vCloud Express vs. Alternatives in 2024

Two noteworthy competitors of vCloud Express are Amazon Cloud and CloudCentral. While vCloud Express is suitable only for small and medium businesses, Amazon Cloud is extensive enough to meet the needs of any business size. Accordingly, it also offers a more varied set of features.

Additional core features of Amazon Cloud which are not available on vCloud Express include reserved instance, Content Delivery Network (CDN), HIPAA and PCI compliance, and spot instances. Amazon Cloud also provides wider platform support. Major platforms supported by Amazon Cloud but not by vCloud Express include Joomla, Drupal, Roby, and WordPress. Both solutions have support for Windows as well as Mac OS.

CloudCentral is intended for small and medium businesses and there is not a huge difference between its functionality and that of vCloud Express. Some degree of difference, however, does exist. For example, some features of vCloud Express that are not available on CloudCental are support for multiple locations, elastic IP addresses, web –based cloud management, server cloning, and rapid deployment.

Both solution offers data encryption and monitoring services, along with a variety of similar management and reporting functions. In addition to all the development platforms supported by vCloud Express, CloudCentral also offers support for Ruby.
