Very happy with TAS overall from Platform and Developer perspective. Having challenges in adopting TAP and TKGI overall due to the additional complexity involved from app development all the way to release and day-2 operations

Feature rich, Developer First mindset, Ease of deployment and releases, Long Term Support versions for more conservative and quarterly releases for more aggressive. Baked in Security.

Pricing Model for different products varies drastically. Certificate management not very easy. Compatibility with other VMware products like ESX, NSX in addition to some of the Cloud offerings.

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

The integration with our existing VMWare products

The configuration and initial setup is quite hard and requires a lot of manual configuration

Not much at the moment, still waiting to get some value out of it

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).

As a benefit we've managed to support growing number of developers and project with the same PE staff capacity.

I like the consistency and providing all the required tools by a single vendor.

Documentation is still a weak point, especially after mergind Pivotal and VMware.

The overall experience is great. This is a promising and developing solution. Of course, there are some things that can be done differently. However, most of the time, implementation, migration and maintenance of the vSphere with Tanzu platform are at a satisfactory level.Project in my company is still growing and new implementation are on the way - for example, deployment and vSphere with Tanzu with NSX-T.

Easy deployment process of the vSphere with Tanzu. I don't see any major problems with integration to good known DevOps tools like: Gitlab, Jenkins, Artifactory, Terraform, Vault. New platform customers are happy to use Tanzu environment. Developers don't need to make big changes in CI/CD pipeline to deploy application at TKGs clusters. Tanzu platform is regularly updated which is an advantage. I like few different ways to deploy and configure clusters (for example TMC, shell script, Jenkins pipeline etc)

Sometimes I see lack of documentation for some configurations, for example: - I don't see any mention in docs to which sites I need to open network traffic to run Lite/Conformance tests in the TMC;- Configuration of the Fluentbit with Elasticsearch is a bit tricky. I spent many hours with support and by myself to configure it properly;- Sometimes support need much time to resolve issues or need to investigate problem with an engineering team
