vCenter Configuration Manager Reviews

We use vCenter Configuration Manager for the Virtualization use case to template our workload on a cluster and use virtualization methods.

vCenter Configuration Manager is a very good product, it works well.

The price could be reduced.

I have been working with vCenter Configuration Manager for five years.

We are using version 7.

vCenter Configuration Manager is a stable product.

vCenter Configuration Manager is a scalable solution.

In our company, we have 100 users.

I have contacted technical support and they are good.

We have occupation delivery switches. We use Ruckus and Juniper.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The deployment took two hours.

We require four engineers to maintain this solution.

I have a license to cover four hosts.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate vCenter Configuration Manager a nine out of ten.

vCenter Configuration Manager is used for managing multiple hosts, clusters, data centers, and sites.

The most valuable feature of vCenter Configuration Manager is the automated processes.

SAP CRM could improve by adding additional automation features.

I have been using vCenter Configuration Manager for a few years.

vCenter Configuration Manager is a stable solution.

I have found vCenter Configuration Manager to be scalable.

We have approximately eight clients using the solution.

We have not had any problems with the support.

The initial setup of vCenter Configuration Manager is easy. It took us approximately one day to complete the implementation.

We do the implementation of vCenter Configuration Manager ourselves. We have two people that handle the support for this solution.

The solution comes with three-year support. We have to renew the support annually after the three years are up.

I rate vCenter Configuration Manager a ten out of ten.

vCenter makes it easy to manipulate the clusters between machines so that there is no downtime that we can observe on any machine we host on our VMware.

The stability and reliability are great.

The initial setup is quick and easy.

It's a product that can scale.

The solution could provide even more capacity.

We'd like to see more integration capabilities.

I've been using the solution for almost two years. 

The stability has been very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It never crashes or freezes.

We've never contacted technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

Previously we dealt with VMware only.

The installation is very simple and straightforward. It is not difficult to get everything up and running. 

The initial implementation takes about one hour.

We have two or three people that can handle deployment and maintenance. 

At this point, we can handle the integration ourselves without the help of an integrator.

We pay a yearly licensing fee.

I do not recall the exact version number we are using.

I would rate the solution at a perfect ten out of ten. I've been very happy with its capabilities.

I would recommend the solution to others. It's quite good.

The client I'm working with is basically a national ISP, and they are hosting multiple services and a couple of mail servers and hosting servers. So, basically, clusters are made with multiple hardware and things are running on them.

The clustering part and the load balancing part are most valuable.

Error reporting should be more precise and descriptive, and there is no way to filter the logs. It would be helpful if its logs analysis can be more detailed, and the logs can be filtered.

I have been using this solution for about three years.

Its stability is good. It is stable and very traditional.

It is indeed scalable. In terms of the number of users, we have three or four admin users. 

In this company, presently, there is not much scope for increasing the usage. It is currently able to meet their requirements. They're using it on a small scale, and they don't need all of its features. Whatever is there at the moment is sufficient for them. I'm not sure if there is an immediate requirement for expansion. They might scale up, but it is going to take time. 

I never needed any support.

Previously, I used to use Hypervisor and OpenStack, but a lot of involvement was there, so we slowly switched to VMware vCenter.

It was quite easy. It didn't take a long time. Anyone with basic networking knowledge can do it.

We didn't use an integrator or a consultant.

It is on a yearly basis.

I would rate vCenter Configuration Manager a nine out of 10.

I use this solution for workstation configuration management.

There are a lot of useful features, such as DRS, ease of use, and many configuration options. Additionally, they have prototype features, such as operation manager and site login.

I have been using the solution for approximately six years.

The solution is very stable and I can rely on it.

This solution is easy to scale. You need to upgrade and have the appropriate licenses. 

I work in three companies and the largest one has approximately 500 users using the solution and the other two have approximately 15 users using it.

I would like there to be support for this solution in Iran.

We previously used Microsoft Hyper-V.

I rate vCenter Configuration Manager a ten out of ten.

We use this solution in our data center for network management.

This solution has improved our network environment's functionality through effective management.

The most valuable features of this solution are the ability to manage all of our environments allowing us to have better functionality and high availability.

I have been using this solution for approximately seven years.

I have found the solution to be stable.

The solution is very scalable. we have approximately 60 people in my company using this solution.

The technical support is not as responsive as it could be. They are slow to respond to our issues with a resolution. There should be online chat support added.

The initial setup is easy.

The price of the solution is expensive. However, it is reasonably priced compared to competitors.

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate vCenter Configuration Manager a nine out of ten.

We have a basic configuration with a host in a cluster, and a virtual machine.

The most valuable features are vMotion and high availability.

I appreciate it because it's very easy to set up and configure new disks and servers.

The pricing can be improved.

It is not so user-friendly that you can just start the host and everything works. However, for somebody with five or ten years of experience, the administration is not very difficult.

We have been using VCM for close to one year.

This is a stable and very strong solution.

We have not needed to scale as of yet.

I have not had the need to contact technical support.

Our intention is to upgrade to version 7.

The initial setup is not complex.

We have an in-house team for deployment. Two of us are in charge of using and maintaining this product, and we are both administrators.

We did not continue to look for other products after evaluating VMware.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

The primary purpose of the product is to maintain system performance and optimize it.  

I find all of the features of the solution valuable. All of them are valuable although I use some more frequently. I like Snapchat, RDS (Remote Desktop Services), cloning, migration, DDS (Data Distribution Service), and server switch probably as the features I use the most. All of these features serve different purposes and are very useful.  

Honestly, I do not feel like I am an expert with the product who can suggest technical enhancements. The setup and implementation could probably be better. It does not seem like we should have to do so much manual configuration. Instad of supplying everything manually at the prompts, it should offer some options for automation of the setup. I guess something like that is already available, but if it is I do not know it. If automating the updates were possible to do it would be very nice.  

I have been using the product for about 10 years, but I have been working on managing it for the past two to three years.  

I have not had to deal directly with the technical support because I am an architect so I am doing high-level design. The technical stuff or the day-to-day operations are done by another team. They are responsible for opening tickets and calls with level one and level two support.  

The efficiency of the initial setup is good. Some automation is already available but it could be better. If you have the OVA (Open Virtual Appliance) or if you can somehow install it using the silent mode it would improve the functionality. For example, you create your definition and from that, you can get the parameters automatically without manually entering every field. So you use a pre-defined setup and instead of working manually you just do one click and the changes are pushed out.  

On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate vCenter Configuration Manager as maybe an eight to nine-out-of-ten. To make it even better and to score a ten-of-ten, the ease-of-use and the flexibility of configuration could be improved. If it was easier to use and easier to implement and to set up, it will be closer to a ten.
