"The initial setup is easy."
"This solution enables us to improve our daily processing times. We can do everything faster than before we used this solution."

"The capabilities of the product to schedule on multiple platforms, multiple operating systems."
"The orchestration and automation are very valuable."
"I have found the solution scales well."
"vCloud Director is a stable solution."
"Key enhancements include better synchronization with vCenter and increased reliability, ensuring stability during extensive usage and various actions."
"It has helped us with user segmentation and QA."
"Remote console (ability to control booting and OS installation process)."
"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."
"If a customer is looking for disaster recovery at a cheaper price, this is the best solution."
"Needs better documentation with fully explained examples for some of the job types."
"Performance improvements in the UI would be appreciated."
"The WCC could be improved."
"Quick search feature and job analysis could be improved."
"They could do better supporting it. They have too many of the same type of products, so sometimes it doesn't get as much attention as it should."
"A better graphical user interface, because we have a lot of people using the client utility, and we want to get them away from that."
"We have to escalate through channels to get to somebody who knows what's going on. It takes time that we do not necessarily have."
"AutoSys Workload Automation could improve the integration."
"vCloud Director could use the vCenter database to store information. This way, we don't end up in a situation where we have things going out of sync."
"The product could use a billing feature so we can automate billing for clients."
"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."
"Technical support is something that we've had problems with in the past. Across all the VMware solutions we have not always had the best response from support. To be fair a lot of the issues that came up for us have been quite niche but it seems that in terms of release cycles they introduced a lot of bugs and it's a lot of stuff that support generally has to work quite hard on. There have been cases when we've logged critical priority issues and not had responses in time. I think support is something that can be worked on."
"I would like to see mode accessory recovery and integration with SD-WAN."
"The solution's installation is difficult, and you need somebody with the solution's knowledge to do the installation."
"The product installation process could be easier for new users as well."
"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."
