Provides a multi-tenant platform

Pros and Cons

"The deployment is easy."

"It would be nice to see some new features in respect of the GUI."

What is our primary use case?

We have our own hardware. We have built a cloud platform using VMware vCloud Director and resell to customers.

We provide Infrastructure as a Service to our clients.

What is most valuable?

A most valuable feature of the solution is that it provides a multi-tenant platform.

What needs improvement?

It would be nice to see some new features in respect of the GUI.

For how long have I used the solution?

I am currently using vCloud Director.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is at a moderate level.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

In the past, I evaluated multiple products, such as CloudBolt.

We decided to go with vCloud Director because of its onApp features. Other products are totally different. CloudBolt will be integrated with the VMware vCenter, a license being needed for VMWare, as well.

Another reason we did not go with the alternative is because it is not a multi-tenant platform.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment is easy.

What about the implementation team?

The solution can be deployed by a single person, no problem whatsoever.

What was our ROI?

We have seen a return on our investment.

What other advice do I have?

We are a cloud service provider. We are integrators and provide cloud services using VMware vCloud Director.

I don't have any particular advice for those planning to implement the solution.

I rate vCloud Director as an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
