VMware Cloud Foundation Automation Likes & Dislikes

Like

The biggest strength is the combination of speed, reliability & governance - it feels like having the agility of a public cloud, but the control & security of an enterprise-grade private cloud.

Like

The best thing about this tool is that it allows unified and automated content, reducing manual work leading to efficiency and increasing agility and productivity.

Like

The platform brings together infrastructure provisioning, policy enforcement and lifecycle management in one unified solution

Dislike

While the platform delivers excellent automation & scalability once it's running, the entry barrier in terms of cost & expertise is what I dislike the most.

Dislike

It is very hard to integrate and requires core knowledge of the system. It's not the best tool when it comes to upgrades.

Dislike

some of the advanced automation policies requires a bit of fine tuning during setup
