We performed a comparison between vCenter Orchestrator and VMware Aria Operations based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Appian and others in Process Automation."What I like best about vCenter Orchestrator is that it makes life easier through automation. People can request to automate all processes with vCenter Orchestrator, such as adding storage, creating VMs, removing VMs, and extending VMs."
"In regards to the workflows, the fact that we can actually have a full dashboard library of all the existing workflows on this is great. We can see all the workflows and what all the actions do and can work with scripts."
"The solution is stable."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its good automation features."
"The solution is pretty stable and reliable."
"We can manage and relocate resources easily."
"The most crucial feature of vCenter is its scalability. We can use it to expand our network, so we don't have to report our client devices. The network configuration features are also helpful because we can migrate entire networks."
"The most valuable features for us are some of the trending and analysis on workloads. It doesn't just look to see if something is maximized at 100%. It figures out what the normal is for the application, so it's not just if something is maxed out and causing a problem, but if something is higher than normal or running outside of its normal range. This helps us to identify something that other products might not necessarily note as an issue."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature for us. When our customers have a problem and we can monitor it in real time or evaluate the history of the problem."
"We have effectively reduced a lot of our memory and we love the Idle VMs."
"Most valuable features are the dashboards that we can customize per-user that logs into them. If we need to make a dashboard that's very high-level for our executive to see how our virtual environment's handling things, we can do that. Or, if we need to deep-dive technically, we can do that for our engineers."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is integrated for monitoring, performance, and troubleshooting."
"It provides us with predictive analysis of the capacity, helping us plan the scalability of resources."
"It has allowed us to identify problems sooner and helps us with problems and issues."
"The most valuable feature would be the ability to plug into the data feeds that we have and pull information from physical hardware as well as the virtual layer. The best feature is the visualization of what's going on, so we can take a very quick look and see if there are any issues that stand out."
"There are some update-related issues with the product."
"Mainly VMware integrates with other products, but there is no easy way to link with other products from a different vendor. We can integrate with other products from the same vendors fairly well, but if they could make it so integration is easier with other vendors, that would really help."
"The solution's price could be cheaper."
"I would like to see a greater ability to do mobile administration."
"In the next release, to make it easier to write the workflows, I would l like to see more HTML GUIs."
"The GUI should be enhanced in the future."
"I would like to see better performance."
"The snapshot technology of VMware is not good compared to other solutions in the market, like Nutanix."
"It could be a little bit quicker to drill into."
"There is room for improvement in asset management and resource usage."
"In vCenter 6.7, there are themes. I would like to see that add to vRealize Operations as well."
"If I had a container solution deployed on top of a VMware infrastructure, or outside as well, it would be really helpful."
"I'd like to see a little more training, free training on the VMware site; to get some more information within the VMware community. There's quite a bit of stuff out there but getting that access can be daunting sometimes."
"Technical support is good, once you pass the first level."
"They need to improve the capacity and infrastructure planning side of things. Also, I would like to see them integrate more stuff, with more detailed monitoring and different cloud providers."
"vROps is user-friendly, but configuration is a little bit hard. It is also hard if you want to customize it for your data center, especially without VMware training. The user interface should be improved so that a new user can easily configure it for his own use."
