed Services, when I consider the costs of engineering resources that can work in multi-cloud environments, the cost of downtime, and the cost of the time to reconcile complex bills from cloud providers, the benefit is immeasurable."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services has found pitfalls and various things in the infrastructure, e.g., in routes, IP ranges, and security loopholes, that didn't need to be there. They stripped it down and went to a very flat topography, making it less complicated. So, there are less things to trip over and go wrong, which means less downtime."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services acts as a gateway between us and Microsoft, providing highly technical resources that save us from going to Microsoft frequently and reduce costs since Microsoft support depends on hours purchased."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has impacted my organization positively because performance-wise, we don't have any downtimes, whereas earlier we used to have downtime."
"I have seen specific outcomes, with incidents having definitely reduced drastically from what it was a few years back; so certainly, I can see there is more than 25 to 50% reduction in the incidents since adopting Kubernetes Everywhere."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization because we do not require any tech background to make our web app work."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing downtime; we have achieved almost zero minutes of downtime since implementing Kubernetes Everywhere in our organization after transitioning from manual deployments."
"Kubernetes Everywhere is a premier operational asset for modern multi-cloud architecture, delivering standard, predictable workload orchestration across any underlying hardware engine with minimal setup complexity."
"Since we started using Kubernetes Everywhere, we brought all the applications in one place, which impacted the speed, security, and cost, and mainly the data, so the data stays in one place."
"Kubernetes Everywhere is easy to operate when you have a settled environment and easy to manage, offering high availability and fault tolerance with all high availability features, rich support of the latest technologies, vulnerability management, and easy management."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization by providing lower costs, flexibility, and scalability."
 

Cons

"If you take a dive through their websites, it feels like they were all put together by different teams."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services can be improved in many ways, specifically in terms of operational efficiency, better management of cloud operations, and reduced manual efforts."
"We are still waiting on one thing, but it is not really CDW. It is just something from Microsoft."
"When you initially engage with them, there is the idea that you will have certain check-ins on a quarterly or monthly basis. That didn't really occur until we started to reach out to engage with them. As soon as we started to touch base, it was great. We identified that there were some other initiatives we wanted to get in place. However, it was really on us to get the ball rolling on that. It would have been helpful if we had a CDW resource reaching out, saying, "Hey, what do you want to do next? How is this working for you? How is this not?" That initial engagement would have certainly helped on the professional services side."
"They can maybe improve the scheduling."
"I would like to see them improve when it comes to helping develop an interface to this environment that's more user-friendly. We're introducing people to the use of a type of cloud scenario that they're not familiar with. We have to train them on and teach them how it's implemented. Having a little bit better interface would be helpful."
"During implementation, I wasn't that impressed with their performance from a project management standpoint, especially for the prices charged."
"The ticket system is a little clunky for Managed Cloud Services. There is no ticket category for Managed Cloud Services, per se."
"Kubernetes Everywhere can be improved by providing an easier way for users to handle commands and developing a UI-based approach to make it easier for developers and semi-technical users, as well as focusing on improving containerization."
"It only loses a small amount of points because fine-tuning network policies across very strict, air-gapped, on-premise boundaries takes extra upfront coordination during the initial discovery week."
"At this time, I may not have any improvement suggestions; I want to explore more, so the features currently provided satisfy me, but if there is anything Kubernetes Everywhere can share with modernization, that would be great."
"I can think of an improvement for Kubernetes Everywhere in that it should be easier to use from a developer's perspective, as it involves a lot of infrastructure numbers and DevOps."
"Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, running a Kubernetes cluster can be costly depending on the use case; however, running on GCP GKE is cheaper compared to AWS, making it relatively economical in our case."
"Although we have not seen a clear return on investment in terms of reduced personnel, we are already operating with a lean structure that aligns with our cost optimization goals, independent of Kubernetes Everywhere."
"Kubernetes Everywhere can be improved if it had more convenient commands, which would make it easier for me to remember all the commands in GCP for Kubernetes."
"Due to poor planning of the application developers and resource management, I have seen crashes, downtimes, and performance issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have used CDW’s free Recommendation Engine. That is what we use for the cost savings. It helped us find places to reduce our cloud costs."
"It is a little more complex than I would like, but I think that's more AWS than CDW. CDW actually saves us money in regards to the way they handle things. We get support without a six-figure commitment from the AWS side, and that's appreciated."
"The biggest factor for us was cost, and at the time, CDW Managed Cloud Services was most efficient for what we needed."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services will not be cheaper than what you are doing on-premises. It will be more expensive."
"The cost is very competitive and appropriate for what we get."
"A lot of people see the cost, and they are like, "Well, that is a lot if we already have an internal IT person." It's like, "Well, you're not just getting that." You are getting access to resources and peace of mind, to say, "I don't have to worry about this server dying at 2:00 in the morning because these guys will handle it." I will wake up, and if there would have been a problem, it would have been addressed. It would have been notated and fixed."
