Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Nutanix, IBM and others in Virtualization Management Tools."My experience with the solution's technical support was perfect. They are so knowledgeable, all of them. They don't take any chances."
"The most valuable feature is all the metrics we get. They're really good. Being able to drill down and find out where the CPU and memory bottlenecks are and being able to tune them is really helpful."
"It's valuable because it helps us look at our performance statistics for our environment."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is integrated for monitoring, performance, and troubleshooting."
"Based on those usage patterns, we can determine when our best maintenance times are and when we need to scale things up or down."
"It helps an organization quickly create test and dev environments for developers to come up with new software and patch tests."
"We receive an overview from the dashboard of what is happening in our environment."
"One of the most valuable features is that it gives us granular insight into how the infrastructure is operating and running, down to the storage level, the hypervisor level, even the hardware level. It really gives us a deep dive into what is going on and lets us see. Instead of our having to figure it out, it figures it out for us. It is also user-friendly and intuitive."
"I like the fact that the performance is good and that it makes it easy to consolidate all your servers."
"When something breaks, it's not easy for us to fix. I'm running a banking solution at my company and when there's a problem, I need to be proactive and quick to resolve the problem immediately."
"They should include an integration feature through which we can connect to different vendors by installing a small plugin."
"It can be user-friendly once you get the dashboard set up but it can be complicated to get the information you want, the way you want it. Finally, if there were an easier way to share dashboards, that would be a big one."
"If I put on the hat of a client, I would say cost needs improvement. For clients with reasonable-sized infrastructure farms, you're looking at licensing at either per socket or per VM, and if you have an installation of any size, you're doing it per socket, and the per-socket licensing is a little heavy. Per VM license, if they have large numbers of VM, it is just not practical."
"We would like better integration with the cloud because we use a multi-vendor cloud. We use AWS, which is fine, but we also use Azure and Google. We would like better plugins to those other two providers."
"The only problem we have is monitoring of the disk space used by the program."
"The solution could improve by having more APIs, customized alerts, and documentation."
"When you deploy it as a single node, it's more stable than if you have multiple nodes. We've had some issues with this."
"The one thing that I am always missing is training specific to Horizon. There is no training class you can go to for the Horizon add-on for vROps. I'd like to see specific training for Horizon admins, as opposed to general vSphere admins."
