You need about half an hour, and then you can install or deploy it on several systems. That was our first great advantage in the project because we urgently needed to deploy across many different systems.""I like the integration with other applications or vendors.""The tool helps us to monitor the services provided to customers as a cloud provider.

Cons
"The product should improve its ability to integrate with third-party tools.""The reporting needs to be improved.""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."

"The pricing model is complicated and would be more predictable if it were simplified.""The solution's private cloud is much too expensive.""The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved.""I would like to have an easy way of modifying the reference data that is used for the purposes of estimating the total billing.""It would be a good idea for VMware to be compatible with the most popular orchestration tools in the market.""The product needs some investment in configuration. I would like to see better and more optimized configuration in the tool's future releases.""There are some kinks to resolve with the Web GUI user interface, as it freezes at times.""It's not always easy to find the information you need. You must have a lot of technical experience to find the right location for what you're implementing within the program."
