Pros

"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the workflow creation.""It is very stable. I have been using vCenter Orchestrator from version three now to six plus.""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.""The most valuable feature is that it's simple and very ergonomic to use the product compared to other virtualizing product. Out of Microsoft, Red Hat, and IBM, we found VMware to be the best one.""The most valuable feature is that this solution is complete, and you don't need any add-ons.""It has the best workflow feature.""vCenter Orchestrator is very reliable and stable."

Cons
"Technical support is an area that can be improved.""There is a problem with integration due to invalid private node security certificates."

More RightScale Cloud Management Platform Cons →

"I would like to have an interface that can manage both on-premises and cloud solutions from a single console, where we can easily manage the resources that are being used or at least applications. Whereby clicking here and there from on-premises to cloud, or cloud to on-premises, depending on the requirements. If that can be accomplished, it will be extremely beneficial.""I believe a transparent view and better terms of condition between Oracle and vCenter Orchestrator would be helpful.""VMware tools would benefit from more automation. When installing our devices and servers, we often need to install the VMware tools manually. This process should be automated during the VM installation process.""The solution's price could be cheaper.""Mainly VMware integrates with other products, but there is no easy way to link with other products from a different vendor. We can integrate with other products from the same vendors fairly well, but if they could make it so integration is easier with other vendors, that would really help.""The GUI should be enhanced in the future.""The solution needs to integrate with Cloud facilities like AWS and Azure.""It could be integrated with third-party hypervisors."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price is higher than an open-source product, or CloudForms, or IBM Cloud Pak, but it is still not very high."
  • More RightScale Cloud Management Platform 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."
