Flexible and a good solution for user with different environments
The setup was generally easy. The most complex aspect was configuring the VPN. While not overly difficult, it was more challenging compared to setting up other VPNs. However, once we resolved the initial VPN configuration issue, everything has been smooth sailing. It's a matter of familiarity. Initially, the technology is unfamiliar, but with experience, configuration becomes easier. Deployment time: We didn't have any problems. We determined the implementation date, considered the transition for ourselves and our users, and it went smoothly. Maintenance: There isn't much required. If the stability, resolution, and capacity planning are correct for our needs, or if we need to expand storage, then maintenance is mostly handled by our banking team.

Centralized dashboards have optimized multi-cloud costs and improved financial governance
VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is a powerful cloud management platform, but there are areas for improvement. I would prefer to see more AI-driven insights that not only recommend optimization but also suggest automated remediation actions. Real-time cost synchronization could be faster, as billing data sometimes has delays. More customized dashboards and report templates would help teams tailor their needs better. Kubernetes cost visibility could be more granular for centralized workloads. Integration with ITSM and automation tools such as ServiceNow and Ansible could be enhanced. Simplifying initial onboarding and policy configuration would also improve the experience for new users. These enhancements would make the platform even more efficient for enterprise cloud operations. This tool is a mature and relevant cloud management platform with several areas that could be enhanced. I would prefer to see more advanced AI capabilities providing predictive insights and automated remediation for common optimization tasks. Better, faster synchronization of cloud billing and utilization data would enable near real-time cost monitoring. I want more customizable dashboards and executive reports tailored for different stakeholders such as FinOps, infrastructure, and management teams. Improving Kubernetes container cost visibility at the pod level is also necessary. I would prefer to see stronger AI-driven automation, faster real-time cost updates, more customizable dashboards, deeper Kubernetes cost visibility, enhanced DevOps integrations, and a simpler onboarding process as areas needing improvement. These enhancements would further increase operational efficiency and make the platform more valuable for enterprise cloud management.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup is very easy."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Savings Plans is we can discuss budgets briefly during our confirmation process since we are aware of our usual consumption patterns. Creating budgets in this regard would be beneficial, as it would allow us to consume only what we need, without including reserve instances that do not serve our purpose."
"It's a no-brainer, basically, it does all the work for you and gives you the optimum solution you have to accommodate your company even within future variabilities and changes you may do."
"AWS is consistently innovating and releasing new products and features."
"Customers do utilize a security and compliance framework with VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth because larger institutions won't move forward without it, and they choose VMware to ensure a tested and foolproof secure environment that complies with regulatory standards such as VMware Cloud Foundation with its trust policies, making it quite good."
"We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations."
"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards."
"VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth has positively impacted my organization by optimizing cloud costs and helping platform teams make data-driven decisions while ensuring compliance."
"VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is a very good product, it helps me to improve the management and the overview of the cloud loads and it fulfills all my needs."
"We have some experience with RackWare and Red Hat, and right now I believe this solution to be number one in the market."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations."
"We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features."
 

Cons

"In the future, it would be interesting if there could be a combination of Savings Plans and some Reserved Servers."
"The most complex aspect was configuring the VPN."
"The visibility of AWS Savings Plans could improve."
"VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth can improve by introducing real-time cost visibility and alerting so that we can better act on that."
"The problem is how the new company decided to package the products and destroy all the old VMWare ecosystem that they had for partners and for all the tools that the partners had."
"The solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones."
"CloudHealth doesn't have that capability; they can't reach down to that level right now."
"Apptio Cloudability has better granular visibility of data that is missing in CloudHealth."
"Real-time cost synchronization could be faster, as billing data sometimes has delays."
"When you start to virtualize things it gets very expensive."
"I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create an easier setup and implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to Azure or Google, the solution is much cheaper."
"CloudHealth has a subscription-based model."
"The licensing fees depend on how big the company is. If you are a larger company then you have a better contract with a better price. The price is different for a small company."
"I give the cost of the solution an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is competitive and while other products are good they are considerably more expensive."
"There could be flexibility in pricing for the product."
