I found the ease of use with Operations Manager Dashboard and providing complete visibility of your infrastructure most valuable.

This is our lifeblood, our ability to be pro-active instead of retroactive, and without it, it hurts our bottom line. It replaced VCOPS, and the scalability increased so it needs less resources. We can now run two instances because it has clusterability which VCOPS doesn’t have.

I have been using Operations Manager for the last few months since reviewing my licence structure and procuring the Enterprise Plus, management bundle. Having a number of distributed vSphere environments spread across the UK and Europe has presented a number of challenges in terms of centralised alerting and reporting. With my collections all configured I am now able to receive invaluable information quickly - reducing the labour that was previously causing issues. Key benefits:-

* Ability to identify resource usage and hot spots

* Understand where I can reclaim resources

* Trend and forecast my virtual landscape by adding projects
