We performed a comparison between Amazon Elastic Container Service 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 has helped our organization greatly and especially on weekends because we have many transactions as our users are buying some kind of tools and paying online."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service is more stable."
"Once you get the procedure right, and set a pattern, it just works."
"Performance is our top priority. So, if we need to deploy on a high-specification machine, we can choose it from the software. If we just need a low-specification one, we can just choose it based on the requirement handling software configuration."
"The solution is easy to scale and implement and provides performance monitoring and management tools."
"The most valuable feature, after using Amazon EC2 Container Service for two years, is to set the availability and also for network throughput."
"ECS is flexible and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the volume size they offer."
"The multi-tenancy with the VCD is great."
"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."
"VMware Tanzu Mission Control has many valuable features, such as ease of use and customization."
"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."
"A feature we find valuable is that other products can also be integrated with Mission Control. This means that we can see the status of specific clusters, as well as view the monitoring application logs all from one point."
"The most important thing about the solution is its flexibility."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"Support could be better with response time and knowledge of staff."
"I would like the product to improve integration with different platforms."
"The solution's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service’s initial setup is a bit difficult."
"After the load balancer gets attached to Amazon Elastic Container Service clusters, I can't modify, remove, or replace it later."
"Probably, they should include automated graphing, and monitoring solutions."
"The documentation and usage for the users can be better because for new users it can be very hard to understand and use the solution. They can add small images and accessories."
"The existing domain-joined capability the solution provides during the initial boot-up of the compute should be streamlined and made a little robust."
"We want to see a new feature that helps build more security architecture like Zero Trust Security or shifting left in Kubernetes."
"Cost is always a concern. Smaller companies might find the price a bigger issue."
"The infrastructure is quite challenging."
"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 disaster recovery feature could be improved to provide better tracking of issues. I would also like to see the introduction of a dashboard view, for even further integration of all the areas that Mission Control looks at."
"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."
"Having a unified dashboard to manage all infrastructure, whether it involves additional IT infrastructure or modern apps, would be highly advantageous"
"Another area of improvement is pricing."
