VMware vSphere Reviews

We have a partnership with VMware and I'm the professional service team lead. 

VMware has many good features, is stable and reliable. 

I'd like to see the snapshot feature that Nutanix has in their product. It takes a snapshot as a backup without processing as a third-party product. I'd like to see that backup feature in VMware.

We've been using this solution for seven years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable.

We're not very satisfied with the customer support. Sometimes I open a ticket and get a remote appointment with one of our customers and most of the time they're not there and I can't contact them. 

The initial setup is pretty easy and took us a couple of days. We check that the hardware is compatible, then we update the firmware and set up an IP address and then test and tune it. Most of our clients are smaller sized companies. 

This is generally a good and stable solution. It's about weighing up the cost against what the product offers for a specific use case. 

I rate this solution seven out of 10. 

We use most of the VMware products primarily in server virtualization.

VMware vSphere has plenty of features.

I have been using VMware vSphere for approximately 20 years.

The scalability of the solution is excellent.

The customer service that VMware provides is good quality.

The installation is simple.

The price of the solution could be cheaper compared to others.

Though this is an expensive solution it has great functionality, do not try and go too cheap or it will end up costing you more in the long run.

 I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.

We use VMware vSphere to deploy and manage VMs. 

The tool makes virtualization easy. It was free, and we could profit from its GUI. It helps to manage VMs easily. 

The solution needs to improve its stability. 

I have been using the solution for six to seven years. 

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

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. 

We are using the tool's free version. 

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.
