Services Presales Solutions Architecture - UAE & Gulf at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees4.0I primarily use VMware NSX for data center connectivity, appreciating its micro-segmentation and security features. However, the expensive and rigid licensing model could be improved, especially following Broadcom's acquisition. Competitors include Cisco and Arista.
Senior VMware Administrator at Johnson Controls, Inc.4.5We use VMware NSX for software-defined networking, appreciating its robust and user-friendly network creation features, though we don't leverage its full capabilities. Improvements are needed in reporting and pricing. We haven't explored alternatives and operate with various vendors, including Cisco.
Senior IT Strategy Consultant at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees3.5I primarily use VMware NSX to enhance security through micro-segmentation, efficiently managing subnet segregation. Its dynamic network configuration offers flexibility, although the initial setup was complex. We considered Akamai but faced issues with its client-side agent.
Sr . IT Infrastructure Manager at a computer software company with 201-500 employees4.0I use VMware NSX for automating and supporting multi-cloud environments, primarily in our data centers. Its valuable features include configuration management. However, I see room for improvement in visualization and response time despite satisfactory support quality.
Solutions Architect at BCX4.0We use VMware NSX for network virtualization in our cloud environments, valuing its security features like IPS and IDS. However, we see room for improvement in boot times and synchronization issues. We're also exploring alternatives like Nutanix and OpenShift.
Joint Staff Officer at Hellenic National Defence General Staff4.5I find VMware NSX valuable for its micro-segmentation and automation with Python, enhancing our application security and efficiency. It saves us time, meets our needs, and fits organizational requirements, making it our chosen solution without exploring alternatives.
Presales Solutions Architect at Freelance3.5As a presales professional for VMware NSX, I value its virtualization and networking capabilities. However, migrating from NSX V to NSX T is complicated, and the cost is high and variable. Some customers consider alternatives like Nutanix.
Manager Data Centre at a consultancy with 51-200 employees4.0We use VMware NSX for hosting citizen-centric portals, benefiting from its ease of configuration, especially during VM migrations. However, VMware's ticket support response time needs improvement. We've always used VMware products, preferring AWS over alternatives like Azure.
