Pivotal Cloud Foundry Reviews

The primary use case of this solution is to deploy internal applications to the cloud.

The most valuable features are the monitoring and that the deployment is easier.

Having support for other integrated tools, such as Kubernetes, would be useful.

The interface is okay, but it's not that advanced. It could be improved.

The initial setup could be simplified.

In the next release, I would like to see easy integration with external tools. For example, it should be easy to integrate with Kubernetes.

It would also be helpful to have a notification for when you are using other applications that require specific hardware. For example, when you are running your application, to have it say that it should be running on this port for the node on the cloud.

I have been using Pivotal Cloud Foundry for more than two years.

We are using the latest version.

It's a stable product.

Pivotal Cloud Foundry is scalable.  

We have approximately three users using this solution in our organization.

The technical support was helpful.

The initial setup was not easy, it was a bit complex.

We did not use a vendor team. The implementation was completed in-house.

Another department handles this. I don't have any knowledge of pricing and licenses.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Pivotal Cloud Foundry an eight out of ten.

We have 1,000 people using Pivotal across the organization. We are a bank, and therefore a customer of the product.

PCF is open, so the applications run really smoothly and with little downtime.

It is not straightforward to setup.

We have been using Pivotal Cloud Foundry for six months. I am a Senior Technology Specialist.

Scalability is terrible. So far we have not been able to scale it up.

I have had no direct contact with technical support, and therefore I can't comment on this.

The setup is not straightforward in PCF, there's a lot of configuration. It takes a lot of time to connect to third-party applications and it is a complex process.

We implemented the product in-house.

I would recommend the product to other users, and I would rate it 8 out of 10.

We are using Pivotal Cloud Foundry for a banking solution.

The most valuable feature of Pivotal Cloud Foundry is auto-healing and the plenty of other features that are provided.

Pivotal Cloud Foundry could improve on the technology it is a bit complex.

I have been using Pivotal Cloud Foundry for approximately two years.

The stability of Pivotal Cloud Foundry is good.

Our entire team is using Pivotal Cloud Foundry which is part of EMC.

Pivotal Cloud Foundry is scalable.

The support from Pivotal Cloud Foundry is good, they are responsive.

The initial setup of Pivotal Cloud Foundry is complicated. However, we made it easy by automating it. It took us approximately one week to complete.

The price of Pivotal Cloud Foundry could improve. However, in this category of solutions, they are all expensive.

Pivotal Cloud Foundry is a good solution and if their budget allows it, they should use it.

I rate Pivotal Cloud Foundry an eight out of ten.

We are a solution provider the Pivotal Cloud Foundry is one of the products that we implement for our clients. We help our clients choose solutions that fit their requirements and then we assist with implementation.

People like Pivotal Cloud Foundry because it is open-source and it is a cloud-based application.

The user interface should be simpler to navigate because it t can take time for users to learn it. They can refer to the documentation and YouTube videos, but the navigation is still a concern.

It would be great if the setup and deployment were easier to do.

I would like to see the vendor create hands-on labs that help to give the user experience with the look and feel of the software. This would help them to better navigate the interface when it comes to configuration, management, integrating it with different cloud platforms, and using it.

We have been working with Pivotal Cloud Foundry for about one year.

Stability is not a concern with this product. It is pretty much stable.

This solution is scalable. It is suitable for companies of varying sizes and requirements.

Our company and team have a great deal of experience, so we do not have to contact support.

The initial setup is a little complex compared to other products.

Many of our deployments are hybrid because our clients do not want to lose their existing infrastructure. On average, it takes one and a half to two hours to deploy, depending on how much troubleshooting we have to do.

We deploy this solution for our clients and sometimes we also manage it.

When we are working with our clients, we start with gathering the requirements and then create a proof of concept. Because we are meeting the requirements, our clients do not complain about this solution.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to first go through the documentation or do a hands-on lab to learn about the product.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for deploying web applications manually and connecting with databases.

The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to scale. The services that connect to the database are also very good.

In the next release, they should offer additional applications for the databases, and improve the deployment experience. 

They should offer more information to consultants in the form of tips and other details to help them better understand the product.

The solution is stable. Sometimes it shows some downtime, but I'm relatively satisfied.

The scalability is excellent. It's very important to us. Right now, we aren't using the solution too much, but in the coming months, we do plan to increase usage.

We haven't needed to contact technical support at all.

I have experience with and have used other solutions in the past.

The initial setup was very easy. Deployment takes maybe half a day.

I handled the implementation myself.

I haven't seen an ROI yet, but I haven't invested a lot of time into the solution yet either.

Licensing is on a monthly basis and right now we pay $24/month. There are no other costs over and above that.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

The main use case of the solution is to deploy and manage applications across different environments.

It provides a set of developer-friendly tools that simplify application deployment.

It should offer more security features.

I have been using it for the last three years. 

It provides great stability.  

It is a scalable solution. 

The initial setup was straightforward. 

The deployment process was done fast. It took about forty minutes to have it finalized. 

Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

Our primary use case for this solution is hosting microservices on the cloud platform and connecting it to the UCD to perform deployments in the CMP portals.

We find its stability and scalability valuable.

An easier way to switch between data centres can be included in the next release. We have no active-active scenario, but at some endpoints, we have to shut down first and then only run the application on BCP. In that situation, we see a switch available, but it is a little tricky for new members. Additionally, there are no synthetic application monitoring and real-time monitoring features and they should be included.

We have been using Pivotal Cloud Foundry for approximately two years.

The solution is stable. We have not experienced any infrastructure issues, so it is very good and captures a few metrics, onboarding to App Dynamics. From App Dynamics, we were able to create some meaningful dashboards.

The solution is scalable, but we have challenges switching between data centres. Currently, over 500 users are utilizing the solution.

We do not have experience with customer service and support.

The initial setup is straightforward, and it provided a good integration with Venafi. I rate it eight out of ten.
