D2iQ Mesosphere vs. HPE Morpheus

I think right now Mesosphere is newer to Windows environments and has some challenges with stepping in to big data scenarios where YARN is currently being used.

Incentivized

We use Morpheus and graphene to monitor our on-premise servers. A consistent tool for using across servers/VMs, databases and networking equipment would provide a wholistic monitoring experience

Incentivized

• Deploying mesosphere and friends (e.g. marathon)
• Deploying applications (e.g. Cassandra, Jenkins, Spark) on to mesosphere
• Providing value add components such as velocity, and marathon-lb

Incentivized

• Copious native 3rd party integrations.
• Ties into multiple public and private clouds for single management plane.
• True multi-tenancy.

Incentivized

• Setting up is a bit of a hassle, especially ZooKeeper state management and mesos and marathon quorum.
• Occasionally, I observed some failures when deploying something onto Marathon. Logging or detailed error reporting can help.
• Stale containers and inconsistent states resultant of the cluster failure are hard to solve and need a complete system restart to get it back to normal state.

Incentivized

• More dashboard/visualization capabilities

We have always been able to reach the support organization at Morpheus on the rare event we needed them. They have been nothing but helpful.

Mesosphere vs. ECS Mesosphere has a direct competition with companies using AWS Cloud, as the ECS product is one of the closest competitors to Mesosphere. Mesosphere has an edge with simplistic hosting and deep and easy integration with Jenkins Pipelines and native plugins support. ECS, on the other hand, does not have much integration with the continuous integration process and is somewhat complex to maintain and manage.

We previously were using VRA. VRA, while some of the new versions look interesting is hard for both administration as well as end user consumption.

Incentivized

• I see mesosphere as having a positive impact overall on the industry trending Docker and containers in general.
• Seeing how mesosphere helps and simplifies things for the developer and ops, it is definitely a game changer.
• Native support of on demand scaling up and down as per the need is one of the best features.

Incentivized

• It has allowed us to shorten operational time that it took to provide resources to teams.
• There is better cost visibility in the different cloud solutions.
