    The reports are fantastic and it's easy to use and update
    The technical support is bad, primarily because I don't see anybody using it. I once had to rebuild the whole database when it died. I had to put in a new database and upgrade my system and do everything. Then it broke my database and they could not fix it. Now we work around it and it works fine.

    Automation and insightful diagnostics elevate operations while improvements are welcome
    The new version 8.18 has brought significant improvements. The main purpose of using this tool is having a single console to manage all entities. The cloud integration capabilities, including private, public, and hybrid, are already well-implemented. The ability to manage multiple vCenters across different geographical locations is very effective. The new Skyline health feature and certificate and licensing management are particularly useful improvements. The dashboard's overview tab provides comprehensive information about current vCenter status, resizable amounts, reclamation opportunities, anomalies, diagnostics, licensing, and certificates. However, there is room for improvement in application analysis. The current functionality lacks detailed monitoring at the kernel level, focusing mainly on CPU, memory, and storage matrices. Enhanced application monitoring capabilities, including tracking downtime for specific types of applications such as transactional or e-commerce applications, would be beneficial.

    Quotes from Members

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

    Pros

    "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."
    "I gladly recommend VMware Aria Operations for Applications because it is cost effective and has commendable AI response capabilities."
    "People are very pleased with the implementation."
    "The solution provides single-console management for multiple VMware environments and cloud integrations, whether hybrid, private, or public cloud."
    "It significantly improves application performance management by offering recommendations for resource allocation to avoid wastage or overcommitment."
    "VMware Aria Operations for Applications offers significant features such as real-time statistics, the ability to identify possible issues within the VM environment, and helpful heat maps."
    "The stability of Aria Operations for Applications has improved significantly over the years."
    "Scalability for VMware Aria Operations for Applications is easy to implement and manage."
    "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."
    More VMware Aria Operations for Applications pros
     

    Cons

    "I would like to see improved index shifting."
    "I find that there could be improvements in the support service response time, as the urgency varies unless specified as Priority 2 or 1 cases."
    "I would like to see integration with Kubernetes cluster and APIs so that you can manage the entire stack."
    "They could make it more easy to plug-in data so that a nontechnical person will be able to use it, like accountants or finance people. That way they don't have to ask us."
    "The initial setup should be easier and more seamless."
    "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."
    "I find that there could be improvements in the support service response time, as the urgency varies unless specified as Priority 2 or 1 cases."
    "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 documentation and integration with Kubernetes could be improved."
    More VMware Aria Operations for Applications cons
     

    Pricing and Cost Advice

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