Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Nutanix, IBM and others in Cloud Management."The Densify Control Console, and Environment Status."
"The tool will come back and tell us that we can operate with 1,000 minutes as an example, save 90% on the contractual rate and not run into any issues."
"I would say that the initial thing is that it provides us with a technological basis to expand capacity management beyond Excel."
"One would be the automatic rebalancing of the environment. That was one feature which helped. With that, we could improve our efficiency of our VMware infrastructure."
"The ability to increase server density inside of my environment, which has helped me drive reduction in costs."
"The Control Console is an incredible way to give a quick view of current capacity utilization allowing technical people to drill down quickly and allowing business/management people to get a quick overview of the environment."
"Densify's ability to aggregate multiple on-premise vCenters and multiple cloud accounts, gives it a level of visibility not found in many places."
"The solution's tech support is excellent."
"It is easy to maintain our data machines and take snapshots with the solution."
"The scalability has been good."
"VMware vSphere allows you to run multiple virtual machines."
"We are able to create virtual machines and move them from one host to another, controlling the resources."
"The virtualization, the remote management user interface, and the web console are most valuable."
"I find that the Virtual Center Management, iSCSI support, and VMotion hot migration are very beneficial."
"Tech support is very knowledgeable."
"I don't see any challenges in using this product."
"A closer integration to the service management processes."
"It seems that the mechanism for integration is, it goes so far but I think there could be some standard integration to normal remedy service now etc. I think that should be out of the box."
"Some parts of the interface are rather complex and require a bit of time to navigate, but this has never stopped us as a Densify advisor is readily available to help with our "how to" queries."
"Normalization of CPU utilization is required. At present, the data is available based on entitlement level."
"The solution's stability is the primary concern for me."
"Unfortunately the tools and mechanisms which really came to maturity in the cloud, and were not mainstream on-premise, are still not implemented."
"Initially we talked about some custom reporting, wherein our customer expected certain reports on a few areas, like how the storage is allocated, how the network performance is doing, and how the network utilization is happening for a virtual machine."
"In terms of integration, the tool has great data. However, it's not always meaningful because the true business attributes of how most Fortune 500 companies operate are not maintaining in one tool, they're in a school of many tools."
"They need to stop pushing code out so fast."
"The biggest pain point is probably the firmware management of the underlying hardware. It could be a lot better."
"They must work on the price, as well as the technical support."
"Not having to buy something from a third-party to scan the actual hardware components, like the hard drives and the port containers and fan speeds; not having to bolt something on and go through another vendor, would be helpful."
"The solution should be more secure."
"Both the price and the licensing fee are expensive, especially for our clients with a smaller workload."
"I’d like to see a better web console or rather, transform the web console in a real single pane of glass for the whole infrastructure instead of having to go for vRealize Ops Manager."
"It needs to integrate better between multiple modules."
