Improved our IT efficiency and problem resolution capabilities but MDM integration needs improvement
A lot of it is the ability to tell me what the problem is, even if it's a hardware or software error. The diagnosis is really nice, and it's enough for my technician to arrive with the right parts to fix it the first time. We don't need that extra truck roll. The fact that it can tell us which part to take with us, the most likely part that we need to replace, is a huge benefit. From an internal IT perspective, the integrations are really easy. Most of them can be done by even a tier-one technician. It's very straightforward: you click where it tells you to click, you do what it tells you to do, and it works.

Great for live migration and storage management with simple deployments
I am using vMotion for live migration and storage migrations. I can use vCenter for both now. In vCenter, I can easily manage storage and move it from one server to another, which is beneficial for the environment. If any server is down, I can utilize the storage for different servers. I can easily manage from anywhere. Deployments are simple, and optimization can improve security management. Troubleshooting is easy, and it is possible to detect noncompliance configurations, minimizing costs. The deployment does not require high-cost human resources. I use a single dual machine for multiple VMs. This offers many benefits compared to physical servers or machines.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a product that is very easy to learn."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The stability is good. Our systems have been up for over two years without any stability issues."
"I usually use the DRS, distributed resource scheduling, to balance resources between mini ESXi and CPU."
"We typically manage VMs after the OS is installed. vCenter simplifies VM management by allowing for the configuration and operation of VMs once an OS, like Windows, is installed."
"The most valuable features of the solution are virtualization and ease of backing up the virtual and on-premises servers."
"The filtering capabilities also enhance scalability by optimizing resource allocation."
"It is easy to create and manage virtual infrastructure."
"VMware vCenter is the best from a management perspective, scoring ten on a scale of one to ten."
"We manage practically everything using the solution."
"I am using vMotion for live migration and storage migrations. I can use vCenter for both now."
 

Cons

"I would like to see MDM integration improved."
"At times, there is degradation in performance."
"In Kaseya, agents are shown as offline at times, and it is an area that is being improved."
"The protocol interface or web page is not easy to use, and the personal portal is difficult to navigate."
"Areas for improvement with vCenter include changes in licensing models."
"The process of creating VLANs or any similar tasks requires following a specific procedure, which must be executed accurately to ensure successful deployment. That's the main concern."
"The product's technical support services need improvement."
"VMware vCenter is an expensive product. Its price needs improvement."
"We face some upgrade patch management issues."
"The protocol interface or web page is not easy to use, and the personal portal is difficult to navigate."
"They could provide flexibility and cost-effectiveness for product licensing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"Pricing is okay and negotiable."
"The product is affordable for now."
"The tool used to be worth the money, but after Broadcom acquired it and changed the pricing structure to subscription-only, it became too expensive for us to continue using. Unfortunately, we haven't found any alternative solutions that meet our needs, so this is a significant drawback for us as we explore other options."
"The licensing model was a bit complex, but thanks to the vCenter product usage program, which VMware introduced, it's kind of easy for us to use a pay-as-you-go model."
"The product is expensive."
"The platform has reasonable pricing."
"VMware vCenter is not expensive."
"The solution is pretty expensive for small businesses because there are few lower-scale VMware vCenter solutions."
"The product's three-year license package is inexpensive."
