Infrastructure has been optimized and pricing for CI/CD workloads is now forecast with confidence

Senior System Network Analyst at Net spa
Have faced limitations due to high costs but have maintained reliability over time
The primary issue is the pricing, which is very expensive for my company's budget. We cannot afford to pay such a large fee. We are not Microsoft or BMW; we are a small company. As a small company, I have no power to negotiate directly with VMware. Perhaps larger companies have more opportunity to contract directly with VMware, but I do not have that leverage. The only path I can follow is to change solutions. Net.spA is a company working in the field of waste management. We are not a technological company, so we do not have a large margin to justify purchasing and maintaining the VMware infrastructure at current costs.

Pros

"Using InfrOS accelerates the process of migration planning and execution."
"I have observed improvements in CI/CD infrastructure optimization, designing AI-native workloads, exploring pricing alternatives, and forecasting."
"Our customers who have used it have definitely seen an ROI; instead of using so many physical servers to achieve the same thing, they've reduced it to five physical servers, and they are able to do much more with those five servers."
"The dashboards are nice, because I can have one pane and have everything that I want to see and not have to drill into new things every time."
"We can actually use it to expand on other aspects of it by adding additional packs is really good."
"It has most definitely helped us avoid outages or shortened outage time."
"Once we implemented vROps we were able to save a lot of time."
"The solution helped us to reduce time to troubleshoot issues, improved our quality of service to our users, and it provides cost savings for high capacity utilization."
"It's one of the best products that does the job."
"It has helped improve the quality of service to users."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the Github connection."
"I would really like to have features that will help me analyze my usage on existing environments in the cloud and suggest architectural optimization improvements."
"It does the functions that we need it to. Although we do have some issues from time to time. We're looking for more maturity out of the product but it's getting better with every release."
"Setting up the alerts, definitions and actions were kind of tricky because there's a lot of false positives. A lot of things it alerts you on are not really problems, so you have to go in and tweak the policies around to see the actual real issues."
"Having the capability to manage the enterprise display would be highly beneficial."
"More stable upgrades, if that's a feature. Had some problems so far."
"I would say it's slow. The version we have right now is pretty robust in the sense that after you've installed it, and it's been running for awhile - it has to run for at least thirty days or longer. Then, it really gives you back meaningful data."
"It would be nice if it could tell me more about my hardware, if there were any updates on the network that should be deployed, if some firmware needs to be deployed on the server, etc."
"I was involved in the initial setup. It was complex."
"We have used technical support sometimes. It could be a little bit challenging."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We would like to build custom dashboards in the standard license. Right now, this is available in the enterprise license, not the standard license."
"When we last did a comparison of solutions, the pricing was equal or similar."
"Pricing is good for us. We're non-profit so we get a break on that."
"I would give the solution a three out of five, with one being cheap and five being expensive. There are some elements of the pricing that are good, and some areas where I feel like I'm being charged for something the product can't provide yet."
"VMware support is very costly compared to other organizations' support. When you purchase a VMware product, such as vSphere or vROps, the license is perpetual, but you also have to purchase the support service for a number of years. The support service pricing is very high compared to the license, and compared to competitive vendors."
"We have seen good ROI results. It has made our lives easier."
"I would like to see a free offering. Cost is always a factor in any sort of line. Obviously, the value added is there and it's worth it."
"The solution has a huge cost. If we could just have one license covering everything that vROps can do, that would be great. I would prefer it this way."
