vCenter Orchestrator Reviews

For the deployment, we start with the VR Automation, it's part of it.

The most valuable feature is that this solution is complete, and you don't need any add-ons.

The UI should be more simplified so that fewer tech users are required.

The workflow can be complicated. I would like a simpler workflow, and I would like it to be more friendly to use.

In the next release, to make it easier to write the workflows, I would l like to see more HTML GUIs.

This solution is stable.

It's running automatically, we don't touch it, everything that we are doing, we do through the VR automation, not through the Orchestrator.

This solution is scalable.

We have not contacted technical support because we haven't needed to.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The deployment was part of the VR Automations, it only took thirty minutes.

We do not have a business relationship with VCenter Orchestrator, we are customers.

To do a day to day job, you already have everything that you need in this solution. Add-ons are not necessary. This is why it is a good solution.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The solution is a cluster of servers which is managed by the vCenter cluster manager or vCenter Orchestrator. It controls workflows for us. 

The powerful management console for each allocation gives the foundation of the organization. The ability for maneuvering in the location of computing resources and storage to reach the required performance for the IT department satisfies the organization's basic needs.

The solution's HA feature is very good. The VRS and multi-source scheduling are very helpful. The port to run feature is good as well.

The user interface is very user-friendly.

The solution could be a little bit less expensive. It used to be cheaper, but now it is very costly and the license model counts by the processor. The currency conversion rate in Egypt is very high, and a couple of thousand dollars means here a lot of money to us here.

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.

The solution is very scalable.

Communication with technical support is very good. It has a repository of knowledge base articles which we can access which are very helpful.

The initial setup was very easy.

We mostly use the private cloud deployment model.

I would recommend the solution. I'd rate it 8.5 out of ten.

We use it for segmentation and the isolation of tenants.

The DRS feature from VMware is very valuable to us because it balances workloads.

I did not encounter any downtime in my environment. 

VMware continues to improve its product, and we find a lot of new features that have improved over the years. I would like to see a greater ability to do mobile administration. 

The stability is good. It is a stable solution. 

We have had no problems with scaling of this product. We have over 130 users of the product. 

Deployment took us approximately four hours.
