More CloudBolt Pros →

"The product's initial setup phase was easy.""Technical support is helpful.""The open, flexible architecture has brought in the agile computing environment along with better Dr capabilities. Automation management and operational tasks across VMware and third-party applications, like our HMIS and other business productivity applications, have delivered peace of mind.""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.""If I need to do DR, VMware can enable me to use vMotion, which requires use of vCenter. You cannot do vMotion without vCenter. We do a lot of automation, orchestration, and simplification for that purpose.""The product's integration is good, it works well with other programs and solutions.""I am impressed with the tool's easiness to work with VMware solutions.""vCenter Orchestrator's best features are the workflows, integration with third-party applications, and the workflow library."

Cons
"The solution is not easy to use. It's not intuitive enough to click anywhere in the solution and make it work.""The area of integrating on-prem and cloud needs improvement.""The management of SaaS must be improved.""The scheduling feature of CloudBolt needs improvement because sometimes, it doesn't work.""Could increase the number of integrations and add more out-of-the-box work flows."

More CloudBolt Cons →

"In the next release, to make it easier to write the workflows, I would l like to see more HTML GUIs.""There can be compatibility issues.""The response time of vCenter Orchestrator's support could be improved.""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.""I would like to see better performance.""This solution needs to have more built-in workflows.""The solution needs to integrate with Cloud facilities like AWS and Azure.""The scalability option provided by the solution is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The system is cheaper if a customer has fewer servers since you pay by the node."
  • "The solution is reasonably priced."
  • "I rate the pricing an eight out of ten because the solution is expensive."
  • More CloudBolt Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Our licensing is on a yearly basis. We pay for the license and then we pay the support every year."
  • "This solution is expensive and the licensing is more attractive for Haveri."
  • "The price is reasonable, and one of the reasons that this product was selected."
  • "We provide the VMware solution to our clients, for which they pay a perpetual license."
  • "The concept of hyper-convergence is smart. I don't know if it can be applied with less cost to be more affordable for small or medium-sized companies. The cost is a very important factor for it. We are currently depending on SAN storage. However, the hyper-converged solutions are depending on the storage within the hosts, such as vSAN in the VMware. It is a smart solution."
  • "We pay a yearly fee, based on our entries."
  • "The licensing module is somewhat complex. Calculating the cost is complicated. Many of our clients are unclear about the billing system and the traffic metering."
  • "The licensing cost is manageable because they have different versions available, standard, essential, and advanced."
