| Solutions Architect Hybrid Cloud Practice US/Europe at Tech Mahindra Limited | 4.0 | I work in IT services, providing solutions with VMware, Nutanix, and others. VMware Tanzu is valued for its scalability, flexibility, native autoscaling services, and security features. However, its high cost and dependency on VMware's ecosystem need improvement. |
| Subject Matter Expert & Technical Lead (Dicks Sporting Goods) at Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. | 4.0 | I use VMware Tanzu in our customer environment for its excellent services like Postgres, RabbitMQ, and Pivotal Cloud Foundry. While we haven't faced issues, leveraging AI capabilities could enhance its offerings as our customer expands. |
| System IT and Technologies Field Manager at Leumit Health Services | 4.0 | I use VMware Tanzu for running Kubernetes and microservices due to its flexibility and improved operations over monolithic Windows-based servers. Although network security needs enhancement, it saved hiring costs and is easier to work with than other solutions. |
| Head Of Infrastructure & Cloud ops at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | No summary available |
| Platform Engineer - Linux at a computer software company with 11-50 employees | 5.0 | We used VMware Tanzu Platform for Kubernetes cluster management, enjoying its intuitive interface and ease of use. However, compliance issues with the SaaS model limited our exploration, and costs might deter smaller businesses. An on-premise model would be beneficial. |
| CEO, Head of Sales and Business Development at prodevans technologies | 3.5 | Our organization uses VMware Tanzu Mission Control for managing multiple Kubernetes entities and cluster provisioning, valuing its Day 2 operations support. However, it needs better GCP integration and flexibility with different clusters compared to Red Hat's offerings. |
| Sr. Technical Architect at StarOne IT Solutions | 4.0 | I find VMware Tanzu valuable for application modernization, offering centralized management for backups and lifecycle across clusters. While recent on-premises solutions address air gap needs, frequent updates and pricing pose challenges compared to options like Rancher Labs. |
