Enables us to do administration on a centralized layer when using multiple VMware ESX servers

Pros

"If I need to do DR, VMware can enable me to use vMotion, which requires use of vCenter. You cannot do vMotion without vCenter. We do a lot of automation, orchestration, and simplification for that purpose. "

Cons

"Many times, customers' licenses are not used because the client is not aware of the features and the product benefits. When somebody is buying a product, they just do a default configuration."

Streamlined centralized management and robust with automation capabilities

Pros

"I find that managing all my vCenters from one console is the most valuable feature. "

Cons

"The only point for improvement is the price, which has increased by 135%, making it very expensive."

A tool that is simple to use that needs to remove its licensing charges

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase was easy. "

Cons

"I believe vCenter Orchestrator should be part of VMware vSphere's basic bundle. As a product, vCenter Orchestrator should not be licensed at all because the world has progressed way beyond what it can offer."
