More Oracle BPEL Pros →

"If I need to do DR, VMware can enable me to use vMotion, which requires use of vCenter. You cannot do vMotion without vCenter. We do a lot of automation, orchestration, and simplification for that purpose.""The storage motion is a good feature. It is a very good tool.""The most valuable feature for us is the performance stability of vCenter Orchestrator, especially in complex situations, making it excellent for managing virtual machines.""Because of the central management, the scripting engine and workflow engine are integrated with VMware without any burden to integrate different products.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The product's integration is good, it works well with other programs and solutions.""I like the tool's DNS feature.""We can scale the solution."

Cons
"In the next release, I would like to see REST improved and new technologies for microservices. I'd like to see more containers for separating containers.""Some user-defined functions for transformation must be added to the next release of the solution."

More Oracle BPEL Cons →

"There can be compatibility issues.""The scalability option provided by the solution is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""The price of this product is high and could be improved.""It is practically difficult at this stage to really comment on the improvisations of V central. But more tech events and PoC cases would help the EA to design better solutions and utilization.""The snapshot technology of VMware is not good compared to other solutions in the market, like Nutanix.""The response time of vCenter Orchestrator's support could be improved.""The solution's price could be cheaper.""I liked the previous client better than the current web client of vCenter Orchestrator, though my colleagues like the client now. The technical support for vCenter Orchestrator needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The product is moderately priced."
  • More Oracle BPEL 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."
