It has good stability, but the report-generating feature needs improvement

Has good integration and plugins, a fresh UI, and allows you to build custom dashboards, but needs more work in the ITSM space

Pros

"What I like most about VMware vRealize Operations (vROps) is how it integrates into the vCenter. You'll get a similar hierarchical view of your host, your VMs, your resource pools, etc. I also like the granularity, particularly the fact that you could go pretty deep into the metrics and data retention as well. You could go far back several months to try and plot performance trends, eventually leading up to an issue or post-incident management. I also like the plugins in VMware vRealize Operations (vROps). I find the plugins good, especially because you could plug those into Dell. For example, there was a way to visualize how your Dell infrastructure is performing. You could build dashboards, even custom dashboards for your operational teams. You could take a look at what was going on and also look into people doing incident management, troubleshooting, etc. You could customize your experience with VMware vRealize Operations (vROps), and I found that good as well. I also like the UI of VMware vRealize Operations (vROps) because it's nice and very, very fresh."

Cons

"In terms of what could be improved or added to VMware vRealize Operations (vROps), from my experience, it needs more work in the ITSM space because my company never used it as an IT service management tool."

Enhancing operational insights with predictive analytics and customizable dashboards

Pros

"One of the most valuable features is the ability to perform 'what-if' scenarios."

Cons

"I can't pinpoint any specific areas for improvement at the moment, though there is always room for better pricing, licensing options, and potential enhancements in the user interface or customization."

A data-driven solution that offers capacity planning and infrastructure monitoring features

Pros

"VMware Aria Operations is the leading industrial solution for monitoring VMware infrastructure stacks. It has evolved to provide more insights into customer capacity planning and has become more data-driven. The level of monitoring and the granularity it offers are unmatched by any other product in the infrastructure management market. "

Cons

"Every product has room for improvement, no matter how good it is. For VMware Aria Operations, I think the main area for improvement is its integration with other cloud vendors, like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The integration process is quite complex and often requires VMware personnel's involvement, which isn't always a great experience. So, integration with hyper scalers would be a key improvement. "
