"One of the major problems is that support is not so good."
"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
"The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."
"Sometimes, there is a disconnection that happens between vCloud Director and its underlying VMware vCenter, where the actions are supposed to be taking place, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Database services need to go beyond what they are currently doing."
"The reason we moved to Microsoft Intune was because of the license cost of VMware. It's very expensive."
"Initially, the setup was complex."
"The initial setup of the vCloud Director was not complex and not easy, it was in the middle range of difficulty. It could be made easier."
"Lacks integration with the hyperscalers."
"vCloud Director should improve by having support with other cloud providers, such as Microsoft Azure and Google cloud."
