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."We do not have to do a lot of administration, such as create virtual machines, or worry about our controllers or nodes going down because the solution is fully managed by Amazon."
"The tool works well with the nodes in AWS. It's scalability is also good in terms of architecture."
"The solution's Autoscaler option allows for an increase in worker notes whenever particular thresholds are exceeded."
"I can use the autoscaling feature to manage and scale up infrastructure."
"EKS has security features that you can't find in competing solutions."
"It has always helped me. It is the repository where we store our images...The microservices appear to be well-made, and I don't have any comments on them as I don't see any flaws."
"It is the best service because it has proper security packages."
"The most valuable feature is the computing speed."
"The most important thing about the solution is its flexibility."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"I have multiple Kubernetes environments within my environment. TMC gives me a single pane view, which is good for managing everything."
"Tanzu Mission Control has quite a set of rich features when compared to OpenShift."
"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."
"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."
"Defining security metrics has proven beneficial for customers in maintaining a safe environment."
"The dashboard needs to be more user-friendly."
"Amazon EKS is not a solution that can be fully managed through automation, making it an area of concern where improvement is required."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The connectivity could be better."
"The management of the nodes in Amazon EKS should be improved."
"A cluster is required on-premises, which takes a lot of time."
"I would like Amazon EKS to be easier to configure on various environments like Windows or Linux installations"
"The documentation part of the product is an area of concern that needs to be made easier from an improvement perspective."
"Another area of improvement is pricing."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with other solutions such as HPE."
"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."
"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."
"The network control and security policies must be improved."
"Cost is always a concern. Smaller companies might find the price a bigger issue."
"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."
"Having a unified dashboard to manage all infrastructure, whether it involves additional IT infrastructure or modern apps, would be highly advantageous"
