"The fact that it automates a lot of manual processes in a net new environment build is most valuable."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of migrating from on-premises infrastructure when transitioning away from older systems."
"VMware Cloud Foundation provides us with the vSphere dashboard through which we can manage, monitor, schedule, and spin up your virtual machines. We can manage, monitor, and get reports of your infrastructure."
"The mission aspect of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"I like that VMware Cloud Foundation reduces both the installation and setup time from a matter of weeks to hours."
"The DSR feature is valuable because we have internal clustering, and these features are good for us."
"You can use VMware Cloud Foundation with hyper-converge."

"If we can have certified compatibility with other companies, such as Oracle, then it would let us know that they function correctly together."
"There are other services that Nutanix has that could be improved, but I'm not very familiar with the other services of Nutanix, such as Era and Flow. However, they seem a bit hard for us to implement and integrate with the Nutanix Acropolis AOS and other Nutanix tools. We would not dare to implement those other Nutanix solutions into Nutanix Acropolis AOS right now. The implementation of that tool could be the problem, I am a bit hesitant to implement the other tools into Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"Native File-Services are under heavy development and Container Services just came out."
"I would like to be able to connect the APIs."
"We would like the ability to write to both sites at the same time, in a synchronous fashion."
"VMware Cloud Foundation can improve the process of upgrading. For example, if you want to upgrade or migrate any component it is very complex."
"In the early adoption of VMware Cloud Foundation, we have seen minor problems. For example, in our Federation, I see the single pane of glass where we need to manage everything, which is good. However, internally, we have a Kafka database that is distributed by the database used by the SDDC manager. During the distribution and synchronization, there is some issue and we need to stop the process."
"From a stability perspective, there may be some issues."
"They need to offer more support for Mac."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of troubleshooting."
"The pricing could be a bit less expensive."
