There is an ease of managing all processes. The data recovery process is remarkably fast. It’s a stable solution. The product is scalable. It provides high-speed live migration capability."
"The scalability, performance, and licensing model are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Acropolis AOS are ease of management, hyper-convergence platform, and it has robust operations."
"VMware Cloud Foundation makes it easy to set up new environments. You get hosts in a pool, which you can build into a new cluster."
"The mission aspect of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very stable."
"I like that VMware Cloud Foundation reduces both the installation and setup time from a matter of weeks to hours."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The fact that it automates a lot of manual processes in a net new environment build is most valuable."
"The most valuable aspect of VMware Cloud Foundation is you can manage everything from area."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of migrating from on-premises infrastructure when transitioning away from older systems."

"The solution is quite expensive."
"In the early adoption of VMware Cloud Foundation, we have seen minor problems. For example, in our Federation, I see the single pane of glass where we need to manage everything, which is good. However, internally, we have a Kafka database that is distributed by the database used by the SDDC manager. During the distribution and synchronization, there is some issue and we need to stop the process."
"VMware Cloud Foundation could be more flexible in terms of supporting other integration and components."
"From a stability perspective, there may be some issues."
"Cost is a challenge when convincing clients, especially for large deals."
