We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The technical support is great.""The auto-discovery feature has helped us a lot.""In my opinion, it is the MDM; patch management and deployment are the valuable features."

"It provides us with improved maintenance cycles.""All of the features are very suitable for us. It is also a stable solution.""We have installed a physical server for failover. We need to configure cluster on everything. But with VMware, we do not need to cluster. We get automatically seven physical nodes failover. If one fails we have no issues."

Cons
"The engineering area needs improvement.""The asset management tool is costly.""The assets that can be discovered are pretty easy to manage, but there should be a better way to manage non-discoverable assets. Our development team works on bots and tests particular hardware. They have got different varieties of hardware. They want a feature for managing these assets within a warehouse kind of environment. For example, our IT has received 100 items, and they have assigned these items as a bulk unit to a project manager. The project manager further wants to distribute these items within his or her team. Instead of maintaining a separate Excel sheet, the project manager should be able to reallocate these items from within the tool so that we have hierarchical entities for the same unit."

"Its automation feature needs improvement. They can include the vRealize Automation feature in this solution.""It needs to improve user roles and access rights.""Not a ten because the price is high."
