"For me, the most important feature is alerting."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"Technical support was helpful and knowledgeable."
"It is very stable and scalable, and implementation is straightforward as well."
"VMware Tanzu (container) is the most valuable addition because you get an efficient solution to manage the VM and container in a single pane of glass."
"VMware's high availability which supports our SLA, VMware on the fly features like LUN expansion, P2V and API integrations are the most valuable features."
"The solution has high availability."
"The scalability of the solution is good. You can scale up to maximum levels."
"We saved a lot of time and hardware with this solution. It also prevents fewer incidents."
"We find the solution simple and efficient to manage."
"The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product."
"It's not that easy to use from the management side."
"Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me."
"Sometimes the solution give reports that are confusing and has errors. So the integration of the full solution with the resolution of resolving the error should be added in the next release.The solution should also provide more customization, automation, better documentation."
"The solution could improve the performance. We are not able to check the status of any system. Additionally, if there was an option to monitor server clusters it would be helpful."
"There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it."
"When you have to renew the licenses you sometimes have some trouble getting rid of the old one and reassigning it to the new one. That's an aspect that could run smoother and could be better."
"They need to support more platforms."
"The technical support is not too bad, but not the best."
"There are some challenges around ESXi hosts — converting them into VMs."
"They can lower the price of its license."
"VMware has amped up how frequently they release new versions and that adds instability to a stable environment."
"Archiving, exporting, and backing up need to be improved for this solution, because they're slower than expected."
"It would be nice to see it a little more tightly integrated with the patching solution so you could do it in one pane of glass. Right now, you have to jump back and forth. It's still not difficult, but you have to jump back and forth to do your update definitions and then go back and actually do the updates themselves."
"I do not find it to be simple and efficient to manage. The tools, the interface to manage it, are a pain. In the latest version, they moved us to web-only, the Web Client and it's terrible. It's slow. It crashes. It's annoying. I used the Web Client in the older version and was happy. I would go back to the regular thick client but I don't have that option anymore, so I am always fighting it."
"An improvement could be in terms of keeping up with the upgrades. The upgrades could be set in an automated way so that the newer features don't require you to manually update, or you get an option to update automatically. This would be a useful enhancement."
