We performed a comparison between AWS Trusted Advisor and VMware Aria Operations 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."The cost optimization and security-related fixes in AWS Trusted Advisor have been great."
"The Security Advisor is the most valuable feature. It instantly informs you about any system misconfigurations, and the best part is, it's completely free."
"The cost optimization features are valuable."
"AWS Trusted Advisor is a tool that we can use to optimize the AWS infrastructure cost."
"I like the dashboards. We can view in our service groups before something in our service goes wrong and causes issues."
"It's valuable because it helps us look at our performance statistics for our environment."
"It's intuitive and user-friendly, especially with the new clients. It's really nice. It's really easy to use. The HTML 5 client is light years ahead of the old one. Everything runs faster, it loads a lot quicker, it's a lot cleaner, the UI is easier to navigate."
"We use vRealize Operations Manager primarily for capacity management within our environment."
"The most valuable feature is the metrics, the ability to deep-dive into any issue we may be having from a virtual machine to a data store. Latency is a big thing - it's able to give us that metric pretty swiftly. And with our custom dashboards, it's all readily available."
"It has helped us improve our end users lives with our Horizon VDI monitoring. We can look at our Horizon environment, see our response times for our users, quickly drill into any latency issues, and proactively troubleshoot without the end user not even knowing."
"If you use the vCenter stuff, it's okay... but vROps actually gives you more realistic numbers."
"It is easy to use from its deployment architecture to use cases. It is straightforward for customers to use. It's a good product and better than the earlier versions."
"I'd like the solution to support clouds beyond AWS."
"For EC2 instances, we need to install the AWS CloudWatch agent to get the memory metric because we don't have a by-default memory utilization graph on cost optimization."
"The tenancy must be free for all metrics."
"Maybe adding more security rules would be great."
"There is a learning curve because it's a complex program. There is a lot to consume in terms of the metrics inside of it. That's the biggest hurdle: trying to understand all the places to go look."
"It was just a case of going in, looking around, learning it, and just getting a little bit of initial help for a few days."
"An area for improvement would be application-level monitoring."
"The tool itself is not as scalable as we'd like it to be. We have seven or more data centers and we have collectors deployed throughout the whole environment, but we have capacity and performance issues with the tool. We'd like to expand the product so that we would have more capacity, but it has limitations."
"Moving forward, I would like to see some tighter integration with the vSphere Web Client, just so that I don't have to open multiple windows and jump back and forth. We've currently running vSphere 6.7 and there is a lot tighter integration between vROps and vSphere, but it can always be better."
"We would like the return of the additional partner marketplaces, like DataCore. My customers miss the integration to DataCore."
"We had some problems with updating it. The two times that we upgraded vRealize Operations Manager, we lost all our data."
"For the most part, we have found it to be user-friendly. It has gotten better over time since the first version of vROps that I used. The interface has really improved since then."
