Cost is a big factor. Clients want a reduced price. Ease of use is definitely there – the VMware interface is user-friendly. But cost is a challenge when convincing clients, especially for large deals. They understand the value proposition of VMware's reliability, and they're willing to pay a premium for it as long as it's guaranteed in writing. Clients signing multi-million dollar deals are primarily concerned with reliability. They're willing to pay a premium for a guaranteed level of reliability that's spelled out in the agreement. If they pay a significant amount and we can't convince them of the solution's reliability, then it won't be a successful implementation.

VMware Cloud Foundation did not integrate smoothly with our networking and security functions, but it runs fine. The solution's automation feature allows us to increase the server's cloud scaling capabilities without having to define them one by one because it is done automatically. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The tool's integration capabilities are slightly complicated, so we use our company's SI partners. Integrations are slightly difficult, as getting resources to deal with it is not that easy. I think the tool's integration features with multiple products are still slightly cumbersome. As VMware has a large stack of tools. At times, we find there are issues because the tools under VMware don't work with each other. In general, I think it is a good product.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Nov 21, 2024

Valuable Features

"We use VMware Cloud Foundation mainly for the virtualization part, and because it's a suite where everything is combined, we have vSphere and vCenter."
"The tool's UI is great."
"The main features are the separation between the management plane and the workload. You can use NSX to provision between the different areas of the network, like west-east or north-south."

Room for Improvement

"After the acquisition, prices have been going up."
"Integrations are slightly difficult, as getting resources to deal with it is not that easy."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."

ROI

Pricing

"The tool's price is slightly on the higher side, but I guess you think there is no one-to-one comparison with other tools. The licensing part has become easier, while earlier, it was quite complex."
"It is quite expensive."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved and made more flexible."
