VMware vSphere is the virtual platform for our company, where we host all the virtual machines.
We use the solution's vMotion feature to migrate VMs from one host to another across different environments and data centers.
It is not easy to upgrade VMware vSphere from an old version to a new version. We have to work with the support to upgrade the solution.
I rate the solution an eight out of ten for stability.
I rate the solution a seven out of ten for scalability.
The initial setup of the solution is not easy, but it's also not very complex. If you don't have experience working with VMware vSphere, it's pretty hard for you.
VMware vSphere is a more mature and stable virtualization tool than Microsoft Hyper-V.
VMware vSphere saved us a lot of costs and easily deployed the server from templates. We use the solution to make capacity changes, increase the memory, and increase the CPU. The reason we use VMware vSphere is its high availability feature.
VMware vSphere integrates well with our existing IT security measures. We have all the agents on the VM and a central console for the security, patching for the security, and monitoring. My team has less than 1,000 VMs, and we have three resources working to support their virtualization.
I would recommend VMware vSphere to other users because it is the best virtualization solution in the market. From what I know, most companies use VMware vSphere.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
We use the solution in servers for digitalization. Our digital products, like mobile and internet banking, run on them.
We are running critical applications like mobile applications on vSphere.
The tool offers virtualization and monitoring.
Virtual machine snapshots and consolidation need to be improved. Also, there are licensing and subscription issues.

We have used Nutanix. We opted for VMware because the environment is good.
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.
Earlier, the solution had a perpetual license, but now, it has a subscription. Also, they have increased the price. The certification is costly.
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.
