Google Anthos vs VMware Cloud Foundation comparison

"The Google Anthos feature I find the most valuable is the easy of use. In Google Anthos, you don't need to move along too many screens and so on. The interface is really helpful and understanding of the tool comes easily."

"The product enables flexibility in network structures."

"The stability is good."

"We use VMware Cloud Foundation mainly for the virtualization part, and because it's a suite where everything is combined, we have vSphere and vCenter."

"Overall, I rate VMware Cloud Foundation a nine out of ten."

"VMware Cloud Foundation's most valuable features are password and certificate management. The SDDC manager tool is the front tool we are using to manage the entire VCF stack. In the SDDC manager, we can able to rotate, and update the passwords of all users. Anything in the VMware portfolio, we can manage from a single dashboard and we have various data centers. We have connected everything into one Federation. From one single place, we are managing our entire virtual interactions."

"A valuable feature of VMware Cloud Foundation is its ability to manage everything from a single console, including network, virtualization, and storage management."

"The main features are the separation between the management plane and the workload. You can use NSX to provision between the different areas of the network, like west-east or north-south."

"The fact that it automates a lot of manual processes in a net new environment build is most valuable."

"The initial Google Anthos setup is not easy. Nothing is truly easy in the Google Anthos world."

"The documentation could be easier to read"

"They need to offer more support for Mac."

"VMware Cloud Foundation is complex, and there are always updates regarding security features, accessibility, and the user interface. Making changes isn't simple because there are a lot of tables to update. People in the field may not feel confident about managing it."

"Working on features that could include the capability to migrate workflows from non-VMware environments would be highly beneficial."

"VMware Cloud Foundation can improve the process of upgrading. For example, if you want to upgrade or migrate any component it is very complex."

"We would like the ability to write to both sites at the same time, in a synchronous fashion."

"The interface is good, but there are compatibility issues or issues with the certificate for the VCenter."

"In the early adoption of VMware Cloud Foundation, we have seen minor problems. For example, in our Federation, I see the single pane of glass where we need to manage everything, which is good. However, internally, we have a Kafka database that is distributed by the database used by the SDDC manager. During the distribution and synchronization, there is some issue and we need to stop the process."

"It is quite expensive."

"The price of VMware Cloud Foundation is expensive."

"This solutuion can be expensive for small and medium-sized companies."

"There is an annual license required to use the solution."

"VMware Cloud Foundation is overpriced, but I think we get what we pay for."

"The pricing is moderate. I would rate it six out of ten."

"The licensing is expensive compared with Hyper V and Unitech's platform."

"The pricing can be more competitive."
