What do you like best about Tanzu?

Since the Tanzu is part of the existing vsphere solution , it is easy to manage for the admins , TMC tool for tanzu administration is made in such a way that admins can easily understand it to create & manage the k8s clusters. Creation & administration of RBAC is so simple via TMC. I like the granularity of Tanzu observability tool which gives the monitoring in effocoent way , can be integrated with 3rd party tools like helm , contour etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tanzu?

Tanzu implementation is so complex , may be it's my own point. Since we struggle to implement. TKGs is so simple to implement but TKGm is very complex , even after 6 months of struggle we couldn't implement & we dropped it ( even we have vmware support). The vmware tanzu support is not so great. For any tanzu issues they take more time to resolve. And faced couple of tanzu issues which doesn't have any solution except to recreate the k8s cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tanzu solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have migrated our k8s workloads from EKS to VMware Tanzu (onprem) to save the cost. We have reduced the cost , in that way management was very happy in saving a huge money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tanzu?

It's been an ideal option for me, enabling the platform to deploy the application successfully on a wide scale with consistent Kubernetes quality, giving me the advantage of having Multi-cloud Kubernetes management and End-to-end connection and security.

It also helps to modernize old apps without requiring any lifting, which is the beauty of this platform that allows customers like me to have smooth operation and deployments. Helps in integrating easily by using VMware vSphere in order to connect with other platforms.

I have been using it from past two years and the experience was really good and thanks for the customer support system also that lead me to solve the bugs quite easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tanzu?

It's a really good platform, but when compared to other cloud solution providers, users don't always choose it first. In my experience, too, integration isn't as good as when using cloud providers like AWS and Azure, though synchronization with Kafka might be a little simpler.

Tanzu is not a wise choice in such scenario because the support is also not that great if we require the first implementation and a better integration solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tanzu solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has been providing an effective and affordable platform for all types of organizations to use and manage, as well as good product features and usability, and it has assisted me in setting up the platform as I have been mostly working on AWS and an optimal solution with my lower data amounts, such as gigabytes, can be superfluous in order. The best solution, allowing me to query terabytes of data databases. It is also been providing learning courses that help me to learn more about the cloud and the deployments and to be familiar with the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tanzu?

Tanzu was so easy to set up, it's like having the greatest cloud backup. The way it manages Kubernetes is pure magic and the way it works well with different clouds is a game changer. Expansion is stress-free and it's important to play it safe. I love the flexibility the runtime box gives me, it allows me to use the tools I love. When it comes to collaboration, Tanzu is the ultimate team player with extensive cloud support and CI/CD tools. It's like having a tech expert who complicates things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tanzu?

Tanzu's learning curve was steeper than I expected, so my initial research was a bit of a headache. The data is clear, but there are simpler methods available. I often get distracted by jargon. Sometimes UI glitches can cause performance issues, and the tendency to use the platform abruptly can cause headaches. Improvements could be made regarding integration with CI/CD tools. Installation feels like a chore rather than a smooth process. Tanzu has her strengths, but her quirks can also be surprising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tanzu solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tanzu simplifies the intricate process of field orchestration, save me priceless time and effort. The resource management headache is eliminated by the car-scaling feature, which guarantees optimal performance without requiring frequent human adjustments. Because of the platform's versatility, I can select the container runtimes I want, creating a toolset that is unique for each of my endeavours. Tanzu's multi-cloud assistance makes it easy to participate in exclusive settings, and its smooth connection with CI/CD technologies expedites my development process. Fundamentally, Tanzu was a dependable and essential component of my arsenal, not only because it handles Kubernetes complexities but also because it enhances my whole improvement experience.

I've been impressed with how Tanzu has streamlined my app development process, allowing me to get my projects into production much faster. The platform focus on security gives me peace of mind, knowing that my applications are built on a solid foundation. Tanzu also automates many of the platform operations tasks, which frees up my time to focus on what I do good indirect developing great apps. The user interface is easy to navigate, and everything integrates seamlessly, making Tanzu a joy to work with. I highly recommend VMware Tanzu to any developer looking to boost their productivity and create top-notch applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tanzu?

Tanzu is a strong tool for managing Kubernetes and developing apps, but it has some downsides to consider. It can be complex to learn, it ties you to VMware, it doesn't have as many third-party tools, and it can be expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tanzu solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problem at our business want apps quickly, just like needing a house ready for a big family event. Tanzu speeds up the whole process, making it like finishing the house before the family arrives. Clients are happy because they get their apps on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tanzu?

Tanzu, in managing Kubernetes and making app development difficult. It has a bit of a learning curve and initial setup difficulty once you get the hang of it becomes hectic to use. The integration with CI/CD tools needs to be improved. The installation process needs to be smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tanzu?

Tanzu is marketed as a cost saving solution but lacks evidence of how it reduces expenses. It claims to simplify processes the platforms lack of transparency and detailed explanations make it difficult to trust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tanzu solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are resources for learning and troubleshooting leaving users to deal with issues independently. Tanzu falls short of delivering on its promises and providing a reliable experience, for users. Tanzu provides no flexibility in managing our business applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
