IBM PowerVM Reviews

Our primary use case for IBM PowerVM is helping customers move more than one machine. We use PowerVM to create virtual machines, even if the use case is for an enterprise and resealable. We always recommend PowerVM to our customers; it is better than most solutions.

IBM should review the price of this solution in my opinion; it is too high. Other than that, I can't think of any other ways to improve PowerVM as our customers are very satisfied with it, particularly with its stability and scalability.

I have been working with IBM PowerVM solutions for about five years.

My opinion is that this solution is quite stable. 

My opinion on the scalability of this solution - since it's deployed by IBM's professional team - is that it is quite scalable. Our customers have had zero complaints regarding PowerVM for its scalability so far.

When it comes to the setup of this solution, IBM does not allow the customer or partner to configure these things. They have a separate team from IBM itself. They configure and do the implementation of our system, including hardware, AIX, and PowerEAM. So, a partner or a distributor was not allowed to work on the configuration.

Our model of IBM PowerVM is deployed on-premises.

Overall, I would rate this solution a nine, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

Overall, I like IBM's performance and stability.

Compared to VMWare, the price could be lower.

I have been using it for five years.

It is a stable solution.

Technical support is fine.

It took about one day to setup. We can't compare with VMWare because VMWare can be setup in one click.

IBM PowerVm has a high cost.

What I like about this solution is that it is easy to configure.

I would like to see an improvement in the management of the program.

The stability of this solution is very high and you don't have to be afraid that you may lose data.

I would say the technical support is average - it isn't bad, but it isn't good either. I am used to technical support in Europe and America, where it is very good.

The initial setup was quite complex, because I use the solution for visualization. 

The program has very limited solutions for the virtualization of containers, so I the next version I would like to see that improved. I will still, however, give a nine out of ten rating.

Our primary use case is to migrate the server from a standalone server to a VM server. 

The case fileserver on the webserver is the most valuable feature. 

The performance should be improved. 

They should reduce the cost to purchase the hardware of the physical server.

It is a stable solution. 

It's easy to scale. 

I have never contacted customer support. We have a service provider that we contact to help with the implementation and support.  

I didn't have any issues with the deployment. 

My colleagues are the ones who deal with pricing. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. I would recommend IBM PowerVM to someone considering it. 

I wouldn't rate it a ten because it has things it can improve on.
