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

More RightScale Cloud Management Platform Cons →

"I believe a transparent view and better terms of condition between Oracle and vCenter Orchestrator would be helpful.""The scalability option provided by the solution is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""There are some update-related issues with the product.""A feature to review and setup tasks should be added.""I would like to see better performance.""The cost of the solution is high.""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.""Its technical support team takes a long time to escalate the issues."

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."
