A virtualization and monitoring solution for running applications
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is very easy and takes half an hour to complete."
  • "Customer support takes a long time to respond."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution in servers for digitalization. Our digital products, like mobile and internet banking, run on them.

How has it helped my organization?

We are running critical applications like mobile applications on vSphere.

What is most valuable?

The tool offers virtualization and monitoring.

What needs improvement?

Virtual machine snapshots and consolidation need to be improved. Also, there are licensing and subscription issues.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using VMware vSphere for 3 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution’s stability a 9 out of 10.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. 5 users are using this solution.

I rate the solution’s scalability an 8 out of 10.

How are customer service and support?

Customer support takes a long time to respond.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have used Nutanix. We opted for VMware because the environment is good.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy and takes half an hour to complete, but it is costly since it has training costs and tutorials. The 3 tutorials are included in this package. They somewhat automate, but it's not enough.

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

Earlier, the solution had a perpetual license, but now, it has a subscription. Also, they have increased the price. The certification is costly.

What other advice do I have?

vSphere has the DRS site. We got the recovery site feature, but we haven't used it. It's good to use the high availability to be more than AWS. We have many weekly metrics running on these.

Overall, I rate the solution an 8 out of 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Hosts virtual services and allows you to move servers from one system to another
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of the solution are the overall virtualization technology and the new features that allow you to move servers from one system to another."
  • "It would be good if the licensing cost of the solution could be cheaper."

What is our primary use case?

VMware vSphere is a very stable solution that can be used to host your virtual services. If you want to host a virtual machine, VMware vSphere is the best tool available on the market.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of the solution are the overall virtualization technology and the new features that allow you to move servers from one system to another. The solution's newer technologies allow you to do network-level isolation.

What needs improvement?

It would be good if the licensing cost of the solution could be cheaper.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using VMware vSphere for five to ten years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution a nine out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution's scalability is also good because you can scale using your required hardware. At the same time, the VMware vSphere and VMware vCenter combination can allow you to scale up to a decent level. Around 100 users were using the solution in our organization.

How are customer service and support?

The solution's technical support was good and fast enough. The technical support team was able to help us with most of the problems we experienced.

How was the initial setup?

The installation and initial setup of the solution were simple because we had a team of people already familiar with VMware. Learning a newer version was never difficult for them. They could easily streamline into the newer versions and use them effectively. So, the learning curve was not that high for the team.

What was our ROI?

The biggest benefit we had with VMware vSphere is that we could provide effective service to our end customers. I was able to support multiple operating systems on VMware, which was the biggest value of the product.

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

VMware vSphere on-premises is still cheaper than the cloud. It's the kind of technology you can always count on.

What other advice do I have?

VMware vSphere has helped us provide better services to our customers because we were able to provide them with stable service. The availability of our systems increased by using VMware products. The solution's security was adequate, but we were not using it extensively.

The solution's High Availability is definitely the factor that comes into the picture because you cannot have downtime in today's IT world. VMware becomes a core strength of the product. It gives you the required availability, scalability, and stability for the environment.

I have always been looking for a seamless cloud migration strategy, which has already been implemented. Now, you can easily migrate systems from on-premises to AWS or Azure cloud. It is easy to integrate VMware vSphere with other products.

Many people using the infrastructure on-premise sometimes want to use the additional capacity in the cloud for additional functionality. The version I used earlier did not have the functionality to move the server from on-premises to the cloud seamlessly. In the newer version, they already have established that part.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
