Cons
"The reporting needs to be improved.""The product should improve its ability to integrate with third-party tools.""We had issues with the user interface, the way it was structured wasn't that user-friendly. The chat features could improve. For example, in change management, all the chat discussions can be done via ServiceNow. We are using two separate solutions, such as Teams, to chat, and the Alemba vFire tool to process."

"It would be a good idea for VMware to be compatible with the most popular orchestration tools in the market.""The pricing model is complicated and would be more predictable if it were simplified.""The solution's private cloud is much too expensive.""The product needs some investment in configuration. I would like to see better and more optimized configuration in the tool's future releases.""Better integration with other VMware toolsets would be beneficial.""The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved.""There are some kinks to resolve with the Web GUI user interface, as it freezes at times.""If you haven't established a vSphere cluster and you only have a single server to integrate, you can't deploy any service."
