"Over the last two years, they've enhanced a lot, especially in regard to integration with OpenStack."
"Though I haven't been working a lot on VMware NSX, it's good to have. What I like the most about it is that its console is good, and it doesn't take a lot of effort in terms of doing my daily tasks on it or what it's meant for. VMware NSX is still a preferred product in the market."

"The most valuable features are ease of use and user interface."
"The most valuable features are stability and low cost."
"It's a beneficial tool."
"The solution is very good at micro-segmentation."

"Their licensing model should make it easier to purchase licenses."
"They could do more with cloud management."
"It could be more user-friendly, but it's manageable. When we add a specific node to this particular NSX and the configuration changes, it won't push through the errors where required, but it'll accept it. However, while using it, we will have issues. It can also be more stable."
"It isn't easy to deploy."
"They have to work more and more on the integration for public cloud services and have cyber security platform integration."
