Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
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 product's initial setup phase was easy.""User-friendly and easy to deploy.""The solution was easy to install.""Technical support is helpful.""It is the most cost-effective method for moving data between machines.""vCenter Orchestrator's best features are the workflows, integration with third-party applications, and the workflow library.""The solution's ability to template and easily implement are the most valuable features. It offers good replication as well."

"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."

More WorkflowGen Pros →

Cons
"This solution needs to have more built-in workflows.""The solution needs to integrate with Cloud facilities like AWS and Azure.""The snapshot technology of VMware is not good compared to other solutions in the market, like Nutanix.""The price of this product is high and could be improved.""I would like to see better performance.""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.""I would like to see a greater ability to do mobile administration.""Using this solution requires a lot of experience."

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."
