vCloud Automation Center focuses on provisioning VMs to alternative hypervisors, whilst the Multi-Hypervisor Manager plug-in for vCenter
offers only very basic capabilities
VMware do not produce any operating systems, and support is therefore focused not on the guest operating system itself, but instead, on
the VM Tools and hardware.
vCenter Orchestrator has a limited number of 3rd party plug-ins and vCenter Operations Management Suite requires the purchase of 3rd Party
adaptors to integrate.
Monitoring capabilities do extend to multiple frameworks but support for many frameworks is out of date - .NET 3.0 is the latest for instance.
Also, the monitoring is not connected to any true DevOps capability, and lacks remediation guidance around detected issues.
