VMware Tanzu CloudHealth Reviews & Product Details

VMware Aria Cost powered by CloudHealth helps us understand the cloud costs of our customers with a deep drill down to each service, linked account, etc. It also helps us visualize the data using dashboards and view some cost savings recommendations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion, VMware Aria Cost powered by CloudHealth is lacking a central view of cost savings recommendations for many services. Although there are recommendations for commitments and a few others, there is no central location to view all recommendations (for example: EIPs that are not assigned to any instance) and this makes it a bit harder to understand how to save on costs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All of our operations have been streamlined and automated by CloudHealth. We are able to easily create custom policies given the fact that CloudHealth reduces risk and expedites our decision-making process. The detailed and accurate visibility also allows continuous cloud usage monitoring and performance analysis, leading to more precise capacity planning and better resource utilization for our organization. We can simply monitor performance with CloudHealth and compare it to our provisioned capacity, allowing us to maximize asset value." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The inability to personalize the fast bar on the left-hand side to make it simpler to go to sites I usually visit would be my main complaint about the app, if I had to select just one issue. The screen periodically lags for a few seconds, and it has previously stalled on me for a while. I've always had network and performance issues. In fact, it is the most useful tool I have ever used.

I really like the reports that Cloud Health generates and the tables it creates, which provide a very good visual for the trends in cloud usage and helps identify any areas where the cloud usage costs might be excessive. I also appreciate the suggestions that the platform provides for improving resource efficency! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would've loved to see an option for exporting the graphical reports CloudHealth creates as Microsoft Office files. That would've helped tremendously in official meetings/presentations. I also find the notifications icon and settings hard to manipulate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that is helps my organization to optimize costs and to keep budgeting proposals and documentation organized. Additionally it allows for collaboration among colleagues in different departments and provides a shared output goal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I struggle to master the user interface but I think this could be helped through a tutorial or some other way of learning more about how to best use the services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy of use. Easy to configure for custom use cases. Gives visibility into real time costs. This gives overall business process visibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limitations with certain cloud operators

- custom use case tracking like Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very intuitive and easy to use software for data optimization and management. The outputs, graphs, and graphics are super clear, clean and easy to use, which is expected from an application that came out of VMware. Also has meaningful capabilities (some of which I don't even use but know about!) that is great for a variety of organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Connectivity. With other VMware products, I've always had connectivity/speed issues and its the same unfortunate case here as well. Sometimes the screen will lag for a few seconds and have had it freeze on me for a minute or two before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can easily install any light software on this cloud at any instance. it is very reliable and friendly to use. It keeps in account the entire health of VMs on which this agent is installed. Cloud health never bound; instead it allows us to take a look on our VMs such as Disk space and Disk usage. It is an amazing tool about generating infrastructure reports after going through its security feature which detects unwanted and odd circumstance hence allowing us to invent properly about fixing the cause. It helps in easy migration from other clouds to cloud health. It is a very cost effective solution which helps you in publishing budget reporting. Its cloud security system helps us to continue threat detection and their management. It has great automation data accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool is not linked with any other application like Web apps, services Bus or Traffic managers also I really want them to work on PaaS part of cloud. Moreover I have faced some issues in reporting which are complex to manage and run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Really useful to manage the instances that add operational costs

- Makes it easy with management of these cloud instances to identify cost reductions/savings opportunities

- Best part is on the portal where you can check the health as well as VM disk space Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Reporting is not that great. Customizable reports is something Cloudhealth needs to improve

- It’s still not that scalable when deployed in the GCP infrastructure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like CloudHealth for it intuitive user interface and their willingness to listen to their customers with integration feature enhancements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is not really a dislike but request for reporting enhancement. While CloudHealth satisfied our current needs for cost reporting on our AWS account, we find there is need to be able to drill down more into cost of individual resources instead of just at the account level.

- The built-in analytics take away heavy lifting of writing custom code or queries in AWS

- CRI auto exchanger Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Cost

- Does not clear way to enforce governance framework Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
