VMware vSphere Reviews

We are using VMware vSphere for our internal management systems. Additionally, we are running the Acronis backup solution, which is partly running on vSphere.

VMware vSphere has useful tools for management and support.

We have had some problems setting up the monitoring with vSphere. The process could be simplified.

I have been using VMware vSphere for approximately two years.

VMware vSphere is stable.

The scalability of VMware vSphere has been very good for what we use it for.

I have not contacted the technical support personally but my colleagues have and it has been satisfactory.

I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.

We are an IT company and VMware partners.

VMware vSphere is used for virtualization in all situations and for all businesses.

This solution's most valuable feature is its High Availability.

The only concern I have with VMware vSphere is that the level of support is inadequate. It's not very fast. The support is good, but it's slow.

When we need help, we require someone to answer the phone quickly.

I've been selling VMware vSphere since it was launched.

We have no issues with the stability of VMware vSphere. It is very stable.

VMware vSphere is a scalable product.

Technical support is good but not very fast.

We have customers who use Sangfor, as well as customers with VMware. 

vSphere is used by all VMware customers.

A small infrastructure installation can take up to eight hours.

The teams are always the same. We have five technicians, three of whom specialize in networking and virtualization, and one who is a management engineer.

Our customers have the option of paying the licensing fee when they purchase the solution or renting it from us.

If a customer chooses to rent the solution, the customer pays us and we purchase the solution.

The vSphere serves as the system's control center for managing virtual machines (VMs). VMware vSphere is present in all installations.

Our solutions are all deployed on-premises.

As a company, we advise, supply, and install products for our clients. We provide two solutions, one of which is Sangfor and the other is VMware.

As a reseller of vSphere, I would recommend this solution to anyone who is interested in using it.

I would rate VMware vSphere an eight out of ten.

We use VMware vSphere on our main computer systems and we are using the Center Configuration Manager from VMware for the solution as well as vCenter for replication.

The most valuable feature is the tech manager from the utilization.

The virtualization this solution offers is very complete for the infrastructure. It meets our requirements and our needs.

It is very easy to operate.

The support for the latest version could be improved.

I have been working with VMware vSphere for ten years.

We began with version 4.0 and are now working with the most recent version.

VMware vSphere is a stable solution.

VMware vSphere is a scalable product.

Technical support from VMware is very comprehensive and helpful.

We use several solutions such as Microsoft Azure, Oracle, and we use VMware for our infrastructure.

We also have another solution for disaster recovery.

We used Microsoft Azure for testing with the model phone credit. It was for testing only.

In my opinion, the price is not cheap, nor it is expensive. It's average.

Currently, we are starting on study for implementing the software design network, and I am evaluating options because I want to know the latest information about the products.

We are also evaluating NSX to implement it in the future.

I would rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the product for server virtualization. We have multiple VMs for different environments for our business needs.

The solution is scalable. 

We haven't had any issues with stability.

The installation process is very straightforward. 

The solution should offer more integration capabilities. 

I've been using the solution for four or five years at this point. 

The solution seems to be stable. We haven't had any issues. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

You can scale the solution very well if you need to. It's not a problem at all. 

As I am not directly involved with the product, I've never had to reach out to technical support to troubleshoot any issues. Therefore, I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

We have found the solution to be straightforward. It's pretty simple and not overly complex. 

A different team handled the setup and deployment. I can't say exactly how long it took to get everything up and running. 

We have some engineers that can handle the deployment and maintenance aspects of the product. 

While I'm sure we are paying some sort of licensing fee, I cannot speak to any exact details. That's handled by management and is not something that I have to deal with directly. 

I am not familiar with the company looking at or evaluating other solutions. 

We're end-users and customers. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're currently on. I don't manage that aspect of it. 

Overall, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've mostly been very happy with its capabilities. 

I would recommend the solution to others. 

It is user-friendly, easy to deploy, and easy to maintain.

The roadmap for the product itself covers all of the features that we are looking for. 

It has what we need.

There are many add-on modules for it.

It would be great if VMware could have a consolidated way of delivering this as software rather than pieces and several add-ons so that you could enjoy the product in its entirety.

There are many add-ons that you have to plugin to enjoy the feature or experience the full power of it.

I have been using VMware vSphere for more than five years.

VMware vSphere is a stable product.

It is very scalable.

They were very helpful in resolving the issue that we had.

The initial setup is easy.

I would recommend this solution to others. It is considered to be a leader within the industry.

I would rate VMware vShpere an eight out of ten.

We have implemented VMware vSphere a lot which is used for Server Virtualization. It has reduced the number of equipment that we need to use in the data centers servers, such as HP, IBM, Dell, and many others. We can use this solution for many use cases, even storage.

We have been able to reduce the amount of time between implementations and the number of systems needed which has allowed us to focus that time somewhere in our organization.

The solution is user-friendly. It is easy to convert, create, and manage systems.

On the older version of VMware vSphere, possibly version four, we had a feature that allowed us to backup Ziploc machines. It has not been available in the newer version such as six or seven. I have been looking for another solution to accomplish the backups but they should bring back this plugin-type tool to allow older backup capabilities.

I have been using this solution for approximately eight years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is easy to scale.

We use Microsoft Hyper-V.

The installation is straightforward. 

I have recently implemented version seven and I am monitoring the differences from five to seven.

We have found sometimes when we have some instability it is difficult to get support for the specific issue.

We have saved money from reducing the number of systems needed, the time it takes for someone to do implementations, and the electricity used for the systems.

My advice to those wanting to implement the solution is to make sure they read and know exactly what the solution does, and if there were updates from the previous version they have used, understand the changes before implementing.

I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.

I use VMware vSphere as a regular VM for different workloads and different configurations.

I like the capability of vMotion, DRS, high availability, and resource distribution.

The price could be better. The licensing is definitely expensive and tech support is sometimes frustrating.

I have been using VMware vSphere for 15 or 16 years.

VMware vSphere is a robust and stable product. It doesn't break that often.

Technical support is sometimes frustrating. Lately, we have been dealing with some tech support on SRM and they are not able to solve it.

The initial setup is straightforward. Once you have some understanding, it's straightforward.

The price could be better. The license is definitely expensive.

I don't find anything that I think it would be a bottleneck or any challenge. I've been using it for so many years. It's a robust product, and I don't see anything lacking. I would advise potential users to go for it. It's something you can rely on. It's very robust and doesn't break if you implement it correctly. It actually gives you peace of mind.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give VMware vSphere an eight.

VMware vSphere is user friendly. It is scalable and stable, which are very important attributes for us.

The installation is a little bit complex.

VMware vSphere needs to increase the datastore volume.

I've been using it for 10 years.

It is stable.

It is a scalable solution.

The installation is not overly complex. The integration project took two months, and the upgrade to version 6.7 took a lot of time.

For deployment and maintenance, you need a team of three or four admins and engineers.

We worked with an integrator.

We evaluated Hyper-V.

I would recommend this solution and rate it at ten on a scale from one to ten.

We deliver this solution to our customers and we partner with the vendor. I'm a senior infrastructure solution specialist. 

This is a straightforward solution, there's not much troubleshooting required and the work around it is quite simple. I particularly like the virtualization and the ability of the solution to optimize and deliver an automated and orchestrated cloud platform on-prem. They regularly surprise us with great features developed by a very, very sharp R&D team that delivers up-to-date technology with more features and more valuable ideas to enhance and automate the platform with data center.

If you're converting from any other virtualization system to VMware, you will note that the price is significantly higher. 

I've been using this solution for 10 years. 

The solution is scalable to an unlimited number of hosts.

Technical support is very helpful. They don't deliver the troubleshooting directly, but they understand and collect the logs and provide the procedure to follow in order to reach a solution.

The initial setup is straightforward. VMware is a very, very easy system to implement and to administer, as long as you have at least some sort of experience. You don't need to be an expert but those who have a high-level knowledge of VMware can manage and deliver the crucial tasks. 

There are different licensing costs depending on whether you're using the standard or enterprise solution. A socket in the standard solution might cost $1,000 whereas it would cost $4,000 for the enterprise socket. 

I rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

We use VMware vSphere for virtualization, especially server virtualization.

It's a very useful solution. It's easy to set up, and it's pretty stable.

It could be more scalable. 

I have been using VMware vSphere for about ten years.

VMware vSphere is pretty stable.

VMware vSphere can be scalable. We can scale it as much as we want, but it could be more scalable. 

The initial setup is pretty good. It took us about an hour to implement this solution.

We implemented VMware vSphere. We need about two people to set up and maintain this solution.

We pay for our license. 

I would recommend this solution to new users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give VMware vSphere a ten.
