Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The Google Anthos feature I find the most valuable is the easy of use. In Google Anthos, you don't need to move along too many screens and so on. The interface is really helpful and understanding of the tool comes easily."

More Google Anthos Pros →

"The product enables flexibility in network structures.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the disaster recovery software.""The most valuable features in VMware Cloud Foundation are life cycle management and ease of use.""VMware Cloud Foundation's most valuable features are password and certificate management. The SDDC manager tool is the front tool we are using to manage the entire VCF stack. In the SDDC manager, we can able to rotate, and update the passwords of all users. Anything in the VMware portfolio, we can manage from a single dashboard and we have various data centers. We have connected everything into one Federation. From one single place, we are managing our entire virtual interactions.""They have in release 4.0 features from vSphere and Cloud Suite. It's a complete data center.""We are using it for infrastructure automation.""The most valuable feature is the ease of migrating from on-premises infrastructure when transitioning away from older systems.""The solution is very stable."

Cons
"The initial Google Anthos setup is not easy. Nothing is truly easy in the Google Anthos world."

More Google Anthos Cons →

"The solution is quite expensive.""The solution could improve by being more secure.""Working on features that could include the capability to migrate workflows from non-VMware environments would be highly beneficial.""The price could be better. VMware Cloud Foundation is overpriced, but I think we get what we pay for. It would be better if it were cheaper because it would be easier to go to customers and get them to buy it. We'd get more projects, and that would be great.""We would like the ability to write to both sites at the same time, in a synchronous fashion.""The deployment is clumsy and complex. There are too many things that need to be done in order to deploy.""In the early adoption of VMware Cloud Foundation, we have seen minor problems. For example, in our Federation, I see the single pane of glass where we need to manage everything, which is good. However, internally, we have a Kafka database that is distributed by the database used by the SDDC manager. During the distribution and synchronization, there is some issue and we need to stop the process.""The interface is good, but there are compatibility issues or issues with the certificate for the VCenter."
