Pros
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The implementation phase for vCenter Orchestrator was easy.""I am impressed with the tool's easiness to work with VMware solutions.""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.""The product's initial setup phase was easy.""vCenter Orchestrator is easy to use.""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 backup and recovery times are very quick."

"We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations.""The solution is good for cloud cost management.""We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features.""The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds.""It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast.""The pricing is rather competitive right now.""This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician.""The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards."

Cons
"I would like to see, from within the Web Console, being able to define the project and custom templates per user; almost like how CloudSpec has approached the solution.""The cost of the solution is high.""I would like to see more automation added in the future.""The custom workflows are very difficult and confusing.""The price of this product is high and could be improved.""The response time of vCenter Orchestrator's support could be improved.""The interface could be improved to bring greater user-friendliness and ease of use.""There are some update-related issues with the product."

"The Perspectives feature could be better.""CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level.""They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size.""The export features regarding CSV files and specifically around identifying savings plans have room for improvement, as well as the drill-down features for reservation utilization.""If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information.""The solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones.""It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office.""I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation."

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."

  • "The licensing fees depend on how big the company is. If you are a larger company then you have a better contract with a better price. The price is different for a small company."
  • "CloudHealth has a subscription-based model."
  • "The pricing is competitive and while other products are good they are considerably more expensive."
  • "I give the cost of the solution an eight out of ten."
  • "There could be flexibility in pricing for the product."
