Cons
"Access is only available if we're on VPN.""The stability, specifically in the on-premises deployment model, could be improved.""Areas for improvement would be the service catalog and customer catalog, which is not very user-friendly. The shopping cart experience is also terrible - you submit and go straight to the cart, you can't continue shopping or see your overall cost.""Application service mapping, GRC, SecOps, and things like that need improvement."

"I would like to have an easy way of modifying the reference data that is used for the purposes of estimating the total billing.""The product needs some investment in configuration. I would like to see better and more optimized configuration in the tool's future releases.""If you haven't established a vSphere cluster and you only have a single server to integrate, you can't deploy any service.""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.""The pricing model is complicated and would be more predictable if it were simplified.""I would like it if they could provide their customers with more qualified support.""It would be a good idea for VMware to be compatible with the most popular orchestration tools in the market.""Better integration with other VMware toolsets would be beneficial."
