Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Automation is the opportunity to use more or less any kind of scripting software.""It's easy for the IT admins at the company to use. It isn't hard to understand and there are lots of features you can use out of the box. If a feature isn't available in Ivanti Automation, you can always script it."

People can request to automate all processes with vCenter Orchestrator, such as adding storage, creating VMs, removing VMs, and extending VMs.""The storage motion is a good feature.

Cons
"Ivanti Automation should deliver more fixed templates for standard use cases or standard procedures.""Their cloud relay feature needs to improve to compete with other products in cloud solutions like Azure and AWS. It should be easier to deploy or provision images in the cloud with Ivanti Automation. Better Azure integration would also help."

"Mainly VMware integrates with other products, but there is no easy way to link with other products from a different vendor. We can integrate with other products from the same vendors fairly well, but if they could make it so integration is easier with other vendors, that would really help.""The solution needs to integrate with Cloud facilities like AWS and Azure.""The price of this product is high and could be improved.""I would like to see more automation added in the future.""VMware tools would benefit from more automation. When installing our devices and servers, we often need to install the VMware tools manually. This process should be automated during the VM installation process.""This is an expensive solution.""The product’s cost needs improvement.""We would like more flexibility in sizing data storage and virtual machines, as the current options aren't very adaptable."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
  • More Ivanti Automation Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Our licensing is on a yearly basis. We pay for the license and then we pay the support every year."
  • "This solution is expensive and the licensing is more attractive for Haveri."
  • "The price is reasonable, and one of the reasons that this product was selected."
  • "We provide the VMware solution to our clients, for which they pay a perpetual license."
  • "The concept of hyper-convergence is smart. I don't know if it can be applied with less cost to be more affordable for small or medium-sized companies. The cost is a very important factor for it. We are currently depending on SAN storage. However, the hyper-converged solutions are depending on the storage within the hosts, such as vSAN in the VMware. It is a smart solution."
  • "We pay a yearly fee, based on our entries."
  • "The licensing module is somewhat complex. Calculating the cost is complicated. Many of our clients are unclear about the billing system and the traffic metering."
  • "The licensing cost is manageable because they have different versions available, standard, essential, and advanced."
