Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Appian and others in Process Automation."In regards to the workflows, the fact that we can actually have a full dashboard library of all the existing workflows on this is great. We can see all the workflows and what all the actions do and can work with scripts."
"The product's integration is good, it works well with other programs and solutions."
"It is very stable. I have been using vCenter Orchestrator from version three now to six plus."
"The most crucial feature of vCenter is its scalability. We can use it to expand our network, so we don't have to report our client devices. The network configuration features are also helpful because we can migrate entire networks."
"The hardware abstraction layer, being able to make the VMs portable when moving to a different platform or over a WAN."
"The solution is pretty stable and reliable."
"Communication with technical support is very good. It has a repository of knowledge base articles which we can access which are very helpful."
"The most valuable feature for us is the performance stability of vCenter Orchestrator, especially in complex situations, making it excellent for managing virtual machines."
"It has increased the speed of VM deployment. A normal server request would come in, it could take anywhere from three to four days to deploy and now within 15 minutes they can click and have something up and running. IT support for developers is nice as well because they are able to manage the environment themselves."
"Alerts and monitoring were most valuable. It was also pretty user-friendly and interactive. I was able to generate good reports in PDF and HTML formats, which was really helpful."
"The most valuable features are the Blueprints and Workflows, to be able to hand the self-service portal out; to get out of the way and let the developers spin up their workloads as they need them."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is integrated for monitoring, performance, and troubleshooting."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. From the web interface, you can literally just go straight into actually installing vROps with very little previous knowledge required to get it up and running."
"It gives us a better look into performance, a better look into right-sizing, a better look at possible issues or, more so, trends."
"vROps' best feature is the easy integration with the environment."
"I think vROps is scalable and suitable for our environment."
"This is an expensive solution."
"We encounter challenges related to the renewal of support subscriptions."
"The product lacks GUIs. The tool should have more GUIs available, along with easier product documentation."
"It is too expensive. One of the main issues is the price."
"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 cost of the solution is high."
"It could be integrated with third-party hypervisors."
"Its technical support team takes a long time to escalate the issues."
"We integrated vROps with vRealize Log Insight, but it was not helpful to me. It was not giving me any good data."
"When you are at your lowest, support is pretty bad. They ask you dumb questions but when you come to second and upper service desk, it is much easier and much better to talk to and resolve the issue."
"Sometimes it's difficult to find some features like they were in previous versions."
"I rated this solution a nine because I haven't had any issues with it and it has been intuitive and easy to use. I don't know it well enough to give it a ten."
"I would like to see them add a little bit more functionality and the ability to create more dashboards."
"The room for improvement is in the definition of the metrics. There are millions of metrics inside the solution, but there is no documentation from VMware for what those exact metrics are. That is a trouble point at times."
"vROps is, by its nature, a very complex product."
"At the beginning, the stability was not that good. The latest versions are much better."
