Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Nutanix, IBM and others in Cloud Management."The optimization of the solution is quite interesting."
"The solution is compatible and integrates with various infrastructures or providers."
"Red Hat CloudForms is a stable product. There is no issue with the stability."
"The stability of the solution is very good. We haven't had any issues with it."
"I am impressed with the product's reports."
"They are a very mature product."
"Red Hat CloudForms is stable once it is up and running."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat CloudForms are the benefit of the collective functionality."
"We can manage and relocate resources easily."
"The storage motion is a good feature. It is a very good tool."
"The product's integration is good, it works well with other programs and solutions."
"It's 100% stable, it's always stable. We haven't had any bugs. The solution works very well and we haven't had any problems."
"It has the best workflow feature."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the workflow creation."
"The hardware abstraction layer, being able to make the VMs portable when moving to a different platform or over a WAN."
"The problem is that the platform requires it to be maintained and updated. Also, a few cases are still pending with the Red Hat support team since they are not closed yet."
"I have issues with the solution's permissions. Unlike VMware, the product doesn't allow folder-type permissions."
"Because the solution needs to integrate with other products that surround it, there is a lot of configuration required, and this can be quite complex. It's not as easy as it is with, for example, VMware."
"It is difficult to create a complete dashboard that includes all the needed features or catalogs."
"All of the areas of Red Hat CloudForms could improve. It doesn't do half of the things that it says it can do out of the box. It takes configuration to make any of it work, which is not uncommon for solutions similar to this. However, it is frustrating."
"The solution is still quite immature."
"The solution's provisioning engine needs to be improved."
"The complexity of the solution is a bit high in comparison to VMware."
"The licensing is expensive and should be improved."
"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."
"I did not do the initial setup. However, it was complex at the beginning."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Storage has room for improvement. It's a big problem for our solution. The interface also needs improvement, it should be simplified."
"This solution needs to have more built-in workflows."
"I would like to see better performance."
"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."
