vCenter Operations Manager - You should be using it!
Rating: 10 out of 10
IncentivizedUse 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
- 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.
Cons
- 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.
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.
