Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Zerto, IBM and others in Cloud Migration."The solution is agile and it has APIs for integration."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward if you have a basic setup."
"I can define all components and create a blueprint for consumption across all services."
"Cisco has a lot of published information and documentation that helps users understand the product and its offering very well."
"The solution includes a lot of features and is useful because you can configure all the way down to ports."
"Upgrades are very simple as well because they've allowed us to get updates directly in the CloudCenter Suite manager. If you need to do an upgrade to your setup afterward, you just push a button and it rolls out the parts and retires the old ones. It's seamless and very simple compared to what we've done before."
"Cisco CloudCenter's scalability is good."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"The implementation phase for vCenter Orchestrator was easy."
"What I like best about vCenter Orchestrator is that it makes life easier through automation. People can request to automate all processes with vCenter Orchestrator, such as adding storage, creating VMs, removing VMs, and extending VMs."
"We can manage and relocate resources easily."
"Because of the central management, the scripting engine and workflow engine are integrated with VMware without any burden to integrate different products."
"vCenter Orchestrator is easy to use."
"It's 100% stable, it's always stable. We haven't had any bugs. The solution works very well and we haven't had any problems."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"vCenter Orchestrator's best features are the workflows, integration with third-party applications, and the workflow library."
"They can add some of those features to make the platform more usable for different backgrounds and developer skills."
"They should provide an entire cloud offering, from architecture to network security features."
"Improvements are needed in UI and multi-tenancy for this solution."
"The solution needs to be more simple."
"The improvement I would like to see is not one thing particular to CloudCenter. I'd say it's more of a message that the system is still using a lot of the different products and if they would all just fit better together, they all could be faster together."
"The tool should improve its security on the XDR part."
"You don't get all the solution's benefits if you have older switches."
"I'm not a big fan of CloudCenter. I don't have anything against it, however, the on-premise version has been so hard to upgrade and maintain."
"Its technical support team takes a long time to escalate the issues."
"Many times, customers' licenses are not used because the client is not aware of the features and the product benefits. When somebody is buying a product, they just do a default configuration."
"We would like more flexibility in sizing data storage and virtual machines, as the current options aren't very adaptable."
"In the next release, to make it easier to write the workflows, I would l like to see more HTML GUIs."
"The custom workflows are very difficult and confusing."
"As we work towards more stability on the solution, sometimes we'll try something and it breaks and it's easier to restart the service. That's the only drawback. We've experienced this with other applications as well."
"I liked the previous client better than the current web client of vCenter Orchestrator, though my colleagues like the client now. The technical support for vCenter Orchestrator needs improvement."
"vCenter Orchestrator's debugging capacity could be improved."
