## Reviews

### "Strong platform" — 3.0/5

> **Erik** | *27 March 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: By the time I use it, was the begining of cloud services, so functionalities were limited, I supposed they have enrich their platform.
> 
> **Cons**: The access I had was very limited, because the majority of the features were managed by our provider
> 
> Was good, but could be better. We have some issues where our VMs failed, and it impacts our business.

### "VmWare" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *14 June 2022* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10

> 
> **Cons**: Cannot think of cons, works cross products and industry and is reliable

### "VMware Cloud Management for Service Providers" — 4.0/5

> **Ezra** | *26 February 2023* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use- The software is very intuitive compared to other solutions that i have used to manage multi tenanted customersIntegration- It can be easily integrated with other 3rd party tools offering value to customersCustomization- with white labelling , one can easily have resellers as well as giving a cloud customer that look and feel of their organization with their corporate colors and logos
> 
> **Cons**: Complex to set up- Even though there have been leaps and bounds in making the installation and configuration easy, i believe more can be done to make it easier to do soSSL renewal - This is a process that needs to be worked on urgently. It should not take thirty minutes plus to renew a certificate
> 
> Generally i can say that this is an awesome product, does what is required of it and after every update comes great features for both a service provider and end customers
