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.

Continuous server hardening has protected critical legacy workloads and simplified security control
Symantec is lagging on the reporting side. I have been working for 10 years and I have identified many gray areas. As a user protecting your infrastructure, you need to sell the value to your management. Management buys the tool for preventing threats, and it works for them. However, you cannot sell it because every solution needs to show what happened in the last few years or how you will be protected in the future. Reporting is the most important thing for the CIO level, not the admin level. I have seen Symantec really lag in this area. I am creating my own tool to build a dashboard to share with the CIO level because they want to know what happened last week, last month, and last year. These reports will tell you about activities. Symantec changed the licensing when Broadcom acquired the company. The question of who will provide support became unclear. Support has now changed and they are making money. I have seen that most of the time when you ask implementation questions, they do not answer you. If you have a problem, they give you a low-level engineer at the first level. This delays resolution. Support has to be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You need to make an architectural runway before actually starting to implement Docker Compose, especially in a distributed environment."
"Mirantis Container Cloud provides significant features such as real-time vulnerability scanning and patching for container images and Kubernetes components, reducing security risks."
"Using this solution for a production environment that should be working 24/7 is the biggest proof of stability."
"You don't need to do anything; just deploy it, run it, and then it does all the work by itself."
"One of the most valuable feature is its scalability because it is easy to work with. Even though I haven't fully removed it before, it's simple to get started and develop further. It's comparable to working with languages like C++ and Python. Python. It is easy to understand and more user-friendly."
"Now it is easier to set up the development environment and also to test the applications on the pipelines."
"It took us 30% faster to implement the solutions that we used to have with other platforms, and the flexibility has increased by 50%."
"Docker is very helpful for taking the code from development and applying it to the end user."
"The console and tools are very user-friendly."
"Good file integrity monitoring features."
"Overall, this is a pretty good product."
"We have not reduced manpower, the number of servers has gone up, but the number of incidents has tricked down to single digits."
"The file integrity monitoring features are the most valuable features of this product."
"The tool will then detect any anomalies, such as an intruder who has breached the network, which can trigger the system lockdown feature if it's enabled and meets the defined threshold."
"The ability to finely control permissions and restrictions on servers or assets through a customizable rule set is a key strength."
"The advantage of Data Center Security is its ease of use and that it serves as a single unified platform, where I can apply all my security policies to protect that server."
 

Cons

"I feel that the product lacks to offer a proper health status of the images which are running, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The solution's stability could be improved."
"There are a couple of things. Firstly, the vaultStore database within Container isn't as efficient as a standalone Container vault. This needs improvement."
"I find Docker easier to use, but I gave it to an inexperienced developer and it took him a lot of time to understand."
"The only problem is that they are too complicated for what we are trying to accomplish."
"Integration with Windows is something that can be improved."
"The solution would benefit in improvements made to the storage, cleaning up information from the disk, and reading logs."
"On the Mac, Docker is far from perfect."
"It would be advantageous if Symantec or Broadcom, given the rebranding, could simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the antivirus functionality more easily."
"There is plenty of room for improvement with this product, and it could start with platform metrics."
"Since the acquisition of Symantec, our customers have not been satisfied with this solution."
"Adding more compatibility with common products like Microsoft would be a plus."
"Agent management is a challenging task."
"The product blocks certain processes, even after allowlisting them."
"I think that technical support in general is not really capable of doing their work. They don't have enough knowledge to provide quick solutions, so we usually try to resolve problems within our team."
"They need to develop a more flexible product that can be scaled such that it fits well into a small business or a bigger, enterprise-level solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not expensive."
