VMware is working on plenty of products, and the one you want depends on your customers' use cases.

According to the market, drastic changes are coming in AI and ML. Regarding AI and ML, the price is higher, and the support is also very low. VMware can develop similar products with minimum functionality for entry-level products. VMware products are all on the higher end and would be in Enterprise Plus. There are a lot of licensing variations, with vCenter on the Standard version and vSphere on the Enterprise version.

I rate vCenter eight out of ten.

We have used multiple tools. Once we receive requirements, a system image is generated from the most recent data using various tools. If it's a database server, appropriate properties are configured. Therefore, it encompasses all the necessary components for the database product. If the application is web-based, it might involve some Java-related components. For simpler applications, servers or their components are installed accordingly. We leverage multiple tools to automate our tasks. This diversity is beneficial, especially during compliance audits, as sometimes we require audit reports from vendors. The system supports those reports. There are no non-compliance issues.

The solution is expensive, but it's a good and reliable one. I recommend the solution.

Overall, I rate the solution a 9 out of 10.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I would definitely recommend using this solution. 

It's crucial to ensure where the solution needs to be deployed and the number of virtual machines that require supervision. Comparing it with other market solutions is also essential to ensure it's the right fit.

For monitoring purposes, I use VMware Aria Operations and VMware vROps.

I use the product to migrate from physical to virtual servers. I use the product from scratch. I start from zero and ensure that our company's customers get all the configurations they want. Sometimes, I do some operations in my company's customers' environment and in the production part, which is a different operation involving expansion, upgrades, or new reconfigurations. My use of the tool depends on the use case of our company's customers.

I haven't used the product's automation capabilities to improve my company's administrative tasks. There are some other tools in my company that are used for automation. Even for the scripting part, vCenter Configuration Manager was not used. With vCenter Configuration Manager, I had only used the scripting part once for one migration, but it wasn't a high-level script.

Speaking about the product's ability to save resources and time, I can say that in some projects, the use of resources was really high use and was not used correctly. After my company installed the VMware solution at our customers' locations, they saw that there was a big difference between their physical environment and virtual environment.

VMware has changed its strategy with Broadcom related to different products. VMware has now merged everything into one product with the help of VMware Cloud Foundation, which I think is the best idea for the moment, especially considering how it has many tools, interfaces, and different tools to manage VMware. With time, the customers might start to feel a bit confused about how to manage the tools and how to be certified by VMware. The customers may have a lot of questions related to the tool in their minds. I think the strategy of merging everything into VMware Cloud Foundation will be good for VMware since everything can be merged into one interface.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The market share of VMware is huge. It is not even necessary to prove the capabilities attached to the product. The only reason that VMware needs to prove itself in the market is because some of the customers have started to use solutions like Proxmox, Nutanix, and other such products. The challenge for VMware is to prove to the customers that it is the leader in all kinds of solutions it offers.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

If any impact happens, then identification of the errors should be very easy.

Only two persons are required for the deployment: the maker, those deploying, and the takers taking parts. If you want it to deploy one team, one person is needed.

Since our world is moving towards the virtual platform, small organizations must explore the virtual world with its features. Whatever they are creating now on the virtual platform will be very helpful to the next generation. They can easily deploy virtual resources and migrate from virtual environments to the cloud. If a smaller organization wants to deploy without investing in cloud infrastructure, they should start with in-house applications on the virtual platform. Later, when they are ready to transition to the cloud, their virtual platform can be seamlessly converted to cloud technologies, facilitating a smooth migration process within a limited timeframe.

If you don't want to spend too much on renewals or have many servers and encounter build-level issues, You wouldn't want to overspend on human resources, power consumption, and hardware. In such cases, opting for the cloud is a viable solution as it eliminates the need for physical resources like hardware, power consumption, ISP, and server rooms. All you need is a network room.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Speaking about how the tool streamlines our company's integration compliance and patch management processes, I would say that my company uses the manual way to update patches.

My company doesn't use vCenter Configuration Manager automation tasks to increase our team's efficiency. The toll is purely used for virtualization purposes, to run our company's servers, and as a source of appliance for the VM backup.

I wouldn't recommend the solution to others since we live in a time period when everyone is moving from on-premises tools to cloud-based solutions.

As a fully compliant tool, vCenter Configuration Manager has helped with compliance audits or remediation. If there is any patching my company needs to deal with, we always follow VMware's guidelines.

My company has not integrated vCenter Configuration Manager with other VMware solutions.

Nowadays, every organization has been moving to the cloud, which is either Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud. I am not sure about VMware solutions for other people, but in our company's environment, once we migrate everything to the cloud, certain VMware products won't be needed anymore.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

I would recommend vCenter Configuration Manager to other users. While updating, users must check the drivers from the VMware compatibility matrix.

Overall, I rate vCenter Configuration Manager a nine out of ten.

Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

The basic maintenance processes related to vCenter Configuration Manager are taken care of by one of the in-house teams in our company. Getting some of the features of the solution up and running, at times, can become very cumbersome. Though the initial deployment is easy, when it comes to the process to get the solution's functionalities and features working, it can be tricky. In short, you need to have some fine knowledge of the solution to deploy some of its features, but there are a couple of places or blogs where you can get some information.

I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it.

It is a good product that remains stable.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

I rate vCenter Configuration Manager nine out of 10. I recommend it to others. Don't waste time with other solutions. Just use this.

The product provides very good visibility. With vCenter Configuration Manager, you can manage any kind of all these features of VMware vSAN, VMware vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), and VMware vSphere HA along with hyper-converged systems. The product is also helpful in the VMware vSphere live migration area.

Speaking about the product's ability to manage virtual environments, I feel that the migration from a physical to a virtual environment is a bit difficult. Virtual to virtual, live migrations, storage migrations, and the use of the snapshot in VMware vSphere replication are all great features of the tool.

The product can be easily integrated with Windows Hyper-V.

The product's automation capabilities benefit our company's daily operations since it supports Windows PowerShell Commands along with many other commands, including ESXCLI Commands.

The product's patch management area is very simple to use. VMware vCenter Server 6.5, 7.0, and 8.0 are okay for patch management.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. Nowadays, Hyper-V is implemented in most organizations since VMware is considered to be too old.

I consider vCenter Configuration Manager to be one of the best options in the market.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

I rate vCenter Configuration Manager a seven out of ten.

I would use vCenter Configuration Manager for patch management across our company's virtual infrastructure by creating virtual machines for my workloads, VM servers, Linux, and to deal with other such related areas.

A project or scenario where the solution improved the compliance part was related to the fact that it was meant for Oracle DB, and now our company uses it for SAP-based implementations.

The most valuable aspect of the tool for maintaining the system security posture in our company stems from the fact that the virtualization offered by the product is very flexible. For any other products, the virtualization offered by vCenter Configuration Manager is flexible. I think it is a very good solution. With the tool, I haven't faced any issues or had to do any troubleshooting until now.

The automation and configuration management tasks by the solution have impacted our company's team's productivity since automation is a very important issue for our organization. My company uses Dell VxRail, which is a very huge solution for us. My company uses VMware vSphere vMotion and some other features from VMware. Suppose the product is down or my company has to deal with some troubleshooting. In that case, we can transfer all our VMs to other nodes without thinking, especially since it can be done through automation and not by any human intervention.

The scalability feature of the product is very good in supporting our company's growing IT environment since I haven't faced issues with the product, especially since I always get help from technical support, who responds right away to any problems attached to the solution. Once a ticket is opened with the technical support team, you get a response in six or seven minutes. If a tech support person is unable to handle an issue, then they try to find an experienced and professional IT person in-house to help the customer.

I recommend the product to others who plan to use it since it is a good solution.

There are many benefits to the use of the product since my company uses it in several environments.

I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

We do work for government entities. We are not really a reseller. We just say, "This is what you need to build. This is what we advise you to build in." Eventually, whichever government organization we are working for is going to decide what they're going to take according to which country it is. I'm the Solutions Architect.

For what is currently being used in our organization, I would rate it an eight out of ten. We're mostly happy with its capabilities. 

I have used many different platforms during my career but the solution has always stood out. 

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

For the data center, for a VM user or workflow, it's excellent software. If you want to use Nutanix or the SimpliVity it is good as well. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give vCenter Configuration Manager an eight.

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. 

Overall, I rate vCenter Configuration Manager ten out of ten.

I recommend vCenter Configuration Manager to others and rate it a nine out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to others, it has worked very well for me.

I rate vCenter Configuration Manager a ten out of ten.

I rate vCenter a ten out of ten and recommend it to anyone who is looking into implementing it. However, if you have less than 10 servers, you don't need to go for the vCenter, you can just use the Hyper-V. It depends on the company staff. 

Everything is going to the cloud, so I think this version 6.5 will be the last on-premises version. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. 

I would recommend vCenter Configuration Manager to potential customers.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give vCenter Configuration Manager a ten.

In some cases, we require more from the solution than what is offered. We usually map these things into the Configuration Management tool so that they are taken care of or made available faster. I think this should be a part of the program so that those things could be reflected faster.

On a scale from one to 10, I will rate the program between 8.5 to 9.5 because in India some of the medium-sized business enterprises are not having a flexible IT budget for a configuration management tool. They prefer that the system integrator should buy it from his own pocket.

We're just a customer and have no special relationship with vCenter. We use the latest version of the solution.

I would recommend the solution. I'd rate it eight out of ten.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten. There are a lot of licenses, ranging from the standard to the enterprise plus with the operation manager.

I rate vCenter Configuration Manager a ten out of ten.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. It's a fantastic product.

We use the on-premises deployment model.

We're an integration company.

I'd recommend the solution. I'd rate it eight out of ten.

I rate vCenter Configuration Manager a ten out of ten.

We're VMware partners.

I'd recommend the solution. It's very good. A company wouldn't have any trouble implementing it. It doesn't disappoint, and I don't see an area where it is lacking.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I do not recall the exact version number we are using.

I would rate the solution at a perfect ten out of ten. I've been very happy with its capabilities.

I would recommend the solution to others. It's quite good.

The product is easy to integrate with third-party tools. We have deployed the solution in different locations, streamlining server provisioning and management. It helps us solve hardware-level issues in terms of critical logs.

I rate it a ten out of ten.

I would rate vCenter Configuration Manager a nine out of 10.

You should definitely go for this solution. Without this type of tooling, you're not aware of how your environment is functioning. You don't know if you are over-committed, or if you need to downsize. You get more inside information, and that's always useful.

It's the best definition for our virtual environments, especially if you're using a VMware product.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate vCenter Configuration Manager a nine out of ten.

We're a customer. We don't have a special relationship with the company.

I would recommend System Center. We are going through a technological era where everything is done using technology, and security measures are important. With this solution, security is already in place.

With this solution, a lot of the items are automated, including a lot of administrative work. You can minimize so many things, including security vulnerabilities, simply by using the solution. It's great.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. They lose a few marks due to their general complexity, which takes a lot of time. Users need to take into consideration bandwidth and network usage when they set things up. While the solution does try to minimize resources, it takes a lot of time to get things where you need them to be. It's not straightforward. You'll need to go through many processes before you get there.

I would recommend people use this solution. It can make your life a lot easier and it has a lot of features which could help a system administrator prevent problems and foresee potential issues.

I would rate this solution quite highly but it loses a couple of points because of the complexity so I'll give it a seven out of 10. 

I think before using this kind of software, most companies should train their administrators to ensure that the deployment is perfect. Also, maintenance would be easier if you train your engineers before using this kind of software.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate vCenter Configuration Manager a six. This is because compared to the other solutions such as Microsoft's StoreSafe or Studio Team System solutions or Ubuntu it is not as good. 

This software is specific for VMware products whereas the other software is more flexible.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I rate the stability of vCenter Configuration Manager an eight out of ten.

On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate vCenter Configuration Manager as maybe an eight to nine-out-of-ten. To make it even better and to score a ten-of-ten, the ease-of-use and the flexibility of configuration could be improved. If it was easier to use and easier to implement and to set up, it will be closer to a ten.  

As a company, we are hosting many solutions. We are working on expanding our portfolio for both internal and external users.

We have private cloud solutions, a classic infrastructure as service, and multi-tenant. We also have public cloud solutions for our external customers.

My experience working with this solution has been good and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution seven out of ten.

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate vCenter Configuration Manager a nine out of ten.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate vCenter Configuration Manager an eight. I would recommend it.

On a scale of 1 - 10, I would rate it an 8. I would recommend vCenter Configuration Manager to other users.
