We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards.""We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features.""This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician.""We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations.""The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds.""The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations""It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast.""The solution is good for cloud cost management."

"The product provides excellent daily reports.""The tool helps us to monitor the services provided to customers as a cloud provider. The product is a monitoring solution that helps customers pay for their utilization of services.""It doesn't take long to develop an automation blueprint. You need about half an hour, and then you can install or deploy it on several systems. That was our first great advantage in the project because we urgently needed to deploy across many different systems.""The most valuable feature is the metering capability.""The way the dashboard works with the main orchestrator to combine different types of cloud providers is helpful.""I like the integration with other applications or vendors.""The flexibility is the product's most valuable feature.""This solution has made us aware that we are over-provisioning our virtual machines."

Cons
"I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation.""It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office.""CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level.""The solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones.""If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information.""They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size.""The Perspectives feature could be better.""The performance and accuracy of Cloud Health need to be improved."

"The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved.""If you haven't established a vSphere cluster and you only have a single server to integrate, you can't deploy any service.""It would be a good idea for VMware to be compatible with the most popular orchestration tools in the market.""I would like it if they could provide their customers with more qualified support.""I would like to have an easy way of modifying the reference data that is used for the purposes of estimating the total billing.""The pricing model is complicated and would be more predictable if it were simplified.""It's not always easy to find the information you need. You must have a lot of technical experience to find the right location for what you're implementing within the program.""Better integration with other VMware toolsets would be beneficial."
