Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Appian and others in Process Automation."We can manage and relocate resources easily."
"The most valuable feature for us is the performance stability of vCenter Orchestrator, especially in complex situations, making it excellent for managing virtual machines."
"The implementation phase for vCenter Orchestrator was easy."
"The solution is pretty stable and reliable."
"It is the most cost-effective method for moving data between machines."
"We can scale the solution."
"The product's integration is good, it works well with other programs and solutions."
"vCenter Orchestrator is very reliable and stable."
"We use the solution to connect clouds to different clouds."
"The most valuable features of the vCloud Director are global management, added services, and automation."
"We use it to replicate VMs for our customers from one data center to another data center."
"vCloud Director is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features are the UI, the interface, and accessibility."
"We consider it intuitive and user-friendly. It offers a variety of functions for the customer to control the networking, virtual workloads, disk snapshots, and all of vSphere's core features."
"The solution has more capabilities than OpenStack and integrates well with NSX and vCenter."
"This solution has helped us make money and provision our clients faster."
"VMware tools would benefit from more automation. When installing our devices and servers, we often need to install the VMware tools manually. This process should be automated during the VM installation process."
"The licensing is expensive and should be improved."
"I would like to see a greater ability to do mobile administration."
"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."
"Storage has room for improvement. It's a big problem for our solution. The interface also needs improvement, it should be simplified."
"The cost of the solution is high."
"vCenter Orchestrator's debugging capacity could be improved."
"The GUI should be enhanced in the future."
"The initial setup of the vCloud Director was not complex and not easy, it was in the middle range of difficulty. It could be made easier."
"It would be nice to see some new features in respect of the GUI."
"Lacks integration with the hyperscalers."
"It would be beneficial if some features were built into the platform rather than requiring integration with multiple products, reducing complexity and licensing concerns."
"If I just need to look for something quickly, it's quite difficult to find it with the way it's set up now. They should make the search button better."
"The tool needs to add more features to improve the console."
"We use vCloud Director along with Terraform, and it's difficult to make them work together. It takes a long time to deploy virtual machines with Terraform in vCloud Director. For example, it can take about one or two hours to create 10 machines. It takes up a lot of our DevOps' and engineers' time in comparison to that with other solutions. This is an area that they should work on and improve."
"The solution requires a lot of hardware and resources for cloud deployment than other competitors. Additionally, the performance could improve."
