Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, IBM, Nutanix and others in Virtualization Management Tools."The main point of installing, deploying, and troubleshooting with vRealize Operations is to provide visual dashboards to ensure that the entire workload is functioning properly."
"It has allowed me to give the developers insight into what's actually happening underneath the covers. They used to only be able to see their app and now, they can see underneath. We've also given them access to see into the OS and we've given them a full stack view of how their application is performing."
"From an IT department perspective, it does help in reducing the time to troubleshoot issues and in providing cost savings through higher capacity utilization."
"It's very easy to use and very stable. Scaling up for future use will be no issue with this solution."
"The performance for monitoring the VM is very good. Additionally, the solution is flexible."
"This solution is most definitely scalable. We've already gone back to the drawing board and specifically designed it from the ground up, to be scalable with the size of our environment moving forward."
"The most valuable feature is determining if more resources are needed, at the hypervisor level, based on the workload of the virtual machines that we have in our environment."
"You take all of vCenter's built-in items and you've got one pane of glass for the policies: DRS policies, SRM policies, all of those things work well with VROps."
"I like the integration with other applications or vendors."
"The way the dashboard works with the main orchestrator to combine different types of cloud providers is helpful."
"The tool helps us to monitor the services provided to customers as a cloud provider. The product is a monitoring solution that helps customers pay for their utilization of services."
"The most valuable feature is that it has a very easy and adaptive look and feel, compared with some other cloud solutions."
"The most valuable feature is that it allows us to compare the billing between the clouds."
"The most valuable feature is the metering capability."
"This solution has made us aware that we are over-provisioning our virtual machines."
"The product provides excellent daily reports."
"I would like to see multi-cloud support. It would be nice to see analytics not only on-prem but on VMWare Cloud on AWS. I think that's in the roadmap."
"Having the capability to manage the enterprise display would be highly beneficial."
"I'd like to see the streamlining of more wizards, more tasks that are canned. And it would also be good to see some more features around building the Blueprints, just to make it a little easier."
"They should make it easier to find those granular things that you're always looking for. You're always running into a situation where you want to use the tool to figure out a problem, but the amount of effort needed to delve into vROps and find the exact metric you're looking for is always so difficult."
"Sometimes it's difficult to find some features like they were in previous versions."
"Our hands are tied by using this product. It is not as flexible as it could be."
"It wasn't exactly proactive. It was supposed to, but there were a lot of delays. It could also be because of our infrastructure and the way our network was set up. If vROps could be more proactive, that would be nice. It is nice to have the information beforehand, but when there is downtime, it takes a lot of time for us to be able to see an issue in real-time, which becomes a bit challenging. If there is a way to improve the data collection for the whole vCenter that would be nice because data collection takes a lot of time."
"The integration points can use improvement. We currently use a lot of third-party management packs to get insights for SQL, HP or Dell EMC. If we could have more integration built in as a standard feature that would make it slightly better."
"The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved."
"I would like it if they could provide their customers with more qualified support."
"Better integration with other VMware toolsets would be beneficial."
"The product needs some investment in configuration. I would like to see better and more optimized configuration in the tool's future releases."
"I would like to have an easy way of modifying the reference data that is used for the purposes of estimating the total billing."
"It would be a good idea for VMware to be compatible with the most popular orchestration tools in the market."
"The pricing model is complicated and would be more predictable if it were simplified."
"It's not always easy to find the information you need. You must have a lot of technical experience to find the right location for what you're implementing within the program."
