Featured Reviews

Adam Elguennioui - PeerSpot reviewer
SAP Consultant at SA&BC
Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer. In the future, the tool can be made faster. In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.

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

"The most valuable feature of the product is being able to test on multiple platforms for Oracle, for VMware, and so on."
"The Oracle Java Cloud Service has enabled our developers to focus on what they do best: developing modern Java applications."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"With Oracle Java Cloud Service, in a few clicks, you can set up an entire WebLogic server in the AWS cloud services and the storage cloud services."
"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"Demoing is always an expensive process, from procurement of hardware to installation of software, now it is easier, cheaper, and more elastic."
"We never experienced any problems with scalability."
"The valuable feature I have found to be the management of Kubernetes clusters in a private cloud or public clouds, such as Azure or Google Cloud Platform."
"I have multiple Kubernetes environments within my environment, and TMC gives me a single pane view, which is good for managing everything."
"I have multiple Kubernetes environments within my environment. TMC gives me a single pane view, which is good for managing everything."
"It has provided us with one central point where we can easily track our product QA, and our project resources, across multiple projects and multiple business units."
"Tazu is a developer-friendly and highly mature product."
"VMware Tanzu Mission Control has many valuable features, such as ease of use and customization."
"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

"Some of the automated platform patches broke our existing functionality and we were not notified about it."
"Customer service could be improved."
"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"
"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."
"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage cloud."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"It needs to have the ability to create a service with the same name as another one when the initial creation failed as sometimes it's necessary to have a service with exact name."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We want to see a new feature that helps build more security architecture like Zero Trust Security or shifting left in Kubernetes."
"It is not easy to build a solution with containers. It has a graphical user interface, but you need to have a lot of knowledge of Linux and how to work in the command mode."
"The implementation is not easy, it is very complex and can take a day or two to complete."
"The network control and security policies must be improved."
"The installation of VMware Tanzu Service Mesh is very complex."
"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."
"It is not easy to build a solution with containers. It has a graphical user interface, but you need to have a lot of knowledge of Linux and how to work in the command mode. Its support can also be improved. Currently, its biggest disadvantage is that it is a new product, and the clients prefer to go for a solution that has been in the market for a long time. There are not that many people who know this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is somewhat expensive."
"Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"The least expensive licensing cost for VMware is around $350 per core."
"There are different licenses available. You have to upgrade your license if you want to scale the solution more."
"One of our Spanish customers told us that VMware Tanzu Service Mesh is a very expensive product for their data center."
"The solution is bundled in with Cloud Foundry so the pricing is not independent."
"The licensing cost is expensive."
"The license for VMware Tanzu Application Service is expensive. The license should be cheaper."
"Since we were at a large data center, the price might not have been a concern for us."
"The price of VMware Tanzu Mission Control is greater than that of Red Hat's competitor solution"
