VMware vSphere Reviews

I use VMware solutions every day. We use VMware 6.7. We are unable to update because of hardware compatibility concerns.

Our day-to-day operation is building virtual machine applications. 

We are a small company. We are moving to the private cloud along with the VMware solution, starting with building computers, then storage virtualization, and then network virtualization. VMware vSphere has helped us create our infrastructures and provide services for our customers.

The UI could use some improvements, especially in dark mode. There are some features not enabled or do not function as expected.

I would like to see VMware try a new service like Blockchain.

I have been using VMware vSphere since 2009.

VMware has been stable. The performance is good.

All the features of VMware vSphere fit our organization and are compatible.

We had a problem one month ago. Technical support was really able to help us.

The initial setup of VMware was easy. I did not experience any problems or have any difficulty. It took two days to deploy.

We used a local partner to implement the solution.

The solution has standard licensing fees. Support is the only additional cost.

VMware vSphere are leaders in virtualization. The capital investment is high, but it is efficient.

I would rate it a ten out of ten. 

We're using it to run all kinds of workloads.

Its stability and manageability are valuable.

There should be more stability in the updates. They had an issue with the last release.

Their support should also be improved.

I have been using this solution for 15 years.

It's absolutely scalable. We have 130 users who are using this solution. All of the company is using it.

I am not satisfied with their performance or speed for anything below P1 or production-down status. Anything below that is worse than we could expect.

Its installation is straightforward. That's not a problem.

The deployment duration varies. For a specific installation, it could take 15 minutes to set up the whole thing, and it could also take three weeks. It depends on how we're scoping it.

I could do it myself.

Its licensing is typically yearly. From a value standpoint, it's worth it.

I would absolutely recommend this solution. I would rate it a nine out of 10.

VMware vSphere is capable of a wide range of tasks, including file sharing, database management, email, active directory, and much more.

The most valuable feature of this solution is vMotion.

The performance is good; if I had to rate it, I would give it a nine out of ten.

It is easy to use.

I would like to see the configuration simplified. It should be easier to configure.

I have been working with VMware vSphere for a few years.

I am using version 7.0.

VMware vSphere is a stable product.

It is a scalable solution.

We have 150 customers in our organization.

At this time we do not have any plans to increase our usage.

I have never contacted technical support.

The installation was straightforward.

It took a few hours to complete the installation.

We require two people to maintain this solution.

I was able to complete the installation myself.

Licensing fees are not paid yearly, or monthly.

I would recommend this solution to others who are considering it.

It is quite simple to use. The installation is simple and it is stable. I would rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.

We need virtualization for our company, or sometimes our customers leverage virtualization solutions instead of using physical machines.

The fact that vSphere is an on-premise solution is beneficial for the user. It's easier to manage the infrastructure. It's more straightforward to scale and configure virtual machines. 

VMware vSphere is perfect for the on-premise solution, but we are in the cloud era, so I think maybe VMware needs to invest more in the cloud and the microservice chain. It would be better if VMware offered more cloud solutions and continuous applications.

In terms of scalability and stability, vSphere is excellent. We lack volume when we need to bundle a considerable number of physical machines to facilitate virtualization. There are a lot of competitors like Nutanix or others, but VMware is the number one solution for me.

We don't contact VMware support often, but I sometimes have trouble understanding their manuals, so I ask them for help.

It's easier for the user to deploy vSphere or the vCenter, but it's complex when setting up network virtualization.

I think VMware is a good investment. We use VMware to maintain our internal system. 

I rate VMware vSphere seven out of 10. 

We use the solution for the virtualization of the environment. We've converted more than 90% of our environment from physical to virtual.

The higher availability and the vMotion, I would say, are what makes it very interesting as you avoid systems being down. It provides, if you cluster, high availability, and your services can move from system to system to avoid downtime.

The solution is stable.

The scalability is great.

Technical support is helpful and always available. 

There are certain issues that can be improved. No solution is perfect, even though it's working for most of us most of the time. There are certain issues that crop up and some of them are not due to VMware. It could be due to the hardware it is running on. Therefore, it would be ideal if they could provide more knowledge on the fault tolerance and the high availability as some things are just assumed and then users find later that the use cases are different. Sometimes you may assume something applies to a use case only to find that it doesn't. If they improve on the knowledge base and documentation, it would be extremely helpful.

I've been using the solution since 2012. It's been a while. 

The stability of the product is good. I haven't dealt with bugs or glitches. It's reliable. 

The product is scalable. You can increase the number of servers. You can increase the number of computer resources, storage, CPU, memory. It's up to you how huge you want your clusters to be.

This is an enterprise solution. It is not used by users. It is an enterprise technology solution. Therefore, we won't be adding more users. 

Almost all the engineers in the organization are using the solution. I would say maybe 15 engineers are actively using it. 

The technical support is always there. They're always available. When you have an issue, you just log a call with them and set up a service request. They assist you directly. An engineer will be assigned to assist.

We have other tools, such as Oracle VM, which we are using in other areas, however, VMware is used more than the Oracle VM.

For the initial setup, you need to do design work with someone who understands VMware, who is actually certified by VMware. You need someone certified to do it.

Deployment is not a problem. As long as you take time doing your design, the deployment will not take long. You can do it within a week.

If you have one certified engineer, the implementation will go fine. 

In terms of the management of the solution, we have about four engineers who are looking after it.

You cannot do it by yourself. You need a certified engineer. That's a requirement from VMware and it's so that the environment is stable to avoid unnecessary scraping.

You do need a license. Most of these vendors also offer what they call the free version of the software. If you want more support, more features, you have to go for the paid versions. That said, you can still get the free or community version of it.

I'd recommend the solution to other users. It's a good technology. They're pioneers in the industry.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

My primary use case is to consolidate the number of physical servers required. We created our motion machines out of it, and it acts as very easy management for backup and security.

VMWare vSphere has really helped us grow as a business, and going for a virtual backup solution has made my life so much easier.

The most valuable features are High Availability (HA), which reduces downtime, and Fault Tolerance (FT), a mirror solution that ensures no data loss. Its vMotion feature is also valuable, as it allows me to move all my virtual emissions to an available host before performing maintenance. I also value a feature called Distributed Virtual Switch, which allows me to create a private VLAN and do L2 management and switch management.

An area for improvement would be integration with different platforms. In a future release, I would like to see a feature that alerts the user if they make a mistake with configuration or if there is a vulnerability.

I've been using this solution for seven years.

This solution is scalable - it can go up to 64 nodes on the cluster in terms of storage.

VMWare's support is great - they respond immediately to requests for help.

Previously I also worked with Hyper-V, but some of my Linux machines were having problems with it.

The ease of installation depends on your organization's infrastructure - it can be very simple or complicated depending on what you want it to do.

If you want to reduce your costs, I would recommend going forward with virtualization. I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for real-time backups. It can create new VMs.

The solution is stable.

I don't have a problem with scalability.

The product is very easy to install.

The reporting could be improved.

We'd like to see better monitoring. There should be better alert systems in place. 

We['ve been using the solution for two to three years at this point. It hasn't been too long.

The product has been stable so far. The performance and reliability are good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The product can scale. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

We have two people using the solution at this time. 

We have basically updated the hard disk size of VMware servers so that to accommodate the data of the existing clients. I can't say if we will scale beyond this.

We have called VMware regarding Microsoft Cloud integration.

We were using a third-party utility product. Now, events are being pushed through VMware.

The installation process is quite straightforward. It's not overly complex. I wouldn't say it's difficult. A company shouldn't have any issues with the setup process. 

While we have an integrator handle our deployment we manage the solution by ourselves, in-house. 

You only need two people for deployment or maintenance tasks. 

We had an integrator with us through the process and they assisted with the setup initially.

We have a yearly subscription that we pay for this product.

While we are currently using the on-premises deployment, our plan is to move completely to the cloud. 

We are using the latest version of the solution at this point. I can't speak to the exact version number.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten overall. It's a very useful product.

I would recommend the solution to other users or other companies.

The primary use case for vSphere depends on the center. This solution can be implemented both on-premises and on the cloud. 

The most valuable feature of vSphere is its modularity. I also like the maturity updates. It's available everywhere and almost all the data centers are using it. 

vSphere could perhaps be improved by more integration or better security. If there is ever something that could be improved, I am open to looking into it and proposing the improvement. 

I'm a Solution Designer, not a user, but I have been working with vSphere products for over ten years. 

This solution is stable. 

This solution is scalable. 

I don't have experience with VMware support. 

I didn't personally install this solution. 

My customers pay for a license to use vSphere. In Egypt, the license is yearly, and we buy three years. 

I rate vSphere a nine out of ten. I have a lot of customers using vSphere. I recommend this product for those who are looking into implementing it, but it depends on their needs. There are other similar products I can propose too. 

We use VMware vSphere to deploy servers.

VMware vSphere is user-friendly and simple.

The solution could improve by having more integration.

I have been using VMware vSphere for approximately 10 years.

The solution is stable and has good performance.

VMware vSphere is scalable.

I have approximately 1,000 users using this solution.

The technology has been fine.

We have a two-person technical team consisting of a technician and a security administrator.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate VMware vSphere a ten out of ten.

My primary use case is defense hyper combat fan solutions.

The features I've found most valuable are that the enterprise direction is very complete and the data center provides almost everything you need.

One issue with the product is that the sentencing has changed a lot.

I have been using this solution for about a year.

I would rate this product as nine out of ten.
