"It has helped us develop a better way of selling services to customers, evolve from the typical housing, and make revenues for the Telefonica company."
"The product allows us to add or remove features."
"The compatibility with vSAN and NSX is the greatest feature of vCloud. It also has integration with vROps, which is quite nice."
"This solution has helped us make money and provision our clients faster."
"We use the infrastructure as a service cloud, that is, we use the features as infrastructure for this. We are not using any platform services."

"Key enhancements include better synchronization with vCenter and increased reliability, ensuring stability during extensive usage and various actions."
"Initial setup was complex. There's a lot that goes into it."
"The availability of technical support could improve."
"The solution can be improved by speeding up the synchronizing of the policies on the devices."
"The solution is on-premises. The cloud version of the product, if a person needs to be on the cloud, would be InTune, which already exists as an option. SCCM doesn't need to offer cloud features for this reason."
"In terms of scalability, I believe there's room for improvement. While SCCM is capable of handling our current needs effectively, scalability could be enhanced to accommodate future growth and larger deployments."
"The deployment process is lengthy and should be quicker to complete."
"The solution does not support remote devices so the CMG is still required."
"Troubleshooting in general needs improvement. There's just a ton of logs to go through, and so finding the error log that corresponds with that you're doing can sometimes be difficult."
"The product installation process could be easier for new users as well."
"Improvements could be made in the building feature since there isn't a real building feature associated with the product. We require a building feature to integrate with other solutions."
"This is very simple in OpenShift. We are happy with vCloud in terms of the virtualization but not for redundancy and distribution."
"It would be beneficial if some features were built into the platform rather than requiring integration with multiple products, reducing complexity and licensing concerns."
"There are too many errors, it could be more stable."
"It could be more stable. We have had issues with multiple different versions."
"The initial setup is not straightforward; it can be complicated. The deployment can take one to two weeks."
"The reason we moved to Microsoft Intune was because of the license cost of VMware. It's very expensive."
