VMware vSphere Reviews

VMware vSphere allows you to run multiple virtual machines. For example, I can run up to 10 computers, virtual servers on one physical server. 

We have at least 10 people using this solution in our organization.

The most valuable feature of VMware vSphere is the ability to work in big system infrastructure. For example, you can move one bridge, one machine to another, or one virtual machine from one server to another. This is beneficial when you want to put a server under maintenance.

Also, the security features and implementation are very easy.

There is nothing from my perspective that the product needs to improve. It works for all my needs.

I recommend that VMware vSphere continue to release more features.

I have been using VMware vSphere for 7 years.

This solution is stable.

VMware vSphere is scalable.

Previously, I had used Hyper-v. VMware is a much better solution.

The initial setup of the solution is straightforward.

We use third party support for this product.

I would rate VMware vSphere a 10 out of 10.

We use VMware vSphere for many things in our business, such as ERP software, file sharing, and back office. Additionally, we use it for many types of servers, such as database and file servers.

We need to improve availability and disaster recovery in VMware vSphere.

I have been using VMware vSphere for approximately seven years.

VMware vSphere is stable.

I have found VMware vSphere to be scalable.

We have approximately 25 users in my company using this solution. All the employees are using the solution.

The technical support is good and they are available over the internet.

The initial setup of VMware vSphere was simple. The full deployment took approximately two weeks.

We had a consultant that did the deployment of VMware vSphere.

We have two engineers for the support of the solution.

VMware vSphere is a good solution, but we are looking for ACI opportunities.

My advice to others is when you are looking for a solution, look for a vendor in the county you live in.

I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.

We're using it to run all kinds of workloads.

Its stability and manageability are valuable.

There should be more stability in the updates. They had an issue with the last release.

Their support should also be improved.

I have been using this solution for 15 years.

It's absolutely scalable. We have 130 users who are using this solution. All of the company is using it.

I am not satisfied with their performance or speed for anything below P1 or production-down status. Anything below that is worse than we could expect.

Its installation is straightforward. That's not a problem.

The deployment duration varies. For a specific installation, it could take 15 minutes to set up the whole thing, and it could also take three weeks. It depends on how we're scoping it.

I could do it myself.

Its licensing is typically yearly. From a value standpoint, it's worth it.

I would absolutely recommend this solution. I would rate it a nine out of 10.

vSphere is for virtualizing some real computers, and then they can be used as hot spares. Sometimes you need to complement some functions or perform some work on them.

The connectivity is fantastic, and many functions can run together in one server. If you need to scale, we can continue to add components or modules. It's a beautiful virtual solution that has many advantages over physical hardware, where you have to use devices and wiring to connect all your projects.

I'm using vSphere at a high level. Sometimes, I find it challenging to integrate different networks, but I think it's just my lack of knowledge. For example, some companies have private internal networks, so we must connect to external networks, routers, or switches. 

And the backups are something we have to integrate with one of them because they are just running with what they have. And I don't know why it wasn't considered from the beginning because they believe that they can back up the whole computer, but it's not a good solution. I have taken measures like exporting critical databases that I normally modify and figure out, but I would prefer a centralized system.

I haven't had any problems with stability.

I'm usually able to find solutions for my issues by logging into the blogs and searching for answers. 

When I first got involved with vSphere, I thought it was fantastic to use the default. Once it was deployed, I could check on the rail systems, and everything worked very well. The best thing is that the tests I run to understand the situation can also run parallel. So I found it all straightforward. However, primarily I'm working on a platform already built by the companies that provide them. I do some maintenance and modifications of the customer's applications. Setting up this solution isn't generally part of my job. 

I rate vSphere 10 out of 10. It's perfect. I know some people are very conservative and don't want to even mess with them, but I would argue that it's a way to avoid risking physical installations or making mistakes in real life. You can do all your testing virtually.

My primary use case is to consolidate the number of physical servers required. We created our motion machines out of it, and it acts as very easy management for backup and security.

VMWare vSphere has really helped us grow as a business, and going for a virtual backup solution has made my life so much easier.

The most valuable features are High Availability (HA), which reduces downtime, and Fault Tolerance (FT), a mirror solution that ensures no data loss. Its vMotion feature is also valuable, as it allows me to move all my virtual emissions to an available host before performing maintenance. I also value a feature called Distributed Virtual Switch, which allows me to create a private VLAN and do L2 management and switch management.

An area for improvement would be integration with different platforms. In a future release, I would like to see a feature that alerts the user if they make a mistake with configuration or if there is a vulnerability.

I've been using this solution for seven years.

This solution is scalable - it can go up to 64 nodes on the cluster in terms of storage.

VMWare's support is great - they respond immediately to requests for help.

Previously I also worked with Hyper-V, but some of my Linux machines were having problems with it.

The ease of installation depends on your organization's infrastructure - it can be very simple or complicated depending on what you want it to do.

If you want to reduce your costs, I would recommend going forward with virtualization. I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for real-time backups. It can create new VMs.

The solution is stable.

I don't have a problem with scalability.

The product is very easy to install.

The reporting could be improved.

We'd like to see better monitoring. There should be better alert systems in place. 

We['ve been using the solution for two to three years at this point. It hasn't been too long.

The product has been stable so far. The performance and reliability are good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The product can scale. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

We have two people using the solution at this time. 

We have basically updated the hard disk size of VMware servers so that to accommodate the data of the existing clients. I can't say if we will scale beyond this.

We have called VMware regarding Microsoft Cloud integration.

We were using a third-party utility product. Now, events are being pushed through VMware.

The installation process is quite straightforward. It's not overly complex. I wouldn't say it's difficult. A company shouldn't have any issues with the setup process. 

While we have an integrator handle our deployment we manage the solution by ourselves, in-house. 

You only need two people for deployment or maintenance tasks. 

We had an integrator with us through the process and they assisted with the setup initially.

We have a yearly subscription that we pay for this product.

While we are currently using the on-premises deployment, our plan is to move completely to the cloud. 

We are using the latest version of the solution at this point. I can't speak to the exact version number.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten overall. It's a very useful product.

I would recommend the solution to other users or other companies.

The primary use case for vSphere depends on the center. This solution can be implemented both on-premises and on the cloud. 

The most valuable feature of vSphere is its modularity. I also like the maturity updates. It's available everywhere and almost all the data centers are using it. 

vSphere could perhaps be improved by more integration or better security. If there is ever something that could be improved, I am open to looking into it and proposing the improvement. 

I'm a Solution Designer, not a user, but I have been working with vSphere products for over ten years. 

This solution is stable. 

This solution is scalable. 

I don't have experience with VMware support. 

I didn't personally install this solution. 

My customers pay for a license to use vSphere. In Egypt, the license is yearly, and we buy three years. 

I rate vSphere a nine out of ten. I have a lot of customers using vSphere. I recommend this product for those who are looking into implementing it, but it depends on their needs. There are other similar products I can propose too. 

Except for the Oracle Database, our environment is run on VMware vSphere. We also use this solution for connection tests.

VMware vSphere could be more secure and well-known to everyone.

I have been working with VMware vSphere for ten years.

VMware vSphere is a very stable product.

It's a scalable solution.

We have ten users in our organization.

I have some experience with Hyper-V and KVM.

The installation is straightforward.

We pay our licensing fees on a yearly basis.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
