VMware Cloud Foundation Pricing Overview

VMware Cloud Foundation brings together compute, storage, networking, and security into one integrated platform that is easy to manage. I really appreciate how it simplifies lifecycle management through automation, which saves a lot of time on patching and upgrades. The ability to manage both on-premises and cloud environments in a consistent way is a major plus. It helps us reduce complexity while improving performance and resource utilization, which is especially valuable for hybrid cloud deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial deployment can be complex and requires careful planning to get right. It also comes with a steep learning curve for teams that are not already familiar with VMware’s ecosystem. Licensing costs can be high, which might make it less appealing for smaller organizations. Additionally, while automation is a strength, troubleshooting automated tasks can sometimes be challenging if you are not deeply familiar with the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
