What do you like best about VMware Cloud Director?

vCloud is backed by VMWare, the company that brings the gold standard for virtualization that most all companies utilize in their data centers. vCloud takes the experience and knowledge of VMWare one step further and provides a platform familiar to companies in order to extend their infrastructure to the cloud with minimal configuration.

As with any hosting platform one pays a premium for the VMWare name, especially when it comes to scaling out virtual machines and resources in the cloud. Pay careful attention to pricing on network bandwidth and storage to ensure the cost of vCloud is in fact cheaper than hosting your own infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VMware Cloud Director solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about VMware Cloud Director?

Personally, I like the concept of vCloud. In theory, its low-hanging fruit for existing customers wanting to build a hybrid cloud. Also vCloud offers simpler GUI layered on top for less expert users and the pricing is also surprisingly attractive. vCloud also offers the easiness to move an existing VMware setup into the vCloud. Tech Support was excellent when I needed it. They pretty helpful and fast response to help me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware Cloud Director?

the limitation of vCloud is that I can't define anti-affinity rules. Beside that vCloud is amazing and the pricing is reasonable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VMware Cloud Director:

using vCloud requires no changing your procedures, no converting your applications, no rewriting the entire thing from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VMware Cloud Director solving and how is that benefiting you?

the disaster recovery and the data backup save me from the trouble. It also what originally promised to be: accessing to a seemingly unlimited pool of resources upon which you can run your own workloads Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
