"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 implementation is not easy, it is very complex and can take a day or two to complete.""The solution's initial setup process was complex...The solution could benefit from improved customization and visibility for its users.""The solution is currently focused on VMware infrastructure and I would like to see more options made available."
