Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Densify's ability to aggregate multiple on-premise vCenters and multiple cloud accounts, gives it a level of visibility not found in many places.""I would say that the initial thing is that it provides us with a technological basis to expand capacity management beyond Excel.""The tool will come back and tell us that we can operate with 1,000 minutes as an example, save 90% on the contractual rate and not run into any issues.""The ability to increase server density inside of my environment, which has helped me drive reduction in costs.""The Densify Control Console, and Environment Status.""One would be the automatic rebalancing of the environment. That was one feature which helped. With that, we could improve our efficiency of our VMware infrastructure.""The solution's tech support is excellent.""The Control Console provides a very easy to read dashboard of "too little/just right/too much" resources both for current data and on a historical or predictive basis."

More Densify Pros →

"The most valuable feature for me was cost optimization.""The multi-cloud integrations and the DevOps and operational integrations are the most valuable. Morpheus platform is a centralized set to manage different clouds and your on-premise platforms. It does a very good job of what it is designed to do. It is very good in terms of features. It is extremely stable and easy to install. It is also very scalable. Their support is also extremely good.""The user interface of the application is exceptional.""Morpheus is an intuitive solution that is very easy to use.""Morpheus provides a very easy and one-click solution to scaling up and down.""Provides a good automation platform.""The most valuable feature of Morpheus is its strong integration with vSphere Cloud.""The most beneficial features for us were the API integrations with various cloud vendors like Nutanix, VMware, AWS, Azure, and GCP. It saved us the effort of doing that work ourselves."

Cons
"In terms of integration, the tool has great data. However, it's not always meaningful because the true business attributes of how most Fortune 500 companies operate are not maintaining in one tool, they're in a school of many tools.""Initially we talked about some custom reporting, wherein our customer expected certain reports on a few areas, like how the storage is allocated, how the network performance is doing, and how the network utilization is happening for a virtual machine.""A closer integration to the service management processes.""Some parts of the interface are rather complex and require a bit of time to navigate, but this has never stopped us as a Densify advisor is readily available to help with our "how to" queries.""Normalization of CPU utilization is required. At present, the data is available based on entitlement level.""It seems that the mechanism for integration is, it goes so far but I think there could be some standard integration to normal remedy service now etc. I think that should be out of the box.""The solution's stability is the primary concern for me.""Unfortunately the tools and mechanisms which really came to maturity in the cloud, and were not mainstream on-premise, are still not implemented."

More Densify Cons →

"The service is limited and somewhat lacking.""The tool could support virtual network functions better. It is really good at doing enterprise-type of things, but one of the things on which we're working with them is loading very complex virtual machines with it, such as Juniper SRX routers. It needs to support more complex virtualized resources a little bit better. Aside from that, it is a terrific tool. We really like it.""We had to put in much effort ourselves since Morpheus's support wasn't always available to help us.""We've been facing some challenges with Morpheus due to its design for public cloud usage.""I faced a few problems while deploying.""The product has become overly complex. The biggest problem is that we find a bug, they fix the bug, but then another one pops up. We can never really deliver on the vision we had using Morpheus.""There is room for enhancement in integrating Morpheus with other solutions.""The solution's pricing and customization need to improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Setup cost is negligible, as it scales fairly well."
  • "Cost is always involved, but then I feel that this solution is better than other products that we have."
  • "Densify has licensing setup so you can collect data without licensing. It gives you the ability to collect on everything, then choose later what you would like to license."
  • "There was some sticker shock, as this is not just another software product to spit out graphs."
  • More Densify Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing is on an annual basis, and it is upfront for the year. There is no extra cost unless you want additional support or specific deployment packs."
  • "The license is based on the number of virtual machines that Morpheus is managing. So, it is a pay-as-you-grow model."
  • "Initially, the license may seem like a good deal, but as we grow, it becomes costly."
  • "The solution is cheaper if you have less number of servers, but it becomes very expensive for a large number of servers."
  • "Morpheus doesn't directly support cost optimization, but its API integration can facilitate resource optimization. It doesn't dynamically optimize resources like an aeronautic system would; it operates step by step."
