Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization vs. vCenter Operations Manager (vCOPS), discontinued

Well suited if you are looking to do containers, if you're looking for an easy way to build a container platform, there's so much in it to easily do that. Right now it's not as great as handling VMs with my aforementioned comments about how it can improve. So I would say it's low point right now it's the VMs, but it looks like they're improving. But the high point is always containerization.

If you already have the Enterprise level licensing, you may as well use it as opposed to pay for another third-party plug-in, i.e., SolarWinds.

• Resources allocation estimates are amazing, this feature allowed us to increase density on our hosts by reclaiming RAM and CPU from over allocated VMs letting us increase the amount of VMs per host. The report was very clear and easy to understand.
• The planing feature enabled us to gather all the info we needed to plan hardware purchases as it showed us, with our current rate of deployment, when we would reach capacity in or environment.
• The heat maps provided excellent drill down capabilities allowing for proactively resolving potential issues.

• I think there is room for improvement in Red Hat OpenShift with Scale

• It would be nice to be able to make configuration changes either directly in vCenter Operations Manager or have it link back to the correct locations in vCenter.

Things are clearly marked in the UI. Things do what they do. The UI is snappy and fast, so it can get a bit overwhelming at time with the amount of choices that you have, but they're clearly marked where you need to go, so I'd give it an eight

Support has always been very good with vCenter Operations Manager.

The UI is heads and shoulders above VM Turbo, much clearer and user friendly. I did not like the cost modeling used in that product.

Incentivized

• frequency of releases make complex to measure ROI, however I understand this is an industry standard, not OCP specific

• The over allocation report allowed us to postpone new hardware purchases by 16 months by reclaiming resources.
• Pro activeness to resolve issues with the build in alarms
