Significantly streamlined operations with good automation that helps with simplifying workflows

Pros

"It helps me build a big catalog and provide it to my end users."

Good stability, supports a hybrid model and easy to use

Pros

"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that difficult. "

Cons

"There is an area of improvement. For example, you are migrating from a customer's existing data center to a new target data center. To facilitate this transition, you'll initially need to evaluate the customer's aging hardware hosting VMware, which is nearing the end of its operational life. The customer expresses the intention to upgrade to a newer version, necessitating an overhaul of everything in the new data center. As a Systems Integrator (SI), consultant, or architect, your recommendation would be to acquire the latest hardware with a specified configuration and then install VMware on top of it. However, there's a crucial aspect related to the infrastructure requirements for VMware to run seamlessly on that hardware. If there's an opportunity to potentially reduce these infrastructure prerequisites, it would be highly beneficial."

Provides valuable automation capabilities and efficient integration functionality

Pros

"I recommend the product due to its effectiveness in automation and integration. "

A cloud-agnostic platform that supports integration with ServiceNow, Kubernetes, and other tools

Pros

"VMware Aria Automation supports integration with ServiceNow, Kubernetes, and other tools. It is cloud-agnostic, making it a stronger platform than Ansible. "

Cons

"Broadcom has acquired the tool, which could lower its pricing. Many customers are moving away from VMware infrastructure towards enterprise systems like Azure or AWS. This shift could be due to two main reasons: pricing and uncertainty about the future, especially regarding how Broadcom will handle licenses and strategy. "

Automates infrastructure delivery process with release pipeline management, including visibility and analytics into active pipelines and their status for troubleshooting

Pros

"I like its capacity, the self-service portal, and operational automation. The most beneficial feature is that it saves time when creating new virtual machines, deploying security measures, and writing infrastructure code, making things easier and faster. We have a standard we follow, reducing the time spent repeatedly rewriting everything. "

Cons

"The integration is a bit tight. I need the right package to use it properly. The new automation processes for VMware are messy, and support could be better. "

Enables us to connect between multiple VMs in a matter of seconds

Pros

"We can connect between multiple VMs in a matter of seconds."

Cons

"The connectivity between VMs is easy, but they can be made more effective if we have a single proof point where we can configure all the biggest data at a single point. "

Has an easy deployment process, but it could be more user-friendly for new users

Pros

"The product saves a lot of time and cost for us. It has valuable features for creating a playbook. "

Cons

"It is complex to use for new users. It should have automated tools or drag-and-drop functionality."

Ability to exectute tasks quickly but the process to automate is predominantly manual

Pros

"Currently, the primary feature we're using in VMware Aria Automation is its ability to execute tasks quickly. However, we haven't explored other features like workload management or the full stack yet. So it's hard to make comparisons or fully utilize its potential until we expand our usage. "

Cons

"Our current use cases aren't very complex, but as our environment grows, we're seeing a greater need for automation. We're considering expanding our automation efforts, especially since other competitive products are starting to offer similar features."
