The deployment process took about two months and few people to complete. It involved migrating all components from Microsoft Hyper-V system to VMware Aria Operations. The implementation of the solution was facilitated by CRU.

We implemented the solution through an in-house team. For deployment, we consider doing some certifications, which is the best place to keep some items, whether on-premises or on the cloud, the cost, and compliance. After that, we make a plan and then do the deployment.

The deployment time significantly hinges on the scale of the environment. For smaller environments, such as a few servers, it typically takes just a couple of days. This includes the configuration process and addressing any potential issues. However, managing hundreds of ESX servers, and deploying such a substantial environment can be challenging and time-consuming.

I did the implementation at my previous company. I personally went through the implementation step, then I used VMware and other resources on the Internet to implement the service.

I have worked with this product at two companies. At the first one, I used to implement it, then I moved to another company. In that company, we had vROps implemented and installed. We are using it for monitoring and resource management purposes. In the first company, I implemented it, and in the second company, I have just been a user.

We used a third party team for the deployment.

We talked with VMware to set up a straightforward installation of the vRealize suite: Log Insight and vROps.

We used VMware professional services. Our experience with them was okay. We thought we would implement way further, with VMware onboarding, but it took a year to complete the project.

For deployment, we used a team of four onboard resources and we got in touch with local consultants who are VMware Certified partners for doing the deployment. The initial deployment was done by the certified partner and then a knowledge transfer to the resource team took place. After a month or two, our team was able to be 100 percent hands-on with it and started using it.

The first time we deployed this solution, the local VMware team assisted us.

We implemented this completely from the ground up, all the way back to one of the older versions. We've used it for the last several years, going through and learning each new version of the product. 

We implemented it through a vendor team. Two to three people are required for deployment.

It was implemented in-house, by a team of four, in conjunction with local support.

I did the implementation myself.

We have a three-person team that handles the maintenance of the solution.

The implementation was completed through a vendor.

It was implemented in-house

If the deployment is being integrated with some enterprise tools or third-party vendors, you may need to work with their separate teams.

We did a basic setup with a large European reseller of VMware. They were great, as it was a quick turn on solution for us.

We are experts and we install VMware vRealize Operations (vROps) on a host, and we import an appliance, such as OVA, and we deploy it.

We have a team of four people that does the maintenance and support of the solution.

We used a vendor team.

Normally we have a partner or a VMware reseller that helps us implement the solutions.

In-house implementation.

It was done in-house.

We did the implementation ourselves with an internal team.

I did the deployment. Going through the documentation, I was able to get different options, picking the one that suits my environment.

If you are not that familiar with the deployment and how to do it correctly, then you may need an expert's advice or intervention at some point in time. You should be able to find your way around 75 percent of vROps. Overall, the solution has been great for someone who is technical.

Make sure you get the right advice and documentation for the deployment. So, if a person or customer is unable to deploy on vROps, then they should get the right expert to assist them with the deployment. Because if you have the wrong deployment, then that might put you in a mess and you might not get the value from vROps. If you are going to implement the solution, do it the right way.

At the moment, I am the only person managing vROps.

We used the company, Fleet, for the deployment. They were professional and the solution works perfectly now.

We are an integrator.

We did the install via an in-house team which included myself and a network engineer. That’s all it took to get the project planned out and implemented successfully.

I completed the deployment on my own.

As integrators, we deployed it ourselves.

I used my TAM to help me. He is knowledgeable, absolutely. He's a great guy. He works with us all the time on stuff like that.

I had the offer of a team but I did not accept it at the time. I wasn't sure how much I would use the product.

In-house.

It is easy to deploy the settings. It is not complex at all. You can start all over and organize everything differently.

First, I choose on-premises because I want to feel in first person how difficult or easy the installation or deployment is from other data centers. Also, I combine it with Active Directory as well as VMware Workspace. Even if it is a PoC, I do the installation to production.

I also work with third-parties and providers.

We used a third-party integration partner that is certified by VMware. I felt that they were not well-trained on vROps.

We bought the server from a third-party. 

The first thing that we did was ask VMware what type of hardware we should buy. They helped us by providing insight in which type of server to buy, then they helped us by providing the support to integrate the solution.

We had a third-party on site to help us with the installation.

It is a mix, where we use our own trained staff with the help of local VMware Partners. The partners are well equipped and have high expertise. 

We use a third party reseller, called Triangle Technologies. We have used them for a lot of our hardware as well. They worked hand in hand to bring VMware in.

In-house. They were were helpful.

We installed it with a partner, Epsilon ITs. It was a very simple installation. We did not request an advanced team. 

We have a team that is contracted to work on our project.

I did most of the installation myself but called support when I needed help. 

We deployed it ourselves.

We deployed this solution in-house. 

We deployed ourselves and we also provide service to our customers with this tool.

We implemented it ourselves. 

We use an integrator, who is very good. He has helped us outside the standard hours.

We deployed it for ourselves in our datacenter, but also for our customers.

We did the setup.

We implemented in-house. 

In-house.

Sometimes, I was on the vendor side, and sometimes I installed it in-house.

We used a consultant for the deployment. We used Assist Inc, and they were brilliant.

I believe we had an SMA from VMware.

I implemented it. Initially I did a POC by reading VMware documents and blogs.

I am an integrator for this type of solution.

We installed it ourselves.

I just downloaded it myself and installed it.

I am normally doing this as either my current company Xtravirt or as VMware PSO.

We deployed in-house. We just had to look at the documentation. We tried it in our test environment, found that it was doing what we expected it to do and we deployed it in production.

We integrated in-house. 

We implemented it ourselves.

We were one of the first in our country to implemented these technologies. From time to time, in special cases, we use our expertise. Currently, we are handling 90 percent internally.

In-house.

We have guys who work for VMware in our building (in-house). We only reach out to them for upgrades. If we ever have any issues, we'll go to them, but we usually don't run into vROps issues.

We did the upgrades.

I implemented it on my own.

We are the partner so we implement.

We implemented using an in-house team.
