Efficient IT management with automatic VM configuration and room for improved support

Pros

"NSX helps us by making IT management and operations more efficient. When VMs spin off from the DC to the DR site, all required settings on the network level are handled automatically."

Cons

"The ticket support response time from VMware could be improved. Often, callbacks are delayed, which can be problematic if the servers are in production."

Under-implementation and lag in benchmark support and lacks support for AIX

Pros

"It's what we use the CIS Benchmarks for. It's for employing hardening rules and keeping them up to date when things happen on our systems. So it's really configurations and stuff that harden and report back. "

Cons

"This solution is really unusable from my perspective at this point. Overall, I would rate the solution a one of ten. "

It extends Layer-2 scalability on Layer 3

Pros

"NSX extends Layer-2 scalability on Layer 3, covering the vRO and extending the capability on Layer 3 by decapsulating using a new mechanism. NSX-V was designed to use with VMware products and Success 360, providing more flexibility toward different levels of cloud, containers, and components. NSX-T gives you the ability to stretch your network across different view locations. If you have multiple sites, you can connect them using NSX-T. "

Cons

"In the next release, they should enhance the visual interface. With NSX-T, it's difficult to communicate between the public cloud and the container. "
