VMware vSphere is stable. I rate it seven out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is not available in the free version. However, you can get support from the community.

VMware vSphere's deployment is easy. It doesn't take more than 20 minutes. You can download it from the official website and install it.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We are using the tool's free version.

What other advice do I have?

VMware vSphere's community is good. I recommend using the product if you are in the initial career phase and need to deploy a few virtual machines for testing purposes. For more extensive virtualization needs in a production environment, especially when dealing with many VMs, opting for VMware ESXi, its upgraded version, would be a prudent choice. I rate it eight out of ten.
