There are many features available in the product that we don't use in our company. In the future, when we explore the rest of the features of the product in our company, we will use them if we find them to be feasible enough to be implemented in our environment, especially if such features revolve around the areas of AI, cloud, and automation. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it since it provides a lot of feasible features for any environment. I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

I rate vCenter Orchestrator an eight out of ten. If you have only VMware cloud, then vCenter Orchestrator is the right fit for your business requirements. You should look for other compatible tools if you have a heterogeneous environment, including public clouds like OpenStack or OpenShift.
My recommendation for those starting with vCenter is that once the automatic installation is complete, the graphical user interface is user-friendly and easy to use. Overall, I would rate vCenter a seven out of ten.

The product is intuitive enough. It might be a learning curve for someone new to vCenter Orchestrator. I don't have much to share with those planning to use vCenter Orchestrator from a recommendation perspective because we are not into that kind of role where we recommend. Most of our customers already have the product, or they are in the middle of a big phase of the tool's implementation, because of which they come into our company for training. I find the tool to be quite okay. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I use the latest version of vCenter Orchestrator. I would recommend vCenter Orchestrator to other users. You have to understand beforehand what kind of processes you want to orchestrate and automate with it. If you think about what you'll do with it before you install it, you'll have a better view of how to implement it in the best way. Overall, I rate vCenter Orchestrator an eight out of ten.

I'm working with VMware products, such as vSphere, vCenter Orchestrator, and vRealize Operations Manager. My colleagues develop workflows. I'm not into vCenter Orchestrator development. My company is a cloud provider. I don't know how many people use vCenter Orchestrator within the organization. Still, it has a few thousand employees, with ten people in the development team I'm part of, so I'd say approximately a thousand employees could be using the product. I would recommend vCenter Orchestrator, but the learning curve is rather high. It's not an easy tool to use for development, so you have to get to know it first. One area for improvement in vCenter Orchestrator is that it lacks good courses, tutorials, or training centers. What you'll find is very basic, and if you want more advanced training, you won't find one, so within my team, you have to learn it yourself, get experience, and find out how vCenter Orchestrator works. My rating for the tool is eight out of ten because it needs more training resources and advanced courses, and VMware should provide training.

I am an integrator. I'm using multiple versions, including versions five, six, and seven. It's a perfect solution. I'd rate it eight out of ten. I'm worried about the potential for being targeted by this new ransomware.
I rate vCenter Orchestrator nine out of 10. It's a great solution that can help any starting company that needs to provide vCloud to their customers. It's scalable, stable, technical, and responsive. If you're deploying vCenter, you need to understand the infrastructure.
I would rate this solution 9 out of 10. VMware has been doing a lot of investment and acquisition in all the possible domains in terms of securities, etc. It's not a 10 because of the lack of imparting knowledge to customers. For a new customer, I always say that whatever environment you have, you should have an understanding with VMware to have free advising and consulting so that you'll have the right products. With a third party vendor, they try to make a maximum sale and include products that are sometimes not required.
I am looking to expand our operation. However, approximately two years ago I was searching for a flexible solution and I came to the hyper-converged solution. I was doing some comparisons, but as it was very expensive to replace our current environment. I'm searching for a solution to somehow expand our environment or do another environment parallel to our current one. I would advise others to try solutions, such as Hyper-V. I have tried it in a test environment and I think it is very promising and it is easy to use. However, VMware is very powerful, stable, and very reliable, but I advise them to try Hyper-V and VMware. I rate vCenter Orchestrator a nine out of ten.
We provide services to customers. However, we are users of the product. I don't know of any better VM environment. I would rate this solution at a nine out of ten. We've been very happy with its capabilities so far.

My advice for anybody who is considering vCenter Orchestrator is to first collect all of their requirements or the requirements of the client. These are the basic steps and once everything is understood, the products can be properly selected. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

My advice is that Orchestrator will ease your life in your tasks. Once you teach yourself this product, it will make difficult jobs relatively easy. It is a good solution, but it needs the capability of bulk deployment. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

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.
I definitely recommend this solution. As a whole, it is quite good. It is difficult to pick a single aspect that I would recommend. You have to use the whole thing. From what I have been told, the newer versions have already addressed some of the issues that we have identified. We are planning on upgrading to the most recent version, and I am waiting to see what the differences are. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
We're using the on-premise deployment model. It's a great solution and it's great to work with as well. Anything coming from VMware is pretty much top-notch, but, of course, you still have to look at the licensing requirements before you sign on to the solution. It should be a case of functionality versus budget in terms of if it will work for your organization. I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

I rate this solution a nine out of 10 because of its simplicity, scalability, and availability. The one ding would be the need for better manageability of VM sprawl, that would be nice. In terms of advice, I would tell people that this is VMware's only business, or primary business. That's longevity in your investment, as opposed to going with a Microsoft or a Linux that may or may not continue the solution.
VMware vCenter Orchestrator simplifies the automation of complex IT tasks and integrates with VMware vCloud Suite components to adapt and extend service delivery and operational management, effectively working with existing infrastructure, tools and processes.
