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. "
