Chief Operating Officer at Merchuian Solutions

Performance and availability of services need improvement

NTT Cloud needs to analyze feature offerings from AWS and Azure. Additionally, they should do marketing and be more vocal about the services. They should further ensure the availability of the services as well. I rate NTT Cloud a three out of ten. In comparison, AWS and Azure are easier to fit into the environment in terms of reliability.

Mangesh Parjane

Technical Manager at Owens & Minor, Inc.

Experience has improved centralized management through single console operations

There is room for improvement in how section updates are handled. The challenge lies in the difficulty of pinpointing issues when something goes wrong at a single stage. Also, each user needs deep knowledge of every aspect of virtualization, and the VMware personnel might not fully grasp aspects outside their expertise, requiring the involvement of other professionals.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The pricing and services that surround the solution are great. For example, if we need to find a partner in a country where they do not have a cloud, they will help us find that partner. Solutions such as Amazon and Oracle do not offer this level of service."

"The initial setup process is more accessible than one of its competitors."

"You can use VMware Cloud Foundation with hyper-converge."

"The most valuable area is the ECS environment which includes many features."

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

"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 most valuable features in VMware Cloud Foundation are life cycle management and ease of use."

"The product enables flexibility in network structures."

"The solution's most valuable features are automated provisioning, network, and storage."

"We are using it for infrastructure automation."

More VMware Cloud Foundation pros

Cons

"The solution could use more advanced monitoring."

"NTT Cloud’s performance could be better."

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

"There may be room for improvement in the resource allocation feature. VMware Broadcom needs to include auto resource allocation at the VM levels."

"I would like to be able to connect the APIs."

"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."

"The use of cloud and other integrations need to be improved and made easier."

"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."

"The platform needs improvement in terms of troubleshooting."

"The solution is quite expensive."

More VMware Cloud Foundation cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product’s pricing a four out of ten."

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

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

"The tool's price is slightly on the higher side, but I guess you think there is no one-to-one comparison with other tools. The licensing part has become easier, while earlier, it was quite complex."

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."

"If our customer has the option to buy a server for $4,000 or $5,000, but VMware asks for two-person licensing $7,000 to $8,000, which is more than the hardware price. So sometimes, the customer cannot pay for it because it's too expensive."

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

"It is quite expensive."

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