Great topic subscription monitoring, helpful management, and useful for audits
Addition of more monitoring features to Azure Cosmos DB can be a huge help as we use the same as the main database for our applications. One more thing to note is that their support team was always ready to clear all our doubts regarding the product but we feel that it would be much appreciated if they could share with us the required resources to get new customers like us well-versed in traversing through different modules of the product. These are the very few areas where Serverless360 can be improved.

Automation has streamlined complex financial workflows but still needs more intuitive orchestration
Something to improve in VMware Aria Automation would be related to VCF 9, as I do not know what it is trying to bring because they exposed it as the solution of everything. So VCF 9 will bring VCF Automation and VCF Operations, the new product line of VMware. I have not seen what this brings or what else it includes. Maybe in the area of vRealize Orchestrator, this would be beneficial because VRO can do everything. Perhaps a more user-friendly way to use that tool would be helpful because the possibilities there are endless. I am looking for more user-friendly navigation in VMware Aria Automation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Serverless360 transformed the way our organizations manage Azure and hybrid integrations."
"It offers all the core capabilities we need to manage and monitor our Azure services."
"That is exactly where Serverless360 helped us by bringing in both Service Bus management and monitoring under the same hood."
"Service Bus topic subscription monitoring turned out to be the most useful for us."
"The most valuable feature is the automation of the deployment of the whole machine."
"usability; It's very user-friendly. It is not hard to go and find things. There is a one-click Help that you can use to find all the documentation you need to manage it."
"Aria Automation gives you the flexibility to deploy tenants with customized blueprints for permissions and policies."
"Salt lets you run commands on hundreds of servers at once; and sync up software, tools, and scripts across your infrastructure."
"We spent far less time to upgrade and configure all of our hosts."
"I can make a blueprint with an Active Directory deployment. With everything prepared, people can start installing our products."
"vRA has enabled us to derive value from the cloud faster. It is five to six times faster than traditional solutions."
"Deploying a patch on 200 systems is now just a click."
 

Cons

"The user interface of Serveress360 could be improved a bit to make the platform even easier to use."
"Addition of more monitoring features to Azure Cosmos DB can be a huge help as we use the same as the main database for our applications."
"The initial setup is complex. There are too many components to integrate, especially when we integrated with different storage types and backup vendors. All the integration made it more complex."
"For the administrator, it can be a little challenging. For the administrator, there are a lot of moving parts. It is fine once you figure out where the knobs are you need to twiddle, but it can be a challenge to get it up and running."
"The initial setup was complex from beginning to delivery. The current version is a bit more complex than version 7 to deploy."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Minion-based deployment is not very smooth. Most of the time, many minions were in a stale state and didn't respond to the salt-master."
"Master/minion connections are subject to hijacking, privilege escalation, and/or information leaks."
"The solution is intuitive, but not necessarily user-friendly. In particular, it's the documentation. It's a lot of going-through-the-weeds types of scenarios. There is just an abundance of information, so it's a matter of understanding how the objects or the relationships exist, and then, obviously, being able to access that information and knowing how to make use of it."
"We upgraded twice. The last upgrade was a bit problematic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"They should provide one license for all the sub-products."
"So much can be done with the Open Source side, and especially for smaller shops. I personally think the pricing for Enterprise is hard to justify."
"This is an expensive product and the high price is starting to become an issue for us."
"The solution is pretty expensive but provides good workload management."
"VMware Aria Automation is expensive."
"It is an expensive product. After VMware's acquisition by Broadcom, there was a rise in the price of VMware Aria Automation."
"The tool is expensive since it is an enterprise product."
"It is pricey for what you get."
