We performed a comparison between Cisco Piston Enterprise OS, CloudBolt, and VMware Aria Operations based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Nutanix, IBM and others in Cloud Management."It offers enough support so that you don't need to have the need to get another device."
"Role-based access control and application blueprinting."
"I find the self-service features valuable."
"The solution's biggest advantage is flexibility"
"The initial deployment was super easy."
"Hybrid cloud platform for VM and app deployment and management, with very good stability. It's customizable, easy to set up, and can be deployed within half an hour."
"It has helped us to reduce the amount of VM sprawl, VMs that are not necessarily used. We can then reclaim resources such as memory, CPU, and storage."
"Its technical support team responds quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the ability it has to adjust the efficiency inside the infrastructure."
"It helped troubleshooting issues with storms of software data that cost a lot of IO."
"Scalability is relatively simple. You just spin up a new appliance and you either add it to an existing vROps manager or you can create a new environment. You can forward statistics. If I have multiple data centers, I can spin up remote nodes and send our information back to our primary one."
"They keep improving and updating their apps over time."
"It is easy to use from its deployment architecture to use cases. It is straightforward for customers to use. It's a good product and better than the earlier versions."
"It gives the real-time info that we need to diagnose any problems that we have with our VDI infrastructure."
"The solution is just too expensive, so maybe the pricing could be better."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's not intuitive enough to click anywhere in the solution and make it work."
"The management of SaaS must be improved."
"The scheduling feature of CloudBolt needs improvement because sometimes, it doesn't work."
"Could increase the number of integrations and add more out-of-the-box work flows."
"The area of integrating on-prem and cloud needs improvement."
"I would like to see more features, especially in the way of Flash to HTML5."
"In the past, when we have raised priority one tickets and they have sent us level one engineers. This wasted time because the L1 was only able to perform the troubleshooting steps that we had already completed."
"It needs dashboards that we can present at the executive level. The GUI, overall, could be better."
"From a personal perspective, I would like it made clearer what options are available in the suite that the customer is not using."
"We are looking to optimize all the parts. For example, vCenter can be fully deployed automatically, which is not the case with vROps. We can click some next buttons to integrate vCenter and would like these type of features for vROps, if possible."
"I would like to see them get a holistic view of the organization, not just focusing on the server and the state that it's running on but to widen that out from the end user all the way through. It's a key critical part but actually, it needs to bring outside of that, then to the networking elements and the inter-dependencies that are in hospital solutions."
"One of the things that we've been limited on is that it only monitors one cluster at a time. We're spread out all across the US. It would be nice to monitor multiple clusters from one instance. That would be the main thing we'd like to see."
"I would like to see a full RESTful API for everything and PowerCLI modules that interact with more of the different features. It doesn't have a complete API set and it's not a complete PowerCLI module yet. I'd love to see that developed more, to be able to interact with other applications and automation."
