Kuma vs XYZ

• Greenfield-only: Hyper-focused on new greenfield applications, without providing a journey to modernize existing workloads running on VM and Bare Metal platforms where the current business runs today, in addition to Kubernetes.
• Complicated to use: Service Mesh doesn’t have to be complicated, but early implementations were hard to use; they had poor documentation and no clear upgrade path to mitigate breaking changes.
• For hobbyists, not organizations: Lack of understanding of the challenges enterprise organizations face today, with poor support and implementation models.

• Universal and Kubernetes-Native: Platform-agnostic, can run and operate anywhere.
• Simple to deploy: In one step, across both Kubernetes and other platforms.
• Enterprise-Ready: Pragmatic platform for the Enterprise that delivers business value today.
