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.

Image scanning has supported consistent security practices during cloud deployment
On a scale of ten, we would say people are happy with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks for the part we use. People are okay with it. We probably would give an eight. We don't give ten because if we don't use the other parts of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, it's because it was difficult to implement from an operational point of view. We could have deployed the runtime monitoring with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, but within our organization at our company, it was very difficult to find who would be the owner for the alerts. People have other tools and in the end, we don't use the full capabilities of a product that we pay for. It's partially related to the difficulty to integrate Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks runtime in our company's support process. We don't use the real-time monitoring part of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks. We don't know about the automated remediation feature of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If we compare legacy application support to Docker, it's a superior product."
"I think the volume binding is a really interesting feature."
"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."
"It is a stable solution. It is nearly perfect. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"Mirantis Container Cloud provides significant features such as real-time vulnerability scanning and patching for container images and Kubernetes components, reducing security risks."
"What I like most about Docker is that it is straightforward and easy to use, yet powerful."
"The most valuable aspect is the excellent support. In addition, the billing system is really easy to understand."
"If we compare legacy application support to Docker, it's a superior product."
"We are provided with a single tool to protect all of our cloud resources and applications without having to manage and reconcile compliance reports."
"The features of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks are overall satisfying, although I would like to verify some aspects."
"The opportunity in our company is good because we are already using Red Hat at different stages of cloud computing."
"The CWP module, runtime protection, and WAAS API are valuable."
"From the CSPM perspective, RQL in Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is a feature where we can conduct any kind of investigation and create our own custom policies, which is really helpful because in the cloud, there are millions of assets and with RQL, we can drill down to as fine a level as per our requirement."
"With Prisma Cloud, I can just select 30 AWS accounts, generate one report, and I've got everything I need to know, out-of-the-box."
"I like Prisma's ability to integrate with other tools. We can integrate it with Jira so that when Prisma triggers an alert, it opens a ticket in Jira. That was a big selling point for the product. There's a feature called the guest custom template that allows you to trigger alerts in Jira based on the template. That can also be added as a feature on Jira."
"It has improved the overall collaboration between SecOps and DevOps. Now, instead of asking people to do something, it is a default offering in the CI/CD. There is less manual intervention and more seamless integration. It is why we don't have many dependencies across many teams, which is definitely a better state."
 

Cons

"There could be an automation feature included in the product. It will speed up application processes and will not require scripting codes."
"I think this solution needs better security due to more risks from the outside world."
"Sometimes the basic support is a bit difficult if you have a firewall and cloud servers behind the firewall and then try to implement the backup solution, it can be a bit difficult to do by yourself."
"The solution would benefit in improvements made to the storage, cleaning up information from the disk, and reading logs."
"On the MacBook, it was a little difficult, probably because of the version that my company is using."
"When it comes to the integration part, it's the basic functionality, but for any product, at the end of the day, security is extremely relevant. I personally feel like you have to constantly strive towards being more secure. You can never be 100% secure, and you have to work more toward security. It's as simple as that."
"Docker's technical support is a struggling area."
"The orchestration and tracing should be improved."
"More documentation with real-world use cases would be helpful."
"The UI is good, however, they could improve the experience."
"Prisma Cloud's dashboards should be customizable; other similar solutions are more elastic so you have the power to create customized dashboards, but in Prisma Cloud, you cannot do that."
"The automation must continue to become much smoother."
"Palo Alto needs to add more support staff to improve their response time."
"The cost of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is too high. I would also appreciate the addition of NLP to reduce the learning curve and make configuring queries more user-friendly."
"The alignment of Twistlock Defender agents with image repositories needs improvement. These deployed agents have no way of differentiating between on-premise and cloud-based image repositories. If I deploy a Defender agent to secure an on-premise Kubernetes cluster, that agent also tries to scan my ECR image repositories on AWS. So, we have limited options for aligning those Defenders with the repositories that we want them to scan. It is scanning everything rather than giving us the ability to be real granular in choosing which agents can scan which repositories."
"They need to improve the API gateway."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price and ten means high price."
"Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The solution is open-source and free to try."
"With open source, you can use Mirantis completely free."
"Docker is a free solution."
"Mirantis Container Cloud is free. However, there are features for which you need to pay."
"The pricing and licensing really depends on what your needs are. You could be paying $100 a month to $100,000. It depends on the needs you have from the solution, and the agreement you make."
"We use the free version of this solution."
"From my exposure so far, they have been really flexible on whatever your current state is, with a view to what the future state might be. There's no hard sell. They "get" the journey that you're on, and they're trying to help you embrace cloud security, governance, and compliance as you go."
"Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is a highly expensive solution."
"Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks has helped the company save some money. Cost-wise, it's okay."
"I wouldn't mind if it were cheaper. We are spending a fair amount of money on Prisma Cloud."
"The pricing and licensing are expensive compared to the other offerings that we considered."
"We are encountering some resistance in the African market regarding the cost of Prisma Cloud."
"Prisma Cloud is more expensive than Check Point CloudGuard."
"This solution is good for a company with at least 400 people that must be connected remotely. For smaller companies, it can be too expensive."
