We performed a comparison between Cisco CloudCenter and vCenter Orchestrator based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Zerto, IBM and others in Cloud Migration."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."
"You can scale it easily."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"Cisco CloudCenter's scalability is good."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward if you have a basic setup."
"The solution includes a lot of features and is useful because you can configure all the way down to ports."
"The solution is agile and it has APIs for integration."
"Cisco has a lot of published information and documentation that helps users understand the product and its offering very well."
"In regards to the workflows, the fact that we can actually have a full dashboard library of all the existing workflows on this is great. We can see all the workflows and what all the actions do and can work with scripts."
"The DRS feature from VMware is very valuable to us because it balances workloads."
"The storage motion is a good feature. It is a very good tool."
"The solution is stable."
"The hardware abstraction layer, being able to make the VMs portable when moving to a different platform or over a WAN."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most crucial feature of vCenter is its scalability. We can use it to expand our network, so we don't have to report our client devices. The network configuration features are also helpful because we can migrate entire networks."
"We can manage and relocate resources easily."
"They should provide an entire cloud offering, from architecture to network security features."
"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."
"They can add some of those features to make the platform more usable for different backgrounds and developer skills."
"The solution needs to be more simple."
"The tool should improve its security on the XDR part."
"Improvements are needed in UI and multi-tenancy for this solution."
"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."
"For many clients, the main problem with the solution is the price. Cisco is very expensive. If they could somehow make the pricing more competitive, that would be a big draw."
"We encounter challenges related to the renewal of support subscriptions."
"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."
"It is practically difficult at this stage to really comment on the improvisations of V central. But more tech events and PoC cases would help the EA to design better solutions and utilization."
"A feature to review and setup tasks should be added."
"We would like more flexibility in sizing data storage and virtual machines, as the current options aren't very adaptable."
"It is too expensive. One of the main issues is the price."
"The solution needs to integrate with Cloud facilities like AWS and Azure."
"There can be compatibility issues."
