What do you like best about the product?
The orchestrator has integration with various products like VMware, powershell, active directory, dns, different hardware platforms and etc. With its large set of actions it lets your devops tem automate many tasks in your environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The clustered setup is far away from perfect. Some plugins are not well designed and do not like clustered setup. VMware support does not know the product quite well and usually the solution is to upgrade or found the by yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating server provisioning tasks and reporting.

vRealize Suit provides network insight

  • November 29, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
vRealize Suit provides real-time insight to the network traffic between the VMs. Querying the tool is super user friendly. If someone has doubt regarding the connectivity between two VMs that should not exists as per the functional requirement, he could query the tool to know the amount of network traffic and the ports between which it is happening. That may reveal some infrastructure level traffic flows which is not an explicit application level functional requirement. This helps deciding whether that flow could be blocked without breaking a working software system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it takes an awful lot of time to return the result of your query.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I worked on a NSX implementation project. Sometimes after implementing an exception rule, end users still complains about connectivity issues. vRealize Suit comes as a great investigating aid that provides the insight of the network traffic.

Proactive Operations Management

  • November 26, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It integrates out of the box with VMware products, and once you deploy it, it starts to collect data, after 1 week you will start to have historical data. The more information it collects the better it predicts and the more accurate the reports become.
There are a lot of predefined reports that fits the majority of the daily operations. Reports and dashboards varies from simple list of VMs and their resource usage, clusters capacity to custom dashboards with external generated data.
As an example you can have scripts collecting information about physical switches availability and upload that information to vRealize Operations using the Text File Adapter, this way you can have a visibility of your full network (virtual and physical)
There is also the option to create interactive dashboards enhancing user experience and providing richer output.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit confusing to manage all of the features that vRealize Operations has to offer.
It has a lot of dashboards already built in that matches the majority of the needs, custom dashboards can be added or extensing existing ones to add further detail, but sometimes it may get a bit confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a tool that was able to gather historical data, generate reports and have monitoring capabilities included.
We have the majority of our alarms being generated from vRealize Operations.
With vSphere 6.7 vRealize Operations can expand the DRS capabilities, by taking smart decisions when moving the vms between clusters, (Predictive DRS).
Having the workloads balanced across an entire data center eliminating hot spots and helps maximizing hardware investment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It can be very expensive, there are cheaper solutions, but may not be easy to integrate if you use mainly VMware products.

My experience with vRealize Suite

  • November 23, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1) Network insight is a very powerful tool for troubleshooting but expensive. It has a 360 view of your entire environment (virtual, physical, public cloud).

2) Operation manager is for Datacenter optimization. It can detect idle or powered off VMs so resources can be claimed, it can rightsize a VM (add/remove resources), it can balance your clusters based on technical/business intents, it can do capacity planning and so much more.

vRealize Automation will provide end users with a selfservice portal so they can deploy applications way faster and without talking with anyone.

Log insight and vRealize business are not my favs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The vRealize suite can be expensive. It’s vSphere centric but that does not mean it can be extensible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network insight for troubleshooting physical network and virtual network using NSX. vRA to provide self service portal to end users. vROPS as the main tool for Datacenter operators.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
vRealize makes sense when you have the whole suite not individual products.

vRealize Automation Review

  • November 19, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy vRealize is to setup in the environment. It used to be much more complicated back in the day but now with the use of a scripted appliance deployment, this is a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that vRealize has not matured into more specific VM related metrics. For example, we need vRealize to be able to help diagnose and troubleshoot Linked Clone metrics like, login times, application launch times, profile management and group policy loading time. We have had to look for third party software to help in this area.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
vRealize helps us have a better outlook/view into our VM Environment from a provisioning and health perspective.

Fantastic Monitoring Tool!

  • October 04, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Wavefront offers an extensive catalog of monitoring tools for all sorts of resources and metrics. It includes integrations into tons of well known application and application providers, and allows a lot of custom hooks to track pretty much anything you can think of.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a big complicated to really set up certain things, but so is what's being monitored, so it's not a major gripe.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We host a number of clouds and infrastructures for customers, so we're using Wavefront to both internally monitor our own clouds, but also to provide customers with the abilities to monitor what we host for them as well.

What do you dislike about the product?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cloud storage performs, my company uses it. rich user-friendly environment to deploy the application in the cloud and maintain it one place, without relay on third-party applications
Recommendations to others considering the product:
need to decrease pricing and improve a lot of features which are lagging
