Great for an all in experience, but Hybrid is difficult **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2016 **What do you like best about VMware Cloud Director?** Integration with other VMWare components such as VCenter. **What do you dislike about VMware Cloud Director?** Connectivity to the data centers used was limited to VPN in our case because there wasn't a Direct Connect partner we could use. Backups were horrendous, and failed on very large jobs consistentlyi. **Recommendations to others considering VMware Cloud Director:** You really need to be all in or all out with this solution. A Hybrid setup is still too difficult for companies with a bulk of legacy applications. Backups, although you do have backups, aren't very feature rich. **What problems is VMware Cloud Director solving and how is that benefiting you?** None at this point because we had to discontinue use of the product. ### 3. Functional! **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Broadcast Media | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 11, 2016 **What do you like best about VMware Cloud Director?** Awesome cloud based computing service. Very similar UI to VSphere which makes it easy to transition and learn from. It's navigation is easy to understand coming from the VMWare line of products. Also, I like the $300 credit for signing up is nice. Allowed me to run a small VM for 2 weeks. Perfect for the hybrid entry experience we were looking for. **What do you dislike about VMware Cloud Director?** There's a lot of display bugs that get in the way of initializing the product. Reloading or moving tabs sometimes eliminates the bugs. It's very quirky. I had difficulty uploading an iso and in addition to some browser quirks, it just feels really buggy. However, it's really tough to use this product because of glaring interface issues. Even when you do get past the UI, sometimes the functionality doesn't work, which defeats the purpose of using ANY product. ## VMware Cloud Director Discussions - [What is VMware Cloud Director used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-vmware-cloud-director-used-for) - [View VMware Cloud Director pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/vmware-cloud-director/reviews?filters%5Bnps_score%5D%5B%5D=3§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-08-12+11%3A30%3A36+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=0ef252fa-43ad-449c-9719-73951da8e97b&secure%5Btoken%5D=2cdb62c65f1c4af037684a238afed16e413a9103c63bd969cf50cd83d8bef535&format=llm_user) ## VMware Cloud Director Features **Administration** - Database Management - Access Control - Data Security - Remote Access/Control - Version Control - Remote Monitoring & Management - Capacity Management - Configuration Management - File Management - Compliance Management - Service Level Agreement (SLA) Management - Namespace Management - Access Controls/Permissions **Infrastructure Provision** - Public Cloud - Private Cloud - Hybrid Cloud - Bare Metal - High-Performance Computing (HPC) - Virtual Machines (VMs) - Edge Computing - Virtual Networks - Cloud Computing **Performance** - Scalability - Portability - Data Recovery - Disaster Recovery **Federation** - Architecture - Provisioning - Orchestration - API / Integrations - Virtual Machine Provisioning - API - Third-Party Integrations **Management** - Pay by Usage - Usage Tracking - Performance Tracking - Activity Tracking **Functionality** - OS Integration - Resource Saving - Performance Management - Security - Third-Party Integrations - User Management - Compliance Management - Task Management **Transformation** - Data Visualization - Application Performance - Data Modeling **Functionality** - Resource Auto-Scaling **Agentic AI - Server Virtualization** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making - File Transfer **Additional Functionality** - Cloud Computing - Archiving & Retention - Issue Tracking - Virtual Machine Migration - Server Monitoring - Status Tracking - Secure Login - Activity Dashboard - API - Graphical User Interface - Secure Data Storage - Alerts/Escalation - Generative AI - Virtual Server - Remote Update/Installation - Data Verification - AI Copilot - Reporting & Statistics - VDI - Database Support - Data Synchronization - Data Replication - Virtual Machine Monitoring **Additional Functionality** - Real-Time Reporting - Real-Time Monitoring - Two-Factor Authentication - Virtual Machine Encryption - Backup and Recovery - File Transfer - Server Monitoring - Secure Data Storage - AI Copilot - Data Migration - Virtual Machine Monitoring - Load Balancing - Remote Update/Installation - Archiving & Retention - Visual Analytics - Virtual Machine Snapshots - Role-Based Permissions - HIPAA Compliant - Performance Monitoring - Activity Dashboard - Desktop/Application Virtualization - Event Logs - Single Sign On - Generative AI - Disaster Recovery - Alerts/Escalation - Automatic Backup - Reporting/Analytics **Additional Functionality** - Version Control - Database Support - Real-Time Monitoring - Monitoring - Activity Dashboard - SSL Security - Configurable Workflow - Performance Metrics - Performance Management - Server Monitoring - Data Security - Reporting/Analytics - API - Compliance Management - Access Controls/Permissions - Authentication - Real-Time Analytics - Audit Management - Single Sign On - Generative AI - Third-Party Integrations - Alerts/Escalation - Data Storage Management - AI Copilot - Resource Management - Activity Management - Scheduling - Load Balancing - Backup and Recovery - User Management - Role-Based Permissions - Secure Login - Reporting & Statistics - Network Monitoring - Service Level Agreement (SLA) Management - Task Scheduling - Application Management - Resource Allocation & Planning - Real-Time Notifications - Data Migration - Configuration Management - Log Access - Data Visualization - Real-Time Data - Audit Trail - Secure Data Storage - Data Capture and Transfer - Workflow Management - Performance Monitoring - Search/Filter ## Top VMware Cloud Director Alternatives - [Azure Virtual Machines](https://www.g2.com/products/azure-virtual-machines/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (377 reviews) - [SAP HANA Cloud](https://www.g2.com/products/sap-hana-cloud-2025-10-01/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (521 reviews) - [Google Compute Engine](https://www.g2.com/products/google-compute-engine/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (876 reviews)
