We performed a comparison between AWS Trusted Advisor and VMware Aria Operations based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Security Advisor is the most valuable feature. It instantly informs you about any system misconfigurations, and the best part is, it's completely free."
"AWS Trusted Advisor is a tool that we can use to optimize the AWS infrastructure cost."
"The cost optimization features are valuable."
"The cost optimization and security-related fixes in AWS Trusted Advisor have been great."
"The stability in vRealize has been great. We've had no outages nor impacts. The upgrade process has been great so far."
"The reporting is a fantastic tool. It's a great tool for generating reports on different things, and for historically looking at performance metrics to help solve performance problems in an application stack."
"We are not constantly having to babysit or troubleshoot it. It does what it is designed to do, and it does a very good job of it."
"The most valuable feature is the way you can look at your virtual machine and see if it's using too many resources or not enough, and you can add resources to it if you need to, or take some away to save on them."
"We use the product to minimize downtime, as well as be in a position to plan for future growth."
"We appreciate that this solution gives accurate reporting."
"The automation brings insight into how we will grow. I can look at it, then make my recommendations on what equipment we need to do for the next fiscal year."
"The newer version is a lot easier to use than the older version. It's one of the easiest ways to obtain some insight into vCenter."
"The tenancy must be free for all metrics."
"I'd like the solution to support clouds beyond AWS."
"For EC2 instances, we need to install the AWS CloudWatch agent to get the memory metric because we don't have a by-default memory utilization graph on cost optimization."
"Maybe adding more security rules would be great."
"When we first bought it, our vision was to use role-based access, give application teams access to view a dashboard for their stuff. We found out that the vROps tool can't handle more than about 20 concurrent sessions... We have some 3000 applications."
"We have started to do containers and I would like to see a feature to monitor our container infrastructure. If we can do our monitoring and performance troubleshooting of them through this tool, that would be a nice-to-have."
"I would like to see more features, especially in the way of Flash to HTML5."
"The integration points can use improvement. We currently use a lot of third-party management packs to get insights for SQL, HP or Dell EMC. If we could have more integration built in as a standard feature that would make it slightly better."
"There is room for improvement in asset management and resource usage."
"The what-if analysis section is not very advanced and there is a lot of room for improvement."
"There are some problems with integration, particularly with Slack, though these have been improved in the latest release."
"At the beginning, the stability was not that good. The latest versions are much better."
