VMware vSphere Reviews

VMware vSphere is primarily used for server virtualization and automation.

The most valuable features are the virtualization and the performance on the virtualization platform.

Both the price and the licensing fee are expensive, especially for our clients with a smaller workload.

I have been working with VMware vSphere for 14 years.

We have versions ranging from ESX 3.0 to the most recent one.

We have clients who use various deployment methods, including cloud, hybrid, and on-premises. 

VMware vSphere is a reliable solution.

It is easy to scale.

We scale with VMware vSphere as well as vSAN.

We have customers with hundreds of servers running on vSphere.

We have contacted technical support many times.

Technical support is responsive. I would rate them an eight or nine out of ten.

We are system integrators. We use a wide range of hardware and products.

On a daily basis, we work with servers, virtualization, VMware, and EMC storage boxes, as well as pure storage.

Our clients have tried Hyper-V as well and other solutions, but the consistency is better and there are fewer issues with the vSphere interface.

The initial setup is not complex. 

It may be complex for the users, but not for the IT person; it is not a problem, and at all difficult

The licensing and pricing need to be improved. 

The price is not an issue for our mid-sized or large-sized customers, but it can be expensive for our smaller customers.

Virtualization fulfills the requirements very well.

I would rate VMware vSphere a 10 out of 10.

We are using the latest version.

We use it for virtual machines. It is a platform which can be used to provide infrastructure for virtualization.

The solution could be more stable.

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

While the solution is stable, it would be nice if it were more so. 

The solution is scalable. 

We have plans to increase our usage. 

I have not had occasion to contact technical support. 

We used a virtual machine prior to the solution. 

As the the solution is cloud-based, it is easy to install. 

The installation took, perhaps, four days. 

Installation can be done on one's own. 

The solution comes with a yearly subscription license. 

The solution is cloud-based. 

There are around four people using the solution in our organization.

I rate VMware vSphere as a seven out of ten. 

Except for the Oracle Database, our environment is run on VMware vSphere. We also use this solution for connection tests.

VMware vSphere could be more secure and well-known to everyone.

I have been working with VMware vSphere for ten years.

VMware vSphere is a very stable product.

It's a scalable solution.

We have ten users in our organization.

I have some experience with Hyper-V and KVM.

The installation is straightforward.

We pay our licensing fees on a yearly basis.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.

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.
