Likelihood to Recommend	edgeContinuum No answers on this topic	VMware by Broadcom It is best suited for an on-premise cloud solution where customer can shift their entire production environment. Also, the customer has a preference for a Homogenous Infrastructure Environment where budget is not a challenge. It is not at all suited for a Heterogenous Environment, e.g., a Public cloud where integration becomes a huge issue, also in SMB sections where budget is challenging.

Pros	edgeContinuum No answers on this topic	VMware by Broadcom Cloud enabled Solution. Support Container based Apps. Cost efficient. Supports both Public and Private Environments. Incentivized Sudipta Banerjee Product Manager Read full review
Cons	edgeContinuum No answers on this topic	VMware by Broadcom The Deployment is complex. Recommended Number of Physical Nodes is three or more; with less than 3 Nodes, it becomes difficult to install V-SAN. Need for better integration. If we go on the public cloud, it is a huge challenge while integrate with an open source platform. Cost can be marginally reduced. SMB segments still prefer a separate license instead of VCF, or they postpone their purchase plans. Incentivized Sudipta Banerjee Product Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	edgeContinuum No answers on this topic	VMware by Broadcom Although the public Cloud Model follows Opex Costing Model, it actually leads to very high costs also, the infra model in my organization is not suited for a Public Cloud Model. Hence We decided on an On-Premise Model, and the best suited was VMware Cloud Foundation, which is a complete Software-Defined Scale-Out Architecture. I also prefer a Homogenous environment; i.e, support and services from a Single OEM, so that I Can get faster resolutions to my tickets raised.

Return on Investment	edgeContinuum No answers on this topic	VMware by Broadcom My organization has a size of 1300+ employees, using multiple applications and an exchange mail server that is hosted on On-Premise Cloud, hence scalability has not been a challenge. Having hosted my Production environment and Mail exchange Server on VCF, there has been optimum resource utilization with very little scope downtime. Hence have been able to save a lot of funds on Hardware resources. Due to the size of my organization and due the data load, I have been able to save on Resource Utilization and Organization Funds Incentivized Sudipta Banerjee Product Manager Read full review
