CloudHealth by VMware
CloudHealth is a leader in the Forrester Cloud Cost Management
and Optimization Wave and received the highest score in each of the
three main categories of the eight evaluated vendors. The report
analyzes and scores the top eight providers helping infrastructure
and operations (I&O) professionals select the right solution
for their needs. For vendors with CCMO offerings, according to the
Forrester report, “Container support, accurate billing, and cost
optimization are key differentiators.” The Forrester report further
states, “[CloudHealth by] VMware offers a leading platform for
cloud-native and traditional enterprises.”
The report notes, “Reference customers gave high marks for
CloudHealth’s customer support and openness to adding new features.
They also appreciated the team’s quarterly business review, which
provides benchmark comparisons with other customers of similar size
and cloud spend … CloudHealth also includes visibility support for
VMware [Cloud] on AWS, Oracle (beta), and [VMware] vSphere and
other VMware Cloud Provider Program (VCPP) clouds, in addition to
AWS, Azure, and GCP.”
The report adds: “VMware’s success in the enterprise data center
makes the CloudHealth offering attractive for existing VMware
customers and partners.” Since VMware acquired CloudHealth
Technologies in 2018, CloudHealth has expanded its channel and
partnerships, grown its integrations to enterprise software, and
has more than 10,000 customers, including some of the largest cloud
consumers in the world.
