D2iQ Mesosphere	Score7.5 out of 10	N/A	D2iQ (formerly Mesosphere) still supports the Mesosphere solution, which is designed for operations at a very large scale. It's powered by DC/OS, a production-proven cloud native platform that runs containers and data services on the same infrastructure.

User Testimonials
	Cycle	D2iQ Mesosphere
Likelihood to Recommend	Cycle No answers on this topic	D2iQ Mesosphere is well suited for orchestrating workloads. It supports Docker as a container as well as support others. It is highly suitable for running resilient and auto recovering big data/application containers. Mesosphere has proven time and again to be production ready at a massive scale. It supports native single button/API call scale up and scale down and supports various deployment patterns like Blue-Green and others. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Pros	Cycle No answers on this topic	D2iQ 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 Verified User Read full review
Cons	Cycle No answers on this topic	D2iQ 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.

Alternatives Considered	Cycle No answers on this topic	D2iQ I happen to like mesosphere because it integrates well with a Jenkins based workflow, Deis is a little more Heroku like and it's not clear how to fit that model into a continuous-integration process. Kubernetes has also been criticized for being complicated. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Return on Investment	Cycle No answers on this topic	D2iQ 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 Verified User Read full review
