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

"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."
"I use Docker in combination with Kubernetes. Management of software packages is easy. It also can be done fast. Rolling out new software updates is smoother and faster due to Mirantis Container Cloud."
"Docker is very helpful for taking the code from development and applying it to the end user."
"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."
"Main products are portable."
"The UI is very useful."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"You need to make an architectural runway before actually starting to implement Docker Compose, especially in a distributed environment."
"This positively affected our confidence in your security and compliance. No matter how complex the environment is, the the seamless integration from the top layer itself give us the immediate visibility on the number of services."
"It helps to identify the misconfigurations by monitoring regularly which helps to secure the organization's cloud environment."
"The most valuable feature is its cloud security posture management."
"The CSPM and CWPP functionalities are pretty good."
"My favorite feature is the CWPP module. We can define various kinds of rules for vulnerabilities, incidents, or suspicious activities."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the continuous cloud compliance monitoring and alerting."
"Through Prisma Cloud, we can write Lambda functions, configure policies to check the security posture, and get reports. We can do a lot more."
 

Cons

"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 is a bit difficult to do by yourself."
"There are a couple of things. Firstly, the vaultStore database within Container isn't as efficient as a standalone Container vault. This needs improvement."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"The solution would benefit in improvements made to the storage, cleaning up information from the disk, and reading logs."
"Mirantis Container Cloud needs to improve its documentation."
"An improvement would be automated testing."
"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."
"In my previous years, I have brainstormed about the development of Container software. I have recently shifted focus, but the knowledge gained from those were really helpful. In my experience, Containers have their own complexities and to implement them, open source information is crucial. A software with new features would be beneficial. I suggest to implement a flow-based approach for container sequences, similar to Google Cloud's machine learning. The current process of deploying containers involves too many steps, and a more streamlined method would be appreciated. I've even automated deployment using APIs. Overall, simplifying container management and deployment processes would be valuable."
"Prisma Cloud supports generating CSV files, but I would also like it to generate PDF files for reporting."
"When there are updates, whether daily, weekly, or monthly, it needs configuration or permission adjustments. There is no automation for that, which is too bad."
"The pricing for the solution needs improvement."
"There needs to be a mechanism that allows me to manually configure compliance more easily."
"They should improve the user experience."
"The automation must continue to become much smoother."
"The information presented in the UI sometimes doesn't look intuitive enough."
"We'd like to have more native integration with clouds and additional security checks in the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"It is more costly than other products, but it is worth every penny."
"This solution is free."
"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."
"The product is not expensive."
"With open source, you can use Mirantis completely free."
"Docker is a free solution."
"The community edition does not require a license and is completely free."
"We are encountering some resistance in the African market regarding the cost of Prisma Cloud."
"Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is a highly expensive solution."
"Our licensing fees are $18,000 USD per year."
"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."
"In general, Prisma Cloud is much cheaper than cloud-native services."
"The price for Prisma Cloud is reasonable."
"Prisma Cloud is remarkably expensive."
"Almost all the CSPM tools are pretty expensive."
