vCloud Automation Center allows for the requesting of private cloud resources but lacks a true CMDB capability in box.
Each VMware VM template will have it’s own VMDK, even if the template varies only slightly in it’s configuration options.
No alternatives to Server Application Virtualization (App-V) thus relies on regular installation methods or inflexible scripts.
vFabric AD for Provisioning included with vCloud Suite, not release management ~$9,375 for 25 VMs.
vCloud Automation Center allows deployment onto non-VMware infrastructure at a cost of $400 per managed machine + S&S
however once deployed, it could not be managed from vCloud Director along with other VMware-based VMs.

Would require purchases outside of the vCloud Suite including vFabric Hyperic, vCenter Operations Management Suite Enterprise Edition
Remediation limited to VMware best practices thus lacking in application-specific remediation guidance
Lab Manager deprecated, with customers expected to upgrade to vCloud Director, which has no connections with Development IDE.

VMware Data Protection (Advanced) offers protection for VMs & SQL/Exchange only and offers no protection of physical machines
VMware Data Protection is not extensible by 3rd parties
VMware Data Protection is capped at 10 appliances per vCenter with a maximum storage of 2TB/100 VMs per appliance.
VMware Data Protection offers no protection to tape media. Disk only

vCloud Automation Center focuses on provisioning VMs to alternative hypervisors, whilst the Multi-Hypervisor Manager plug-in for vCenter
offers only very basic capabilities. vCAC support limited to 2008 R2/SP1 & VMM 2012
vCenter Orchestrator has a limited number of 3rd party plug-ins.
vCenter Operations Management Suite requires the purchase of 3rd Party adaptors to integrate.
