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 provides an all-in-one solution that combines cost optimization, cluster management, and all of that, which is why I continued with it."
"Devtron Enterprise has significantly simplified my Kubernetes deployment workflow."
"Devtron Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing the bandwidth required of the DevOps team in managing CI/CD pipelines."
"A feature we find valuable is that other products can also be integrated with Mission Control. This means that we can see the status of specific clusters, as well as view the monitoring application logs all from one point."
"VMware Tanzu Mission Control has many valuable features, such as ease of use and customization."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to check the flow of all the different variants within our applications."
"Defining security metrics has proven beneficial for customers in maintaining a safe environment."
"We feel very good about these features."
"There are a lot of services available in VMware Tanzu Application Service, such as databases and application servers. You have everything you need in one application and you do not need to search outside of the solution."
"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."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement in Devtron Enterprise is that I find the UI somewhat complex, and it can be improved."
"The customer support is poor."
"Devtron Enterprise can be improved by enhancing customization options for complex enterprise workflows."
"The cost is a major factor in this solution; anything above the standard version comes at a high price."
"Customers have noticed a considerable price increase after VMware's acquisition by Broadcom."
"The product should support integration with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)"
"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."
"The infrastructure is quite challenging."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex...The solution could benefit from improved customization and visibility for its users."
"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 network control and security policies must be improved."
