### "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
