"The customer likes it for the graphs, the dynamics and the reporting functionality it offers."
"It does a little bit better than some of the other products health-wise and updates-wise. It is really clear that a firewall is getting the signature updates in this timeframe. In some of the other products, usually, you have to go a couple of screens in to see that, but not so much in this product."
"The documentation has been satisfactory."
"We can run it on self-hosted systems, and we are happy with the stability of vCloud Director."
"This is the go-to tool for anyone looking for standard out-of-the-box capabilities in a fully multitenant public cloud software that they can leverage to offer services to their customers."
"The most valuable features are the multi-tenancy and multi-site configuration."
"What I found most valuable in vCloud Director is the multi-tenancy."
"The most valuable features of the vCloud Director are global management, added services, and automation."
"The solution is reliable and performs well."
"The most valuable feature of vCloud Director is the scaling architecture that they have built."
"vCloud Director is a stable solution."
"Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security."
"If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support."
"It's useful for us but if it had more educational reporting, it would good. It's not necessarily lacking but it's an area that could get better."
"I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down. In particular, I find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer just because of those functional breakups in the logs."
"vCloud Director should improve by having support with other cloud providers, such as Microsoft Azure and Google cloud."
"We use vCloud Director along with Terraform, and it's difficult to make them work together. It takes a long time to deploy virtual machines with Terraform in vCloud Director. For example, it can take about one or two hours to create 10 machines. It takes up a lot of our DevOps' and engineers' time in comparison to that with other solutions. This is an area that they should work on and improve."
"This solution could improve by adding root cause analysis."
"The solution should integrate with other cloud systems such as Azure ARC and OpenStack."
"Database services need to go beyond what they are currently doing."
"Cloud Director has room for improvement in many areas. One critical thing that comes to mind is the hyperscalers. They could be more seamlessly integrated into the hybrid cloud."
"The integration between components could be improved."
"There are new updates every quarter, so we need to purchase new support deployment services and some new products."
