Hitesh D - PeerSpot reviewer
High availability and self-healing mechanisms ensure seamless production builds
The most useful feature of Mirantis Container Cloud for our container management is Kubernetes. It provides a cluster, high availability, and a self-healing mechanism. Its multi-cluster management capability enhances our operational efficiency as it is easy to use, and every deployment is from the CI/CD, which automatically builds and deploys without human interference, reducing our deployment time to a few seconds.
Harsh_Vardhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides visibility and control that our customers need
Different modules are valuable for different customers. We are leveraging CSPM. It is one of the best solutions for comprehensive visibility into cloud resource configurations and compliance. It has a lot of out-of-the-box policies, and the visibility that we are getting is impressive. The DSPM module is valuable. This is the latest one that Palo Alto procured from Dig Security. No competitor provides this functionality in a single pane of glass. The support for Linux and container security is also very good. That is the beauty of Prisma Cloud. However, in terms of Windows security, Prisma Cloud is lacking because currently, there is no runtime protection available. The UI is very good. We get all the things within a single UI. It is easy to use. A new user can easily understand it. It is very user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution has cut down on our development time and allows us to spin off new instances for inner development, testing, productions, and security testing."
"The solution containerizes software."
"It is a stable solution. It is nearly perfect. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The UI is very useful."
"Mirantis Container Cloud operates similarly to how we interact with databases. It provides a comprehensive platform for deploying and managing containerized applications across cloud environments."
"This solution has improved our organization with the agility, microservices approach, and scalable solutions for distributed systems."
"If we compare legacy application support to Docker, it's a superior product."
"I like the automation in deployment. I can deploy whenever I want based on the environment, and I can easily roll back to a previous version for testing."
"Prisma Cloud's most important feature is its auto-remediation."
"It helps to identify the misconfigurations by monitoring regularly which helps to secure the organization's cloud environment."
"Prisma Cloud is quite simple to use. The web GUI is powerful. Prisma Cloud scans the overall architecture of the AWS network to identify open ports and other vulnerabilities, then highlights them."
"It has helped us understand the dynamic topology of our containers, and manage security through the application of policies that our pipelines apply straight from Git."
"The UI is very good. We get all the things within a single UI."
"Through Prisma Cloud, we can write Lambda functions, configure policies to check the security posture, and get reports. We can do a lot more."
"I find the CSPM area to be a more valuable and flexible feature."
"In addition to that, I can get a snapshot of what I deemed were the priority vulnerabilities, whether it was identity access management, key rotation, or secrets management. Whatever you deem to be a priority for mitigating threats for your environment, you can get that as a snapshot."
 

Cons

"More integrations with other platforms would be beneficial."
"I find Docker easier to use, but I gave it to an inexperienced developer and it took him a lot of time to understand."
"An improvement would be automated testing."
"Areas for improvement are the privacy of container management and the documentation. In the next release, I would like to see best practices on how to manage distributed containers and networks."
"Mirantis Container Cloud could improve in simplifying security and compliance management, particularly in vulnerability scanning and patching."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"The solution's stability could be improved."
"I have consulted Mirantis support for some issues, but the support quality is not good. I suffer from support delays due to timezone differences between India and USA."
"When it comes to compliance, the issue is that when we are exporting the reports, there is only a single compliance option. If I need to report on multiple compliance requirements, that feature isn't available. For example, I made a single report for ISO 27000 but I can't correlate it with GDPR."
"There is room for improvement on the logging and monitoring front because it's still not as holistic as I would want it to be."
"The innovation side of the solution could be more efficient and more detailed."
"They could improve more features for the enterprise version of the solution."
"This solution is more AWS and Azure-centric. It needs to be more specific on the GCP side, which they are working on."
"One of the main backlogs in their development is in the area of integration. For example, we have ServiceNow in place for ticket management and Prisma Cloud is supposed to send closure emails for incidents. But from time to time, it fails to do so. We have several other mismatches between Prisma Cloud and ServiceNow."
"The cloud integration is too complex. It should be simple to integrate Prisma Cloud with any cloud environment. Policy management could also be simpler."
"I believe there are some issues with the product's maturity. In some cases, it could malfunction concerning Cloud Native."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Docker is a free solution."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price and ten means high price."
"The solution is open-source and free to try."
"Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"It is more costly than other products, but it is worth every penny."
"This solution is free."
"Mirantis Container Cloud is free. However, there are features for which you need to pay."
"The product is not expensive."
"The licensing cost is a bit high on the compute side."
"The purchasing process was easy and quick. It is a very economical solution."
"I wouldn't mind if it were cheaper. We are spending a fair amount of money on Prisma Cloud."
"The pricing of the solution is fair."
"The Prisma Cloud pricing is good."
"In general, Prisma Cloud is much cheaper than cloud-native services."
"We are encountering some resistance in the African market regarding the cost of Prisma Cloud."
"The pricing is reasonable."
