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

"It is a compact, complete solution that performs well."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is by far creating your own image, which lets you have an environment for whatever you are working on that is exactly how you want it and gives you a feeling of complete control."
"If we compare legacy application support to Docker, it's a superior product."
"The initial setup was really easy and the deployment was fast and straightforward."
"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."
"Very easy solution to use as it is intuitive."
"Ansible (when combined with Docker and Docker deployment tools) wins any time of the day."
"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 real-time detection and monitoring of our entire system is the most useful."
"One of the most valuable features is the compliance of RedLock, which we are using for any issues with security. It flags them and that's the primary objective of that feature."
"Engineering is thinking it's easy to integrate because we use many Red Hat products."
"I've been really pleasantly surprised with how Prisma Cloud is, over time, covering more and more of the topics I care about, and listening to customer feedback and growing the product in the right directions."
"The visibility on alerts helps you investigate more easily and see details faster."
"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 helps to identify the misconfigurations by monitoring regularly which helps to secure the organization's cloud environment."
"It gave us visibility into and control over complex cloud environments, which helped us feel better about our security and secure the environment with the clinical data."
 

Cons

"Mirantis Container Cloud could improve in simplifying security and compliance management, particularly in vulnerability scanning and patching."
"This solution is open-source and they need to focus on improving the Linux Operating Systems' GUI. It does not have a GUI making it not user-friendly. Additionally, the containers need to improve security and compliance."
"This product will only be useful if it can successfully run legacy applications in the cloud."
"An improvement would be automated testing."
"I find Docker easier to use, but I gave it to an inexperienced developer and it took him a lot of time to understand."
"The orchestration and tracing should be improved."
"There are a couple of things. Firstly, the vaultStore database within Container isn't as efficient as a standalone Container vault. This needs improvement."
"I think this solution needs better security due to more risks from the outside world."
"The data security model needs improvement due to integration issues with certain features and cloud providers."
"We had some teething issues with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, but overall, it did what we expected."
"The UI could use some improvement; we usually find the information we're looking for, but what fields can be clicked on and what workflow to follow to get the required information is not always evident. Sometimes we're all over the place, clicking around to drill in and uncover the alert and investigation details we're looking for."
"It would be ideal if they could somehow reduce the deployment time."
"More documentation with real-world use cases would be helpful."
"They should improve the user experience."
"The UI could be improved."
"I would like Prisma Cloud to improve its mapping feature to increase usability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The community edition does not require a license and is completely free."
"The solution is open-source and free to try."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price and ten means high price."
"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."
"It is more costly than other products, but it is worth every penny."
"With open source, you can use Mirantis completely free."
"One thing we're very pleased about is how the licensing model for Prisma is based on work resources. You buy a certain amount of work resources and then, as they enable new capabilities within Prisma, it just takes those work resource units and applies them to new features. This enables us to test and use the new features without having to go back and ask for and procure a whole new product, which could require going through weeks, and maybe months, of a procurement process."
"Prisma Cloud Enterprise is a costly solution. You need a license for all the components. At the same time, you have everything under one roof, so I think it's still justified."
"The pricing structure is easy to understand. Depending on the use case the pricing of the solution can be different. There are not any additional costs to the standard living fees."
"The pricing for Prisma Cloud is high. Providing a pay-as-you-go model or pricing options tailored for medium and small enterprises could help attract more clients."
"Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks carries a higher cost, but its enhanced security measures justify the expense."
"You can expect a premium price because it is a premium quality product by a leading supplier."
"Prisma Cloud's licensing system functions as expected with a solid licensing infrastructure."
"The pricing is good. They gave us some good discounts right at the end of the year based on the value that it brings, visibility, and the ability to build in cloud, compliance, and security within one dashboard."
