We performed a comparison between Amazon EKS and VMware Tanzu Mission Control based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is the best service because it has proper security packages."
"Amazon EKS can be used to implement and create clusters."
"It's a faster solution to adopt on native applications."
"The product helps us to configure the new environment."
"Amazon EKS is very scalable."
"I like the scalability they're currently providing. Integration was very easy. It was a good experience."
"I can use the autoscaling feature to manage and scale up infrastructure."
"What I found most valuable in Amazon EKS is its maturity as a cloud computing technology."
"The multi-tenancy with the VCD is great."
"Tanzu Mission Control has quite a set of rich features when compared to OpenShift."
"I have multiple Kubernetes environments within my environment. TMC gives me a single pane view, which is good for managing everything."
"The most important feature of Tanzu Mission Control is its integration with the other products, especially with ESX and vSAN. This is a strong part of Tanzu Mission Control. In other solutions, such as OpenShift or Kubernetes, you can find similar features, but they don't have similar integration. With Tanzu Mission Control, you get a total solution with only one provider. You have the integration with the infrastructure, virtualization of networking, and virtualization of storage. You have a natural integration, and you don't have the problem of integrating it with different products or providers. Sometimes, different companies have good integration, but it is not always guaranteed. For example, many years ago, Cisco and VMware were good partners in networking, but when VMware started to sell ESX, the relationship was broken. This is the problem that you can face when you are using solutions from two different companies."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Tanzu Mission Control is the management functionality of the cluster life cycle. Additionally, the solution integrates well with other vendors, such as Velero for backups and Sonobuoy for compliance. Additionally, it works well in multi-cluster environments."
"Defining security metrics has proven beneficial for customers in maintaining a safe environment."
"VMware Tanzu Mission Control has many valuable features, such as ease of use and customization."
"It definitely gives the end customer a good overview and perspective of running applications in terms of overall workload footprint. TMC provides a very detailed description of your cloud-native application in the form of graphical visualization."
"An area for improvement in Amazon EKS is the user experience. The platform could be more user-friendly. Only an expert can manage and use it."
"Setup depends on what kind of architecture you have"
"They could add logging features. At present, we use external tools to increase and decrease the number of instances."
"The overall stability of the product should be improved to prevent any loss of data."
"The documentation part of the product is an area of concern that needs to be made easier from an improvement perspective."
"They need to work on the Amazon plugins on the Kubernetes cluster."
"They should enhance the Jira integration."
"A cluster is required on-premises, which takes a lot of time."
"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. 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."
"The network control and security policies must be improved."
"Tanzu provides better manageability as compared to OCP, but when it comes to tagging it with other products, it's a bit rigid. If I have to bring in any new product or something out of the box from a different vendor, working with Tanzu becomes a little difficult. For example, if I want to use the F5 services, I have to add one more layer of Avi, but I don't want to do that. If I have a list of the products that I want to use, such as for firewall services, with Tanzu, I will have to go through another layer, which creates complexity."
"Cost is always a concern. Smaller companies might find the price a bigger issue."
"LYNX is a managed cluster solution that takes care of specific details within a cluster, such as sequences or services. I haven't seen this feature in Tanzu Mission Control."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with other solutions such as HPE."
"Another area of improvement is pricing."
