PerfectScale Reviews & Product Details

The level of details when it comes to examine your cluster:

TotalCost or CostperHour of a Pod (and of the specific containers), the Risk about your actual tuning of your workload (considering events like OOM and CPU Throttling) and the Waste/idle cost parameters (really useful to check if you are overprovisioning)

And for sure the Customer Suppport, they are always so helpful and caring! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe it could be not easy to manage at the beginning, considering all the features.

Especially on the Automation part: It's very useful but I would suggest first to check if there are some workloads that can have problem with her activation, so you can customize properly the configuration for exclude those in case Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I really like about PerfectScale is how it seamlessly analyzes the workloads and makes intelligent adjustments without requiring constant manual intervention. Its ability to continuously monitor and adapt to changing demands in real time has made managing complex K8s environments much easier and more effective. Plus, the intuitive interface and insightful reporting provide clear visibility into resource utilization, helping to prevent over-provisioning and underutilization.

the automation capabilities are currently restricted to deployments, leaving out statefulsets and jobs. This can be a drawback for those managing more complex workloads. Additionally, the product still has some early-stage issues, or “growing pains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is the easiest to adopt and most usable Kubernetes workload optimization tool.

If you're focused on optimization, there's no better tool.

With a simple agent installation, it collects metrics from your Kubernetes workloads and recommends the right size.

The main and favorite features of this tool are...

- PodFit: recommend right-size of pods

- InfraFit: recommend right-size of nodes

- Automation: automatically rightsizes pods Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes webpages take a long time to render depending on the number and type of workloads.

This can be fixed with some configuration, but it requires work.

I'm sure this will be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration with our clusters and setup were easy and I liked how PerfectScale onboarded us and helped us every step of the way. We were able to take actionable steps quickly to bring down the cost of our Kubernetes clusters almost immediately. The recommendation engine for cpu and memory limits is robust and easily implemented. Finally, the autopilot feature has been working very well for us allowing us to save considerable cost with limited interaction and no negative performance impacts.

Finally, I like that PerfectScale treated us as a partner and took feature requests seriously and implemented them expodiciously. They have been a great company to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not necessarily a downside of using the platform but we are trying to tie pod level usage metrics to our cost of running our clusters and expose it through our cloud cost and usage reports. It would be nice if PerfectScale could help in this endeavor and we are working with them on a feature request to do just that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PerfectScale is a powerful tool for managing Kubernetes environments, offering several key benefits:

1. Automated Cost Optimization: PerfectScale uses AI algorithms to provide precise cost optimization recommendations, helping you reduce waste and save money

2. Enhanced Resilience and Availability: The platform autonomously right-sizes your environment, ensuring it is always scalable to meet demand. This enhances the resilience and availability of your applications

3. Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts: PerfectScale offers real-time notifications on resilience risks and cost anomalies, allowing you to address issues promptly

4. Seamless Integration: It integrates with various Kubernetes flavors and cloud providers, making it versatile and easy to use across different environments

5. User-Friendly Interface: The intuitive UI helps users quickly understand and act on optimization recommendations, regardless of their experience level Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More features on volumes, etc. will make it more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a powerfull solution that saves a lot of time to Ops teams with the question of sizing their containers.

When you're a big company or use large amount of containers this time saving become very important and valuable.

As a platform team, it is possble to deploy the solution and with no effort and then coach the platform users to use perfectscale. Having a SaaS solution with agent based is neutral in term on infrastructure consumption. A great match for those how use Datadog for exemple.

As a finops team, I can have a precise and already filtered view of what is happening inside clusters. It is something that is not available in the main public cloud providers.

It is a full story experience about sizing containers going from analyzing workloads to a set of recommandations and the final effective operations of automatically resize the containers.

The team is very responsive, feature requests process is in place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The solutions is still evolving in order to seemlessly add new clusters to the platform, good progress on that part but few features are still in the roadmap. When managing hundreds of cluster it could be challenging to manually active things in the UI.

The overall UI experience only manages clusters and worloads, the kubernetes Namespace is a very usefull level of agregation. It should be integrated in the solution.

We only use the recommandation mode right now because a lot of our internal customers are afraid of an automatic mode. It's hard to convince them even if we have insights from perfectscale platform. Recommandations are subjects to debates between experts, who's right in all the situations here is the question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Perfectscale.io is a wonderful tool that has emerged as one of our favourites at Client Projects - it not only finds wasted resources in compute, memory and areas where cost is an issue - it improves also performance. All the rightsizing and necessary steps are automated if chosen.

The other benefit is the cost and performance improvements with a more resilient deployment - anyone who runs expensive AI workloads in Container based deployments will appreciate this.

Also in our market we need specifically an easy and agnostic deployment method across different Container stacks - unlike other legacy tools that require a propietary and expensive to maintain Autoscaler this works with Karpenter, and other popular Autoscaling solutions which cost little now. It can be deployed on some European providers that other tools cannot do.

Support and the Engineering team are excellent via Slack and quick turnarounds on complex optimisation queries and it runs at an exceptionally low cost per vCPU hour. Really hard to beat in a market that looks for the best per Unit cost in expensive techstacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like the UI to be improved a bit, in particular a light system toggle mode would be great -- although most deployments are done through the API and GitOps framework, its nice to switch into the UI on occasions and measure the Node consolidations and other items.

The situational overview it gives about our actual running costs. Helps us to scale down where we have over provisioned and scale up where we suffer from resource shortages. Resulting with improved cost efficiency and higher overall resiliency.

Very simple to implement and operate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It sometimes struggles to correctly scale very specific workloads Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't need another tool, what I needed was a solution I didn't have to manage.

That's exactly what PerfectScale does. Instead of another observability tool, it's true value is you just install it and turn it on. They take care of the rest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing at this time, they had a great onboarding experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

perfect scale provides a one stop shop to seeing what's running and it's resource configuration at both the pod and node levels. It takes all the guess work out of figuring how where you currently stand and what things are the most important to address. Once simple Helm command and I was up and running.

The company is growing quickly and moving fast, so sometimes things change out from under you. That said, the community and their support staff are awesome at keeping you in the loop Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
