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."
"I think the volume binding is a really interesting feature."
"Ansible (when combined with Docker and Docker deployment tools) wins any time of the day."
"The most important thing that my clients focus on is rapid deployment, and in this regard, Docker wins hands-down."
"The product is easy to use."
"Now it is easier to set up the development environment and also to test the applications on the pipelines."
"On the deployment front, we saved about six developers worth of effort for every 64 people."
"If we compare legacy application support to Docker, it's a superior product."
"The real strength lies in its straightforward approach, offering just two key policies: prevention and detection."
"The most valuable feature is the endpoint protection system."
"The granularity of applying the policies is valuable."
"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."
"We use the product to prevent unauthorized access to data, systems, and servers. It provides essential features for data center security."
"The monitoring in the management console allows us to find out what is going wrong, and it gets reports even before the user reports it."
"The file integrity monitoring features are the most valuable features of this product."
"The console and tools are very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"There could be an automation feature included in the product. It will speed up application processes and will not require scripting codes."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"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."
"The only problem is that they are too complicated for what we are trying to accomplish."
"Docker is not stable itself because it is an engine to run containers, and whenever a container is shut down, your data is lost, and you need to restart the containers."
"On the MacBook, it was a little difficult, probably because of the version that my company is using."
"Docker's technical support is a struggling area."
"You need to have system knowledge to deploy the product. It should be improved."
"This solution clashes with Microsoft defender, which results in performance degradation on the machine."
"The support is very bad. They're not fast at all. Trend Micro's support is much better."
"Agent management is a challenging task."
"There is room for improvement in enhancing its graphical user interface for a more user-friendly experience."
"It would be advantageous if Symantec or Broadcom, given the rebranding, could simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the antivirus functionality more easily."
"Symantec is lagging on the reporting side."
"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."

"We use the free version of this solution."
"The solution is open-source and free to try."
"Mirantis Container Cloud is free. However, there are features for which you need to pay."
