“VCF Provides Strong Stability and Automation, Yet Patch Upgrades Are Time Intensive”

4.0
May 8, 2026
VCF has been solid for us. The integration of compute, storage, and networking works well out of the box. management through a single console has simplified and sped up deployments. I am impressed with the stability, performance, and its the best private/hybrid cloud platform we have used.

“Product Familiarity Valued but High Pricing and Support Issues Noted”

Cloud Foundation is expensive and can't be tailored to suit our needs. Support is poor. The support site may be getting a little better, but it's poor as well.

    Complete and functional system with expertise, but limited economic accessibility

    May 8, 2026
    We use this product as a global Disaster Recovery site, perfect integration of all VMware products and therefore easy interaction with the On-premise world, it is not a simple product to use, like plug & play, but once you acquire the right skills, it makes it a complete and super efficient system for our purposes.

Deciding Factors: VMware Cloud Foundation Vs. Market Average

VMware Cloud Foundation Likes & Dislikes

Like

I like how its tightly integrated into vsphere, vsan, and NSX. they all work together under one platform. it gives me enterprise grade reliability and automation without lots of complexity under the hood.

Like

This product has all of the features we need to manage our VMWare solution. It's relatively bug free. It's also very familiar to someone who has used VMWare solutions in the past.

Like

Integration with the VMware world, easy transition from On-premise to Cloud.

Automated Translation from Italian
Dislike

Its on the expensive side for sure, especially when scaling out. while powerful, some of the patching and upgrading can be time consuming.

Dislike

The product is extremely expensive. It's also not tailorable at all, meaning you have to buy every single feature there is, even though we don't use many of them. Support is not good and sales is hard to deal with.

Dislike

The sore point is obviously the costs that VMware no longer shows any signs of making accessible to small businesses.
