"The most valuable feature is the live, block-to-block replication."
"Live Migration's best feature is that it's free."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The CloudEndure feature is most valuable because it is user friendly and very simple."
"We can run it on self-hosted systems, and we are happy with the stability of vCloud Director."
"The most valuable feature of vCloud Director for me is its user-friendly UI, which is much easier compared to other platforms."
"We use the infrastructure as a service cloud, that is, we use the features as infrastructure for this. We are not using any platform services."
"The tool is very stable."
"The compatibility with vSAN and NSX is the greatest feature of vCloud. It also has integration with vROps, which is quite nice."
"What I found most valuable in vCloud Director is the multi-tenancy."
"The stability of the product is better than just 'good.'"
"The most valuable feature of vCloud Director is the scaling architecture that they have built."
"We would like to have a disaster recovery feature included in this solution."
"I do not see any improvements required for the CloudEndure."
"I think it is important to have more logs, and more details would be great because we have just logged on the client's side, but there weren't many details on the cloud."
"Live Migration has some issues with target setups."
"One drawback to using CloudEndure is that the default is to give one small, lightweight server, which is created in the cloud."
"vCloud Director could use the vCenter database to store information. This way, we don't end up in a situation where we have things going out of sync."
"If you have a deployed environment and lose it, you can't easily deploy it back with vCloud Director. Because of this reason, we don't have the data protection, disaster recovery, and container features."
"Lacking additional services reduces the level of cloud integration companies just love with Amazon and Azure."
"Lacks integration with the hyperscalers."
"It would be beneficial to have enhanced integration capabilities with third-party solutions within vCloud Director, especially in networking and data security."
"It would be nice to see some new features in respect of the GUI."
"Technical support is something that we've had problems with in the past. Across all the VMware solutions we have not always had the best response from support. To be fair a lot of the issues that came up for us have been quite niche but it seems that in terms of release cycles they introduced a lot of bugs and it's a lot of stuff that support generally has to work quite hard on. There have been cases when we've logged critical priority issues and not had responses in time. I think support is something that can be worked on."
"Cloud Director has room for improvement in many areas. One critical thing that comes to mind is the hyperscalers. They could be more seamlessly integrated into the hybrid cloud."
