Need for expensive professional services engagement. Upgrade Process Streamlined, quick, and easy upgrade process. Users can upgrade within UI in less than 15 minutes.

CloudBolt vs. VMware vRealize Automation C O M P A R A T I V E S N A P S H O T CloudBolt is a leading vendor-agnostic cloud management platform that helps customers manage hybrid and multi-cloud environments through a single self-service catalog, adding agility without sacrificing control. VMware vRealize Automation (vRA) is a complex suite of various products that's difficult to deploy, upgrade, and has limited extensibility, leaving you with an inflexible and expensive tool.
