Harness vs VMware Tanzu Platform comparison

"It's a highly customizable DevOps tool."

"Tanzu Mission Control has quite a set of rich features when compared to OpenShift."

"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."

"We never experienced any problems with scalability."

"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 valuable feature I have found to be the management of Kubernetes clusters in a private cloud or public clouds, such as Azure or Google Cloud Platform."

"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 important thing about the solution is its flexibility."

"The solution is integrated very well with a lot of other systems. Also, its GUI is very good."

"There's also room for improvement in debugging pipeline issues, which can sometimes become complex."

"The implementation is not easy, it is very complex and can take a day or two to complete."

"Cost is always a concern. Smaller companies might find the price a bigger issue."

"The solution's initial setup process was complex...The solution could benefit from improved customization and visibility for its users."

"Another area of improvement is pricing."

"The solution is currently focused on VMware infrastructure and I would like to see more options made available."

"I would like to see additional support for things outside of Cloud Foundry."

"The product should support integration with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)"

"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 price of VMware Tanzu Mission Control is greater than that of Red Hat's competitor solution"

"It is not the most expensive option, and I believe the capabilities align well with the value it provides."

"Since we were at a large data center, the price might not have been a concern for us."

"The license for VMware Tanzu Application Service is expensive. The license should be cheaper."

"Its pricing is very competitive. We get around 70% or 75%, sometimes even 80%, discount on the product. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."

"The product is not expensive, but it is not cheap."

"One of our Spanish customers told us that VMware Tanzu Service Mesh is a very expensive product for their data center."

"There are different licenses available. You have to upgrade your license if you want to scale the solution more."
