Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration
Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.
David Villota - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides automatic monitoring capabilities that save time for users
In my company's IT environment, we use the tool to deploy production environments for products, including live manufacturing systems. The product improves my company's IT automation processes since we can use fewer resources currently. In my company, we need to spend less time considering that vCenter Orchestrator monitors everything. In general, we don't have to be present in our company to do active monitoring. Automatic monitoring is available for everything with vCenter Orchestrator, so we have proactive alerts in our company. The most valuable feature of the product in streamlining our company's workflow stems from the fact that we need to spend fewer resources and less time in general. Our company can spend time on more effective tasks like working with the plans to improve processes and so on, instead of taking care of the systems. The benefits of the product's integration capabilities were useful for HPE. My company has HPE infrastructure, and we are keen to integrate everything into the host, VMware ESXi. It is really important to have an easy integration method that allows for everything to be installed easily in a matter of minutes. I was not involved in the product's setup process. My colleague took care of the product's setup process. From what I know, I can say that the product's setup phase was straightforward. Some custom setups were to be done manually in the tool, but everything was well documented. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. One of the benefits of the product is that it is a low-cost and stable solution that offers a lot of resources. I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the integration part, and I also like how they use the database, such as the data when they implement all the data side, and how you can easily integrate it with their widgets."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"Great mapping feature that's easy to use."
"Bizagi is simple. It's simple to learn."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"Very user friendly and a professional solution."
"The amount of control that this solution provides is great."
"The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand."
"The most valuable feature for us is the performance stability of vCenter Orchestrator, especially in complex situations, making it excellent for managing virtual machines."
"The tool is very beneficial for automating workflow."
"The platform integration is straightforward, especially with recent updates, making connecting with various systems and streamlining workflows easier."
"The solution was easy to install."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is availability."
"The most valuable features are the graphical UI for designing the workflows and the interfaces that come out of the box."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The storage motion is a good feature. It is a very good tool."
 

Cons

"Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better. To map all your processes in any way and call your data, you need to download their on-premise setup or their desktop setup. Cloud support for process mapping is limited, and they should work on that."
"I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect."
"Agriculture, Industry."
"It needs some better notation functionality."
"Bizagi could be improved by more automation and machine learning. Now that I'm learning more about data analyzers, I'm realizing that many people have problems with data and how to understand them."
"Governance is lacking, as with many easy-to-use tools. The scalability could be improved as well."
"The tool is expensive and it should improve its pricing."
"When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling."
"vCenter Orchestrator's debugging capacity could be improved."
"The snapshot technology of VMware is not good compared to other solutions in the market, like Nutanix."
"Its technical support team takes a long time to escalate the issues."
"Mainly VMware integrates with other products, but there is no easy way to link with other products from a different vendor. We can integrate with other products from the same vendors fairly well, but if they could make it so integration is easier with other vendors, that would really help."
"Enhancing the platform's setup process intuitiveness and offering more flexible pricing options could further improve its accessibility across different company sizes."
"It is too expensive. One of the main issues is the price."
"The GUI should be enhanced in the future."
"The solution’s pricing and integration could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."
"Pricing is good value for money."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"I think that its price is reasonable."
"This is a free solution."
"My company needs to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"We renew the solution's license every one or two years."
"The licensing module is somewhat complex. Calculating the cost is complicated. Many of our clients are unclear about the billing system and the traffic metering."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"We provide the VMware solution to our clients, for which they pay a perpetual license."
"We pay a yearly fee, based on our entries."
"vCenter Orchestrator is a very expensive solution."
"The product is expensive."
