We performed a comparison between BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management and vCloud Director based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."CLM has a multi-cloud portal because they have the resources to implement in various environments in various ports."
"Supports unattended installs and image-based, script-based, or template-based provisioning."
"Integrates role-based access control with pre-configured policies for CIS, DISA, HIPAA, PCI, SOX, NIST, and SCAP documentation and remediation."
"By allowing end users to request their own services, the request process for systems is much quicker and more accurate."
"Assesses change impact or completes an audit using multiple dashboard views."
"Automates Java EE Application Deployment from an SCM system."
"You can tie together your public and private cloud infrastructure into a "single pane of glass"."
"This is the go-to tool for anyone looking for standard out-of-the-box capabilities in a fully multitenant public cloud software that they can leverage to offer services to their customers."
"The most valuable feature of vCloud Director is the scaling architecture that they have built."
"The self-service portal is the most valuable. We are acting as a service provider, so our customers can take care of their virtual data centers with the self-service portal. Therefore, we don't need staff for it."
"They can do any provisioning for the virtual machines. For instance, they will only see those resources if we allocate 10 Ghz database storage. The limitation is due to our setup: we need to ensure customer isolation, as vCloud Director supports multi-tenancy."
"Their technical support is great. We had some difficult cases and they were able to solve them in a timely manner."
"The most valuable features of the vCloud Director are global management, added services, and automation."
"This solution has helped us make money and provision our clients faster."
"So far, we have had no problems at all, as it has been very stable. It is working well."
"One of the major problems is that support is not so good."
"The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."
"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
"Cloud Director has room for improvement in many areas. One critical thing that comes to mind is the hyperscalers. They could be more seamlessly integrated into the hybrid cloud."
"This is very simple in OpenShift. We are happy with vCloud in terms of the virtualization but not for redundancy and distribution."
"What could be improved in vCloud Director, particularly from the networking side, is its integration with other network devices. It also needs a more simplified installation because the process is a little bit complicated."
"Database services need to go beyond what they are currently doing."
"It would be beneficial if some features were built into the platform rather than requiring integration with multiple products, reducing complexity and licensing concerns."
"The solution should add other hypervisors so things like hover wizards can be automated."
"The initial setup of the vCloud Director was not complex and not easy, it was in the middle range of difficulty. It could be made easier."
"This solution could improve by adding root cause analysis."
