The product handles data security and compliance, and we have had some convenience there because we worked with one of our clients who uses the cloud, and they have been comfortable with the security, at least because they're using some ports to transfer data, and it is good for now in the cloud. On the on-premises part, we haven't seen any progress in terms of security. Considering the price of the product, I would not recommend the solution to others. The product is really good, but the price is not. Though my company uses the tool on the cloud and on-premises, we don't use AI. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.
The solution's administration is done by us, but Dell does its maintenance. The solution's administration is easy. VMware is more widely adopted, and we have many professionals who are skilled in VMware environments. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
I would suggest to anyone considering purchasing the solution that it's important to validate your requirements first, whether you actually need it or not, before purchasing. In addition, the product can be better optimized. In the first instance, we paid more than we should have because we didn't know enough, but in subsequent projects we designed it differently, it was a better product, and we were able to save a lot of fees. You have to actually spend time customizing the solution based on your need and then it becomes more cost-effective and a more valuable solution, I would rate this product an eight out of 10.

VMware is better for those who don't have much experience with such tools because the locally available resources are enough to handle the solution. I think the product requires an OEM approach, purchase the hardware, software, and service from one source. The footprint of the hardware vendor should be established in the country and you need to have a very good partner in place to handle the hardware requests. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

The product is user-friendly from an administrative standpoint and very easy to use. On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this VMware product as a seven out of ten. It is a seven and not an eight or nine because of the points which should be improved in the future like performance or added dashboard options and adding executive-level reporting and flexibility.
