DeepakReddy - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr.Devops engineer at Scaler
Unified CI/CD and multi-cluster control have transformed how we manage Kubernetes workloads
The best feature that Devtron Enterprise offers is the Kubernetes-native CI/CD integration, allowing me to build my CI/CD pipeline on Kubernetes natively. It already includes Kubernetes controllers and operators, which are written by Devtron and provided to me. With the help of that, I build CI/CD pipelines and deployment pipelines, and I can also do GitOps using it, which performs rollbacks and multi-stage approval. I can conduct blue-green deployment, canary deployment, and AB deployment or AB testing—all achievable using that. Regarding the features, security has many valuable aspects. By default, Kubernetes provides RBAC and all that, and on top of it, Devtron Enterprise provides many other functions such as policy management, compliance controls, audit logs, and single sign-on. Everything can be done using Devtron Enterprise, and observability can also be performed through a built-in dashboard where I can see all the logs of pods and deployments, including metrics and events. It easily integrates with Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki, and it just takes some time to follow the documentation to integrate with all these tools.

Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Safaricom Ethiopia plc
Has supported container-based deployments and improved infrastructure visibility through monitoring tools
Aria Operations, formerly known as VMware vRealize Operations, has been renamed to vROps. We are currently using this for monitoring purposes. For orchestration, we are using VCD to automate Telco Cloud. VCD is an automation tool, and we are also using VMware Tanzu Platform for the Kubernetes environment, alongside TKG, Tanzu Kubernetes Grid. These are also other solutions for the Tanzu Kubernetes environment. For Telco Cloud, we are using it to automate our company's operations, which is for a telecom company. We are familiar with these products, especially vCenter, ESXi, VCD, vCF, and vROps. It is very easy to integrate applications when we deploy vCenter and ESXi since we can enable vSphere with Tanzu feature. We can build namespaces and provide application developers the platform to deploy their applications on pods within containerization. We can easily manage, pull results, and create containers efficiently, making it a simple way to handle applications. We provide namespace labels for application developers, and we can manage their resources along with other aspects easily. Regarding security, we use many tools such as CDX and LDAP, AD for integrating our Kubernetes cluster with the developer teams. We can manage roles and permissions simply. It is very straightforward to integrate with EDX and other third-party tools, Active Directory, to the Kubernetes cluster, allowing easy access and management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Devtron Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing the bandwidth required of the DevOps team in managing CI/CD pipelines."
"Devtron Enterprise has significantly simplified my Kubernetes deployment workflow."
"Devtron Enterprise provides an all-in-one solution that combines cost optimization, cluster management, and all of that, which is why I continued with it."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to check the flow of all the different variants within our applications."
"We feel very good about these features."
"The Tanzu platform is highly available, scalable, and flexible."
"Defining security metrics has proven beneficial for customers in maintaining a safe environment."
"It definitely gives the end customer a good overview and perspective of running applications in terms of overall workload footprint. TMC provides a very detailed description of your cloud-native application in the form of graphical visualization."
"We can build namespaces and provide application developers the platform to deploy their applications on pods within containerization, and we can easily manage, pull results, and create containers efficiently, making it a simple way to handle applications."
"Tanzu is easy to upgrade and scale, whether we're talking about horizontal or vertical scaling. It is as smooth as possible without any downtime. The platform maintenance, upgrading, and operations part is very smooth."
"The initial setup is easy."
 

Cons

"The customer support is poor."
"One area for improvement in Devtron Enterprise is that I find the UI somewhat complex, and it can be improved."
"Devtron Enterprise can be improved by enhancing customization options for complex enterprise workflows."
"The disaster recovery feature could be improved to provide better tracking of issues. I would also like to see the introduction of a dashboard view, for even further integration of all the areas that Mission Control looks at."
"The cost is a major factor in this solution; anything above the standard version comes at a high price."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex...The solution could benefit from improved customization and visibility for its users."
"VMware Tanzu Service Mesh could add better integration with other cloud platforms, such as vRealize Automation or VMware vCloud Director for cloud providers."
"This product doesn't have a GUI. In order to use it properly, I need to connect it to a new GUI or build a GUI to manage it — it's pretty difficult."
"Tanzu could provide more granular control over whatever networking is being done on the containers. I would also like to see a slightly more detailed view of application-level tracing. I'm referring to the connections between different microservices. If they added a service-matching feature, that would be helpful for the customers to build or be more effective."
"Addressing the high upfront costs could improve the product. Implementing a subscription-based model with tiered service options could make it more accessible to a broader range of customers."
"Tanzu is not yet a mature product, and it's not present in large environments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is not expensive, but it is not cheap."
"One of our Spanish customers told us that VMware Tanzu Service Mesh is a very expensive product for their data center."
"The licensing cost is expensive."
"The solution is bundled in with Cloud Foundry so the pricing is not independent."
"Since we were at a large data center, the price might not have been a concern for us."
"The least expensive licensing cost for VMware is around $350 per core."
"I would recommend that businesses look into the full price for their requirements. The price is high, but there are some open-source add-ons that can be used for customization while keeping costs down, although these might not be suitable for everyone."
"The license for VMware Tanzu Application Service is expensive. The license should be cheaper."
