High availability and self-healing mechanisms ensure seamless production builds
The most useful feature of Mirantis Container Cloud for our container management is Kubernetes. It provides a cluster, high availability, and a self-healing mechanism. Its multi-cluster management capability enhances our operational efficiency as it is easy to use, and every deployment is from the CI/CD, which automatically builds and deploys without human interference, reducing our deployment time to a few seconds.
Daniel Stevens - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers easy management and container connection with HTTPS, but the support needs to improve
I have experience with the solution's setup in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and our company has assisted in the development of a cluster in a research department, but we didn't start from scratch because we have IT professionals who have installed Kubernetes across 12 nodes of a cluster and a new environment can be created for a new platform. I also had another setup experience of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes in Portugal where I had to implement the solution in a cluster of 22 computer servers, which was completed with assistance from the IT department of the company. The initial setup process of the solution can be considered as difficult. The setup process involves using the permissions, subnets and range of IPs, which makes it complex. Deploying Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes takes around eight to ten hours for new clusters. The solution's deployment can be divided into three parts. The first part involves OpenStack, where the cluster's resources need to be identified. The second part involves virtualizing assets and identifying other physical assets, for which OpenStack, Kubernetes, or OpenShift are used. The third part of the deployment involves dividing the networks into subnetworks and implementing automation to deploy the microservices using Helm. The number of professionals required for the solution's deployment depends upon the presence of automated scripts. Ideally, two or three professionals are required to set up Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to use."
"Mirantis Container Cloud operates similarly to how we interact with databases. It provides a comprehensive platform for deploying and managing containerized applications across cloud environments."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"Very easy solution to use as it is intuitive."
"When you have Kubernetes, you can use Mirantis Container Cloud to manage your Kubernetes for easy access and security. It also helps you to manage your CI/CD system. It helps you to build a container-oriented developer workflow. So, if you're building an application in Kubernetes, it provides you with a Kubernetes engine."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"You need to make an architectural runway before actually starting to implement Docker Compose, especially in a distributed environment."
"Docker is very helpful for taking the code from development and applying it to the end user."
"I like virtualization and all those tools that come with OpenShift. I also like Advanced Cluster Management and the built-in security."
"One of the most valuable features I found was the ability of this solution to map the network and show you the communication between your containers and your different nodes."
"The benefit of working with the solution is the fact that it's very straightforward...It is a perfectly stable product since the details are very accurate."
"Segmentation is the most powerful feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share resources."
"I am impressed with the tool's visibility."
"The most beneficial security feature of the product revolves around the areas of vulnerability and configuration."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring feature."
 

Cons

"I find Docker easier to use, but I gave it to an inexperienced developer and it took him a lot of time to understand."
"You need to have system knowledge to deploy the product. It should be improved."
"I have consulted Mirantis support for some issues, but the support quality is not good. I suffer from support delays due to timezone differences between India and USA."
"I think this solution needs better security due to more risks from the outside world."
"This solution is open-source and they need to focus on improving the Linux Operating Systems' GUI. It does not have a GUI making it not user-friendly. Additionally, the containers need to improve security and compliance."
"Mirantis Container Cloud needs to improve its documentation."
"I would also like to see more features inside Docker as well as more integration with different solutions."
"With the Mirantis runtime being removed from Kubernetes, which is the industry-wide standard for orchestration of containers, I think it's going in a direction that is not super scalable."
"The testing process could be improved."
"Red Hat is somewhat expensive."
"The solution lacks features when compared to some of the competitors such as Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks and has room for improvement."
"They're trying to convert it to the platform as a source. They are moving in the direction of Cloud Foundry so it can be easier for a developer to deploy it."
"The deprecation of APIs is a concern since the deprecation of APIs will cause issues for us every time we upgrade."
"The solution's visibility and vulnerability prevention should be improved."
"The solution's price could be better."
"The initial setup is pretty complex. There's a learning curve, and its cost varies across different environments. It's difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is free."
"We use the free version of this solution."
"Docker is a free solution."
"Mirantis Container Cloud is free. However, there are features for which you need to pay."
"The solution is open-source and free to try."
"The community edition does not require a license and is completely free."
"The pricing and licensing really depends on what your needs are. You could be paying $100 a month to $100,000. It depends on the needs you have from the solution, and the agreement you make."
"It is more costly than other products, but it is worth every penny."
"The price of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes is better than Palo Alto Prisma."
"It's a costly solution"
"Red Hat offers two pricing options for their solution: a separate price, and a bundled price under the OpenShift Platform Plus."
"We purchase a yearly basis license for the solution."
"The pricing model is moderate, meaning it is not very expensive."
