Streamlined marketplace listings have empowered sales teams and simplify cross-cloud administration
Tackle Platform is an easy-to-use tool, which is good, but I imagine if the Alliance team ever wanted to migrate from Tackle Platform, it would be very complex to do that because all of our marketplace activity is deployed via this stack set owned by Tackle Platform. The lock-in feature is strong with Tackle Platform, which is a risk for people to consider if they were to use it. Additionally, I understand the pricing can be quite high, as they charge a platform fee plus a percentage of marketplace revenue generated. For organizations selling heavily through Tackle Platform, it could become quite expensive.

Centralized networking has secured multi-cloud data pipelines and improves analytics reliability
VNS3 could improve in terms of ease of setup, as while it is powerful, initial configuration for complex multi-cloud topologies can still feel quite technical and requires strong networking knowledge. Another potential improvement would be to tighten native integration with modern data stack tools; Airflow, dbt, and cloud data warehouses can benefit from more out-of-the-box connectivity templates. Additionally, the user interface and observability experience could be more modern and intuitive, especially for quickly diagnosing network flows without diving deep into logs. A pain point regarding needed improvements is that troubleshooting can still feel quite network engineering heavy. For data teams in my organization, we often want more pipeline-level visibility, such as directly seeing which ETL jobs or data flows are impacted when a tunnel or route changes. I would also appreciate more automation around policy setup, such as having auto-generated secure network templates for common data architectures such as AWS to Snowflake or on-premises to BigQuery, which would significantly reduce setup time.
