TAP is not that mature as TASbut that will change over time > > Tanzu products are the initial spark to start e devops transformation of big companies. Its the core devops platform ----- ### "Opinion on Tanzu" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 September 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The integration with our existing VMWare products > > **Cons**: The configuration and initial setup is quite hard and requires a lot of manual configuration > > Our software teams now have a k8s platform on which to deploy their applications moving away from the traditional VM based deployments giving them more freedom in technology choices and also giving them more control over what they deploy ----- ### "A lot of trial and error on rolling it out, wasted over a year to get some basic clusters" — 2.0/5 > **Boris** | *8 September 2023* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Not much at the moment, still waiting to get some value out of it > > **Cons**: It breaks all the time, stability is alpha at max, would never recommend it in this stage. There is no balance between new features added (really high) and stability (non-existent). ----- ### "A solid PaaS solution provided by Tanzu." — 4.0/5 > **Pawel** | *29 August 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the consistency and providing all the required tools by a single vendor. > > **Cons**: Documentation is still a weak point, especially after mergind Pivotal and VMware. > > As a benefit we've managed to support growing number of developers and project with the same PE staff capacity. ----- ### "For your cloud native needs Tanzu brings a big winner" — 5.0/5 > **Bradley** | *7 August 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: VMware's Tanzu was as expected a very polished product bringing together a k8s engine, service mesh and the latest container service interface for all your storage requirements. > > **Cons**: Weighing up the cost against opensource products like open stack and free flavours of k8s and the Tanzu product and VMware support needs some analysis. > > VMware's Tanzu brings a super solid service mesh backed by a very stable and tested Kubernetes engine. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/426865/vmware-tanzu?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/426865/vmware-tanzu) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
