Overall Satisfaction with vCenter Operations Manager

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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • +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.
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 has always been very good with vCenter Operations Manager.
