CA eHealth [EOL] vs VMware Aria Operations for Applications comparison

"Stability is very good."

"I'm particularly impressed with the stability, which is like a rock, and the fact that it has so much data on such a stable platform."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the fact that it sends me canned reports. It's easy to use and easy to update."

"My advice to others would be that, if they'd manage to sort out the indexing problem, it's a wonderful product to use."

"This enables us to run monthly capacity planning reports to have an overall view of the status of our network."

"Scalability for VMware Aria Operations for Applications is easy to implement and manage."

"The solution is great for virtualization and preparing the infrastructure in Tanzu to test products. It's very fast and has good visibility."

"It has a familiar interface, which makes it easy to get started."

"We haven't had any issues with stability."

"Wavefront gives us the complexity we need, instead of spending time coming up with a nice dashboard from some other means, or just creating and coding our own app."

"For us, the ease of deployment in combination with TMZ was the most important part because we don't have to manually deploy a complex monitoring solution. We can more or less do that with the click of a button, and we are not dependent on the developers to provide us with all the necessary features and functions to make that work. We can just deploy it on a workload cluster and monitor at least a good part of the workload. If we want to go into detail, we clearly need to make changes, but for a good part of application monitoring, it gives us good insights."

"I find VMware Aria Operations for Applications to be very stable, and I would rate it a ten out of ten."

"VMware comes with a support team, and if you have trouble, you can easily create a ticket, and VMware will help you. Therefore, the best aspect is the support."

"It has limited reporting with only a few canned out-of-the-box reports."

"I would mainly like to see an overall view of the application and the infrastructure."

"Overall performance of the application is slow."

"I would like to see improved index shifting."

"The technical support is bad, primarily because I don't see anybody using it."

"The implementation is a long process that should be improved."

"The solution could be expensive, which might be a limiting factor."

"VMware technical support has declined since the Broadcom acquisition. Previously, they were more focused on issue resolution, but now they prioritize licensing verification before providing support."

"The main problem I have is that the license cost is very high."

"It could use a URL document server. Everything in the market is moving towards automation and everybody's looking for the single click operations as well relational data locality."

"I would like to see integration with Kubernetes cluster and APIs so that you can manage the entire stack."

"They just need more capability. A few areas still need more enhancements in the technology capability space."

"In the new version, I would love to see more prediction capabilities. It would be great if one could see the alerts get a little more enriched with information and become more human-friendly instead of the technical stuff that they put in there. I think those would be really awesome outcomes to get."

"It is an expensive program."

"The licensing costs are very high, particularly when you consider that we have to purchase a level 1 license for every integration, such as the load balancer, HAProxy, and the MSSP. And if you want to use vSAN, that's another license. Then, of course, Tanzu Observability has its own separate license."

"Different locations require different setups. In your terms, around 300 to around 400K USD."

"I would rate the pricing as three out of five."

"I don't have the details. In our case, there is a mixture in place. We have production usage, and we are also doing training for VMware. So, we also have a training instance. It is worth the money you would spend on it. That's because if you were to build all of this yourself by using some of the open source tools, then you would need a lot of time."
