"In terms of technical features, I don't see anything missing. The only two points in favor of other providers are the price and local support.

We get more support from some of the other providers here in Brazil as compared to AWS."

"Tanzu could provide more granular control over whatever networking is being done on the containers. I would also like to see a slightly more detailed view of application-level tracing. I'm referring to the connections between different microservices. If they added a service-matching feature, that would be helpful for the customers to build or be more effective."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex...The solution could benefit from improved customization and visibility for its users."
