Gives an overview of the environment’s performance, has a good user interface, and saves costs
Pros and Cons
  • "I like the interface."
  • "The tool is expensive."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution to troubleshoot performance issues. It has a lot of dashboards. They give us an overview of the performance of the environment. We have several customers. We use the dashboards to see the performance of every customer’s environment. We can deep dive into the environment to see the issues.

What is most valuable?

I like the interface. I like the way we can build the dashboards. We integrate the solution with other products from VMware. We also have some Hyper-V hosts integrated into the tool. It does not use a lot of power because there is less hardware. It saves a lot of costs. We save almost 30% of our costs.

What needs improvement?

The tool is expensive.

I have been using the solution for two years.

The initial setup took weeks.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The tool is expensive. However, we get a lot of functionality for the price. The solution is worth the money. There are no additional costs associated with the product.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We also use Microsoft Hyper-V for some customers. Microsoft’s support is not as good as VMware’s. Technically, VMware is much better. VMware’s user interface is easy. It is easy to move servers around the environment.

I recommend the product to our customers. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.
