Use Cases and Deployment Scope

vCenter Operations Manager is used by our Infrastructure team to monitor our four vCenter environments for configuration issues and performance problems. It gives us a general health overview and allows us to locate problems quickly and easily.

Pros and Cons

Easy to view Health Dashboard.
Easy to configure and implement.
Easy to quickly locate issues that need to be corrected or future performance issues through trending.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Return on Investment

+Helped us identify a performance issue where our cluster was under-sized. We were able to order new hosts to bring performance in-line with expectations.
+Saved us from purchasing a third-party monitoring tool.
No negative impact.

Alternatives Considered

SolarWinds Virtualization Manager

SolarWinds as an overall tool is much more flexible. It allows you to perform tasks based on events, whereas the vCenter Operations Manager monitors your environment. SolarWinds costs more.

Support Rating

10

Support has always been very good with vCenter Operations Manager.

Other Software Used

SolarWinds Netflow Traffic Analyzer, SolarWinds Log Analyzer, SolarWinds IP Address Manager

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use VCOPS for health monitoring, provisioning of resources and capacity planning.

Pros and Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Capacity planing is great, and heat map analysis is phenomenal with its drill-down capabilities and versatility

Return on Investment

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
