We performed a comparison between CA Process Automation and vCenter Orchestrator based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Process Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to debug and troubleshoot."
"This tool is used in my organization for automating IT infrastructure related incidents or service requests."
"The product's integration is good, it works well with other programs and solutions."
"The open, flexible architecture has brought in the agile computing environment along with better Dr capabilities. Automation management and operational tasks across VMware and third-party applications, like our HMIS and other business productivity applications, have delivered peace of mind."
"The most valuable feature is affinity rules."
"It's 100% stable, it's always stable. We haven't had any bugs. The solution works very well and we haven't had any problems."
"vCenter Orchestrator's best features are the workflows, integration with third-party applications, and the workflow library."
"We can manage and relocate resources easily."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the workflow creation."
"Because of the central management, the scripting engine and workflow engine are integrated with VMware without any burden to integrate different products."
"OCR capability should be added as a feature."
"Somehow the product group within CA left the product dry from some regular expression functionality."
"Make some of the features more open source that way developers can have more flexibility."
"It needs auto-triggering of workflows based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)."
"I believe a transparent view and better terms of condition between Oracle and vCenter Orchestrator would be helpful."
"As we work towards more stability on the solution, sometimes we'll try something and it breaks and it's easier to restart the service. That's the only drawback. We've experienced this with other applications as well."
"VMware tools would benefit from more automation. When installing our devices and servers, we often need to install the VMware tools manually. This process should be automated during the VM installation process."
"I would like to see better performance."
"It could be integrated with third-party hypervisors."
"The solution needs to integrate with Cloud facilities like AWS and Azure."
"I believe vCenter Orchestrator should be part of VMware vSphere's basic bundle. As a product, vCenter Orchestrator should not be licensed at all because the world has progressed way beyond what it can offer."
"I would like to see, from within the Web Console, being able to define the project and custom templates per user; almost like how CloudSpec has approached the solution."
