The most valuable features of VMware Aria Operations for Applications include its ability to monitor alerts for different components, its excellent alerting setup, and its SMTP feature for sending alerts to team distribution lists. 

It significantly improves application performance management by offering recommendations for resource allocation to avoid wastage or overcommitment. We are able to be proactive in planning for capacity, whether it be infrastructure or guest VMs that we are managing and hosting.

I can see what happens end to end, which is pretty beneficial. The solution has troubleshooting capabilities, providing a direct connection to knowledge base articles from VMware Broadcom. 

When I encounter an error, I can search directly within the system to see what solutions have been employed by others. It has a familiar interface, which makes it easy to get started.

VMware Aria Operations for Applications offers significant features such as real-time statistics, the ability to identify possible issues within the VM environment, and helpful heat maps. These features enhance application performance management, improve reporting capabilities, and aid in troubleshooting.

For us, the ease of deployment in combination with TMZ was the most important part because we don't have to manually deploy a complex monitoring solution. We can more or less do that with the click of a button, and we are not dependent on the developers to provide us with all the necessary features and functions to make that work. We can just deploy it on a workload cluster and monitor at least a good part of the workload. If we want to go into detail, we clearly need to make changes, but for a good part of application monitoring, it gives us good insights.

The solution is great for virtualization and preparing the infrastructure in Tanzu to test products. It's very fast and has good visibility.

Tanzu itself, integrated with multiple solutions, bestows support and security upon a container platform, especially when it comes to managing open-source container platforms such as Kubernetes.

As a separate operating system, it lets you easily add packages for these aspects of container management (e.g. for updating and automation of SaaS apps, in addition to increasing security and support), and with Tanzu you can integrate with an MSSP to provide even more security without using a proxy.

The company is able to use native Kubernetes. It can support open-source technologies. If you have trouble putting these together with VMware, you get help.

VMware comes with a support team, and if you have trouble, you can easily create a ticket, and VMware will help you. Therefore, the best aspect is the support. 

It's a good, useful technology. It does help with third-party integration. 

The solution can scale.

It is stable.

Technical support has been okay. 

The most valuable aspects of the solution are its ease of use and its ease of implementation.

The features I find most valuable is the querying and alerting capabilities because it enables us to write enriched alerts that are meaningful for our developers to respond to.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the way you can monitor multiple environments including cloud, hybrid cloud, and private cloud. We also like the way you can do the right sizing.

The monitoring and visibility into public cloud platforms are actually very good. You don't have to manage any infrastructure for the monitoring, as everything is provided for you. On AWS you can monitor everything from S3 to EC2 instances.

The pre-built dashboards are great for incident resolution. They help me to troubleshoot because of the metrics that they provide.
