VMware Cloud Foundation Reviews

We use the solution for automated deployment and infrastructure maintenance features.

The solution's most valuable feature is automatic configuration and password management.

They should integrate the solution with Azure VMware Solution within the SDDC manager.

I have been using the solution for three and a half years.

The solution is very stable. It releases updates at regular intervals. Our customers are still running the VCF environment we deployed three years ago. 

The solution is scalable. We can deploy it to any architecture size.

We contacted the solution's technical support team when we encountered errors while deploying one of its versions. Their services are good, but sometimes the ticket takes time to process.

Positive

The solution's deployment generally takes several months because of design discussions. It requires one data engineer, one networking engineer, and a few executives from the vendor's technical support team to execute the process. Also, from an operational perspective, it requires two to three executives to maintain it.

I advise others not to keep a limited design approach toward the solution. They shouldn't just deploy it to manage Microsoft virtualization alone. It supports various solutions, including NXP, for automatic functioning.

I rate it a nine out of ten.

VMware Cloud Foundation can be used to make private clouds faster than the traditional way. Additionally, it can be used for continuity. If you want to run with Tanzu, you can build a full-stack environment of VMware, such as vSphere, or NSX.

You can use VMware Cloud Foundation with hyper-converge.

The solution could improve by being more secure.

I have been using VMware Cloud Foundation for approximately one year.

The solution is stable.

VMware Cloud Foundation is scalable.

In Egypt, we have four customers.

The technical support could improve by being faster.

The installation is straightforward and takes approximately four hours.

Our team did the implementation of the solution. We have a team of two that does the process. You need one person to compute the nodes and one from the network team to set up the networks.

There is an annual license required to use the solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate VMware Cloud Foundation a nine out of ten.

We are service providers and therefore we only sell this program to our customers. So we don't use it ourselves. Our customers use it for all kinds of purposes like VDI environments, private clouds, connection to public clouds, office automation purposes and applications running on top of this. They use it to consolidate their environment of servers and it provides them a migration path towards cloud environment or private cloud environments.

Because I don't use the program myself, I can't answer this.

Perhaps the pricing can be more competitive.

I have been working on VMware Cloud Foundation for four to five years.

The initial setup is straightforward and easy. It's not so complex that you need to have experience with it.

I believe it is a good product and our customers are satisfied with it, so I will rate it a seven out of ten. 

The mission aspect of the solution is the most valuable feature.

Typically, the ABA in comparison to other products needs improvement, but it depends on the customer.

They need to offer more support for Mac.

I would like to have IT virtualization options similar to a Raspberry PI, if that's possible.

The solution is very stable.

I believe the solution is scalable. We haven't had any problems with scalability yet.

I've only used technical support a few times and they usually get back to me within the same day or the next day if it's a difficult issue. However, I haven't used technical support in a few years. I've mostly focused on utilizing more of their professional services for guidance related to configuration examples.

The initial setup is straightforward. Usually there are a few conflicts. You're typically always adapting an old infrastructure.

The pricing is expensive, but you pay for what you get. The price ultimately could be more competitive in my opinion.

We use various deployment models; it's dependant on the client. We're a VMware partner.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
