I have been using vCenter Orchestrator from version three now to six plus.""The solution's ability to template and easily implement are the most valuable features. It offers good replication as well.""It's 100% stable, it's always stable. We haven't had any bugs.

Cons
"OpenText Cloud Service Automation needs to incorporate easier installation. It should improve skills and quality of support.""I would like fewer restrictions as a software tester."

More OpenText Cloud Service Automation Cons →

"I would like to see a greater ability to do mobile administration.""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.""There are some update-related issues with the product.""I believe vCenter Orchestrator should be part of VMware vSphere's basic bundle. As a product, vCenter Orchestrator should not be licensed at all because the world has progressed way beyond what it can offer.""The solution needs to integrate with Cloud facilities like AWS and Azure.""The solution's price could be cheaper.""Using this solution requires a lot of experience.""vCenter Orchestrator's debugging capacity could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "OpenText Cloud Service Automation's pricing is average."
  • More OpenText Cloud Service 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."
