VMware Aria Automation Reviews

We use it for server virtualization.

It's scalable. As the needs of the university grow, it's growing with us.

There is room for improvement but, hopefully, everything is being been addressed already. For example, integrations. VMware is going crazy with M&A and integrations take time, so I can't complain.

It's a stable product.

I'm very happy to see the partnership with AWS.

Technical support is fantastic. They're responsive with tickets.

We used a little bit of everything.

The initial setup was complex. It's improving now.

I'm happy with the product. I would absolutely recommend it to a colleague.

When you compare it to other products in the market, it depends on what you're trying to do.

We are part of a Cloud team and vRA self-service portal helps our customers worldwide to provision machines and Day 2 operations automatically without logging tickets and wasting time.

We are part of a Cloud service provider. It has helped our business to grow and scale.

Implementation should not be so complex. Certificate replacement should be easier.

Three years.

Performance of the service portal seems to be slow at times. Requires a reboot once a month.

We faced no issues with scalability.

Technical support is good through Ireland and the US.

No, we have been using vRA for three years.

It was complex; the certificate was the worst part.

As an engineer, I didn’t look at the pricing model.

No, we are a partner with VMware so that was our choice.

Read the knowledge base articles from VMware.

The most valuable features are the EBS (Event Broker Subscription) and NSX integration with BP designer.

Multiple BPs can be deployed with EBS and PG (Property Group) in a lot less time.

IaaS components: I have an assumption that all the IaaS components will be migrated to a Linux appliance, then I think the communication between the Linux appliance and the IaaS components will happen faster and smoother.

We have used this version for almost 1.5 years. We previously used version 7.0.

Sometimes, we encountered stability issues, but they were negligible.

Sometimes, we encountered scalability issues but they were negligible.

Very Good.

Technical support was good.

This is the first product we used.

Installation was straightforward and simple .

It’s very helpful for us to have this product. We already gained the benefits after installation and configuration.

We did not look at alternatives; this is the ultimate product.

Use it for automation in order to achieve Agility, Efficiency and Control over the IT Service Delivery..

We use it to deploy virtual machines and integrate them into our structured environment.

The quick provisioning: We get a lot of things done automatically within hours. These things lasts days or weeks in further situations.

The solution is intuitive and user-friendly. E.g., you have less number of logins.

The stability is okay, but could be improved. We sometimes receive strange errors, which can only be solved with specialists.

We don't use the scalability.

The technical support will handle our requests quickly if understood. However, there are often misunderstandings depending on the information that we provide and they request.

We had another product before this, but we moved away from it to use vRealize Automation. The UI, administration possibilities, and the integration of the overall system were better than the former system, which was not up-to-date.

It improves the work, making it better. It also makes daily work much easier.

We use it to be able to see everything within our VM space.

It has helped our organization tremendously.

It provides visibility into the VM space.

It is user-friendly to a greater extent.

It is stable.

It is scalable.

I have used the technical support once or twice, and they were good.

We are highly virtualized, so we like anything related to VMware because we need the visability their products provide. We need to know what is going on, so we can supervise our operations.

The setup is difficult. You need a technical person to help you set it up.

We have not upgraded yet.

I would recommend this solution.
