Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Appian and others in Process Automation."The most valuable feature for us is the performance stability of vCenter Orchestrator, especially in complex situations, making it excellent for managing virtual machines."
"vCenter Orchestrator is easy to use."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its good automation features."
"vCenter Orchestrator is very reliable and stable."
"User-friendly and easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is how easy it makes it to manage the VM."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. From the web interface, you can literally just go straight into actually installing vROps with very little previous knowledge required to get it up and running."
"From an IT department perspective, it does help in reducing the time to troubleshoot issues and in providing cost savings through higher capacity utilization."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to get a view of our entire environment in a single pane of glass. We're a very large company, so going from one interface to another to troubleshoot an issue, or even just to get capacity information, is time-consuming and not efficient. Being able to go to one place and get that information is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to check the right-sizing of a machine because that way I can assign the real resources that are needed."
"vRealize looks at your data over time, at the performance of the machine over time. It can make assessments of the machine's health, based on that, for example, if there are sudden changes... we actually found a machine that had been compromised because it started doing a lot more work after hours and at weird hours."
"The performance for monitoring the VM is very good. Additionally, the solution is flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the insight into how our infrastructure is actually working and the kind of performance that when users either say there is an issue, it gives some insight into finding out what's going wrong with it. I think its cause we have it mainly based on our production units."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to see "before" and "after". It will show you the current state, and then show you what it looks like after it does the optimization."
"I liked the previous client better than the current web client of vCenter Orchestrator, though my colleagues like the client now. The technical support for vCenter Orchestrator needs improvement."
"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."
"There are no good manuals or guidelines on integrations. Hence, you need to be asking someone."
"It is too expensive. One of the main issues is the price."
"There can be compatibility issues."
"The cost of the solution is high."
"The product’s cost needs improvement."
"It could be integrated with third-party hypervisors."
"Our hands are tied by using this product. It is not as flexible as it could be."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the integration with Active Directory. Sometimes I need to log in to the application using my Active Directory account, instead of using the regular admin for vRealize Operations. If I want to deploy this tool to more users, I need that."
"We would like the default views on the reports for this solution to be improved; at present we have to customize the view before use."
"I would like to see multi-cloud support. It would be nice to see analytics not only on-prem but on VMWare Cloud on AWS. I think that's in the roadmap."
"Technical support is good, once you pass the first level."
"The what-if analysis section is not very advanced and there is a lot of room for improvement."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The product's support services need improvement."
