    Cloud Elements shines when you want to offer multiple options to the user on a type of system, such as supporting integration to CRM and wanting to offer Dynamics, Salesforce, and HubSpot on equal footing. If you only have a single integration with a single system, using Cloud Elements adds an unnecessary layer of abstraction.

    It is most suited where there multi cloud platform as VCloud suite provides most 2 important licences i.e. Vsphere 9India's leading hypervisor) and Vrealize Suite which helps to automate and also simplies IT management by making the solution most agile, efficient and easy to use. If there is a simple environment with just few servers where there is need for only 2-3 VMs, i will not recommend this.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • The API itself is very robust and easy to use, being a standard REST interface, standard HTTP response codes, well-packaged error messages, etc.
    • Their uptime is great! I think I've seen one (short) 5-minute' blip' the entire time we've been connected for any type of primary function.
    • Their support is top notch, they respond quickly, and the team that works with you is communicative and knowledgable.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • The only thing I can think of that they could improve is the quality of the assets they produce in the go-to-market process. This is a huge value add service, but the quality of what was produced was lower than what we would have produced internally. We spent more time going back and forth on the assets than it would have taken us to build them from scratch.

    • There is nothing exactly like cons but one must should check all the features, it can be confusing at the times.
    • It can be expensive as compared to some other products available in the market.
    • Implementation can be little tricky, should done by Vmware engineer

    At the time we found Cloud Elements we found no other option that had a Unified API for cloud storage providers.

    VCloud mostly provides cloud management platform, all others also provide the same plus some other features so, Vcloud can be little less expensive in comparison to other solutions available in market. Also, it's very easy to use and deploy and manage your cloud platform. It is widely used by mid scale as well as large scale companies.

    • Positive only- Vrealize suite helps is IT automation by making it cost-effective and efficient.
    • Less time is consumed by our IT administrators because of Automating process and they can do better monitoring
    • It can be really cost effective for if any company wants to make private cloud. It did the same with us as through vCloud we get all the VMware software required.
