"The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved.""It would be a good idea for VMware to be compatible with the most popular orchestration tools in the market.""The solution's private cloud is much too expensive.""It's not always easy to find the information you need. You must have a lot of technical experience to find the right location for what you're implementing within the program.""If you haven't established a vSphere cluster and you only have a single server to integrate, you can't deploy any service.""Better integration with other VMware toolsets would be beneficial.""The product needs some investment in configuration.
