vCenter Orchestrator Reviews

My usual use cases for vCenter Orchestrator involve managing all the ESXi hosts from the US, as we have almost 1200 to 1500 ESXi hosts.

The most valuable features of vCenter Orchestrator are its user-friendly operation and capabilities. We have been using it for the past 15 years and it has been excellent. All the options we need for our environment are available, especially for DBs and DB servers.

The positive impact I have seen from using vCenter Orchestrator includes benefits such as cluster and versioning, frequent updates, and updates on the Dell side. It is very flexible.

I use vCenter Orchestrator for automation purposes, specifically to run automation workbooks.

The most valuable features are the graphical UI for designing the workflows and the interfaces that come out of the box. Additionally, it is included in the VMware Vitalization Stack, which means there are no additional costs associated with it.

I use the solution in my company as it is very useful in virtualizing every physical environment that our company has. In our company, we enhanced the resources, and with less costs, we could have a single point of governance. The tool was really helpful for our company's environment.

There are some update-related issues with the product. The tool's updates are released on time, so there was continuous improvement from vCenter's end. The product also has an extended community and forums with questions and answers.

Our solution is built in VMware. All VMs are in the Orchestrator because we have multiple sites, and we connect with vCenter to Orchestrator.

With the Orchestrator, I can manage all my vCenters from one console. This allows for centralized management and streamlines operations.

I use VMware for critical services, running virtual PCs and some sandbox services. I have some sandbox environments running on Linux for testing and deploying. 

Additionally, I have NAS environments, which are the most productive in the virtual environment. I want to replace the hardware and consider another alternative rather than VMware. I work with a medium-sized insurance company.

The main use we had for vCenter Orchestrator was to perform tasks of updates on different machines. It facilitated the administration and management of the resources we had. 

Snapshots and similar features were managed well. However, I am planning to consider another alternative to VMware to have a feature backup with a low cost and low profile, avoiding extensive licensing.

I use vCenter Orchestrator in my company, as it is one of the prime components for virtualization management, and it's pretty much used for most of our customers' landscape. Whoever is using VMware is bound to use the vCenter for sure.

The tool is quite simple on the management side and offers many features, like vMotion, that help our company's customers manage their VMs all across their landscape, including areas like DR and on-premises situations. Regarding vCenter Orchestrator, it can be quite a handy tool, and I think it's the core of the whole stack.

I use the solution in my company for the virtualization of all the virtual machines in our environment.

The solution's most valuable feature is its good automation features.

We use the product as a main server for deploying mid-range applications, including critical national-wide residence services, onto a hyper-converged infrastructure. Our banking sector client has a system, typically comprising three or four servers in a block, where virtualization and storage pooling are utilized for recovery purposes.

The most valuable feature of vCenter is its capability to manage virtual machines and storage. Moreover, integrating storage management on top of vCenter enhances its utility. We can manage and relocate resources easily. Additionally, it provides a valuable fault-storage data center feature.
