Outsourcing cloud operations has improved uptime and supports 24x7 incident monitoring
CDW Managed Cloud Services is useful for cloud operations, but there are areas for improvement such as pricing transparency and the onboarding process. Cloud migration and onboarding may require detailed planning and coordination, indicating that transitioning workloads and support responsibilities can take time. Another needed improvement is the dependency on an external managed team. Organizations may rely on a third-party provider for some operational activities, and there is a need for improvement from CDW Managed Cloud Services since internal teams may depend on external escalations or support processes. Regarding the onboarding process, cloud migration and onboarding may require detailed planning and coordination, indicating that transitioning workloads and support responsibilities can take time. Reporting granularity, including more customizable reporting and dashboard depth, could also improve operational insights, as teams may want deeper cloud performance or cost breakdown reports.

Modern deployment practices have reduced downtime and support efficient multi-app management
Kubernetes Everywhere offers features including auto-scaling, which is the best feature, as well as load balancing, ingress controllers, and the ability to host multiple applications on a single Kubernetes Everywhere cluster through segregation using namespaces. The commands are straightforward to execute, and it allows the integration and management of Docker containers efficiently. Auto-scaling is one of the features I use in Kubernetes Everywhere that made a significant impact, helping us with user distribution as the pods scale automatically without disruption as users increase, contributing to high availability and low downtime. I am using Kubernetes Everywhere with the GitOps approach, using Git as a source of truth, which provides excellent security and has made a significant change in our current infrastructure. 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. Regarding cost savings, we were using multiple EC2 instances for different projects, but now everything is under one cluster, running as a pod and segregated by namespaces, leading to cost savings. For team collaboration, we are using different tools with Git as a source of truth, making it easy for developers to manage instances and gain insights efficiently.

Pros

"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."
"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 internal cloud management effort through outsourcing day-to-day cloud operations, resulting in reduced operational overhead, a better security and compliance posture, and enhanced business continuity."
"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, and better leverage our investment in our application technology while offloading infrastructure to CDW as part of their managed services."
"CDW has performed great from a project management standpoint. We had set up our environment with our knowledge of how to set up the virtual servers in the cloud. They came back and did an analysis to help us with our savings. This was something we hadn't thought about, but actually helped us reduce some of the costs. The cost savings was about a third of the cost over three years."
"Our expectations have been met in terms of services delivered on time, on budget, and on spec."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services acts as a security guard and doctor for my cloud."
"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."
"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 has positively impacted my organization with cost savings, where we have a good amount of savings around sixty thousand to seventy thousand USD per year."
"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."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization by providing lower costs, flexibility, and scalability."
"Kubernetes Everywhere is a very good tool with most of the features taken from Kubernetes open-source, and it works really well, is highly scalable with very low latency."
"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 impacted my organization positively because performance-wise, we don't have any downtimes, whereas earlier we used to have downtime."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"If you take a dive through their websites, it feels like they were all put together by different teams."
"The pricing could always come down because cost is always a factor. Our business is always looking to reduce costs while getting the best services."
"They can maybe improve the scheduling. There have been times where I wanted to schedule something, and there was a conflict on their side as to who can do it and when and why, but other than that, they have been pretty stellar."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services is performing very well overall, but the optimization can be improved in terms of loading the page."
"I would like to see them improve when it comes to helping develop an interface to this environment that's more user-friendly."
"We are still waiting on one thing, but it is not really CDW. It is just something from Microsoft."
"The pricing could always come down because cost is always a factor."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Customer support for Kubernetes Everywhere could be better."
"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."
"The ingress issue is the main concern for me because I continue to face ingress-related issues most of the time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CDW Managed Cloud Services will not be cheaper than what you are doing on-premises. It will be more expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
