Room For Improvement

CloudCheckr struggles with integration, usability, and customization, affecting performance, security, and user experience across platforms.
vCenter Orchestrator requires affordability, interface improvements, better integration, automation features, simpler workflows, and accessible support and resources.
Financial management is not a technically savvy environment; they are an accounting department, so they need that footprint and that ease of transition to build out their dashboards effectively without having to run into highly technical evolutionary actions that we see when we work with CloudCheckr.
DSRE Director Of Dev Ops/Operations (Management Executive) at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
More customizable reports and configurations would be an improvement.
Dev Ops Engineer at a construction company with 11-50 employees
We also noticed performance issues with very large data sets, and from an integration standpoint, more integration with third-party tools would be beneficial to the platform.

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers view CloudCheckr pricing as competitive, variable with usage, providing good value, and often yielding savings.
Enterprise users have mixed opinions on vCenter Orchestrator pricing, with some finding it expensive due to complex licensing.
Overall, the pricing was quite convenient and represented good value for money.
Dev Ops Engineer at a construction company with 11-50 employees
Pricing is feature-tiered under the MSP licensing, and I would say the pricing was quite competitive and fair.
Sr PreSales Cloud Architect at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
I won't pretend it's cheap, but we've saved multiples of what we pay for it, so the conversation with finance is straightforward.

Valuable Features

CloudCheckr enhances efficiency with cost savings, multi-cloud integration, actionable insights, security checks, and scalable support.
vCenter Orchestrator offers seamless automation, easy integration, scalability, user-friendly interface, and cost-effective virtual machine management.
The cost visibility and reporting are really valuable, and the dashboard is informative and enables good decision-making.
Dev Ops Engineer at a construction company with 11-50 employees
What makes CloudCheckr easy for me to use is its intuitive interface.
Director, Trust Operations Analytics at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
CloudCheckr has optimization and identification of inefficiencies. It tells you when a virtual machine is oversized or undersized, it scans whether you have any orphaned resources, if there is any hard disk not assigned to any machine, and if there is any unassigned public IP.

Sr PreSales Cloud Architect at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
Centralized cloud costs have boosted savings while reporting and user experience still need work
The best features CloudCheckr offers include out-of-the-box security and compliance check features that provide over 35 different types of compliance checks at no cost, best practice checks, and alerts. Another valuable feature is the multi-cloud overview, providing unified reporting across AWS and Azure while allowing us to create different types of dashboards based on who logs into the platform. Additionally, from an MSP standpoint, there is good ease of deployment, especially the billing and chargeback functionality for a reseller or managed services provider. CloudCheckr has positively impacted my organization by helping us manage multiple customers and tens of thousands of resources while retaining performance and visibility due to its multi-cloud support. We do not have to worry about jumping from one platform to another, and the better MSP support is beneficial from a billing and chargeback automation standpoint. The integration in compliance helps identify missing areas within our customer environments and improves them. On average, it has helped us provide approximately 15 to 20% savings through right-sizing or idle resource elimination. These are some of the immediate cost savings our customers have experienced after implementing recommendations from the tool.

Boosts operational efficiency with flexible workflows and reliable cluster management
We currently use vCenter Orchestrator's pre-built workflow templates for our IT processes. The templates are flexible, allowing us to create and convert processes simply and manage patches. Regarding integration capabilities, we do not integrate any third-party tools. We exclusively use VMware products. The integration within the VMware infrastructure is limited to Single Sign-On (SSO). I have not created any workflows in vCenter Orchestrator as workflows are only used for change management. I have not encountered any drag and drop interface. The version control and logging features of vCenter Orchestrator have significantly improved the reliability of our automated processes, particularly during upgrades or patching to the cluster-wise. Previously, it would be done on a one-to-one cluster or one-to-one host basis, but now we only need to monitor it for upgrading or patching the entire cluster. I cannot comment on the pricing and licensing of vCenter Orchestrator as these aspects are managed by our onsite counterpart. Overall, I rate vCenter Orchestrator 8 out of 10. The rating reflects occasional delays in support response times and portal stability issues.
