VMware vSphere Reviews

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.

We use VMware vSphere on our main computer systems and we are using the Center Configuration Manager from VMware for the solution as well as vCenter for replication.

The most valuable feature is the tech manager from the utilization.

The virtualization this solution offers is very complete for the infrastructure. It meets our requirements and our needs.

It is very easy to operate.

The support for the latest version could be improved.

I have been working with VMware vSphere for ten years.

We began with version 4.0 and are now working with the most recent version.

VMware vSphere is a stable solution.

VMware vSphere is a scalable product.

Technical support from VMware is very comprehensive and helpful.

We use several solutions such as Microsoft Azure, Oracle, and we use VMware for our infrastructure.

We also have another solution for disaster recovery.

We used Microsoft Azure for testing with the model phone credit. It was for testing only.

In my opinion, the price is not cheap, nor it is expensive. It's average.

Currently, we are starting on study for implementing the software design network, and I am evaluating options because I want to know the latest information about the products.

We are also evaluating NSX to implement it in the future.

I would rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.

We use this solution for Datacenter consolidation and it is the infrastructure of our servers.

The interface is good.

It is easy to configure.

I would like to see VDP and other features included to back up the VMs in a native manner.

I have been using VMware vSphere for ten years.

We are working with VMware vSphere 6.5.

VMware vSphere is stable enough, but we have some issues with the storage vendor.

It's a scalable solution. We don't have any issues with the scalability of VMware vSphere.

We have 5,000 users in our organization.

Before we consider increasing the usage, we have to consolidate Windows Datacenter by applying an HCI infrastructure.

Technical support is good.

I am a customer of Dell Technologies as well as VMware.

Other products we work with are VDI, VMware Horizon Server, and vSphere with Operations Management.

I have been using Horizon for eight years. We are using version 7.

It has 100 user licenses, that are deployed on-premises.

I feel that Horizon is more flexible in increasing the number of desktop and network profiles.

I would rate Horizon a seven out of ten.

There are ways to implement VDI in the organization other than the VMware Horizon.

In most cases, the initial setup is simple.

It took two months to deploy this solution.

We have a team of two or three to deploy this solution.

We had help from resellers.

We don't have an active subscription. We have a prepaid or permanent license.

We have been researching vSAN and hyper-converged features.

I would rate VMware vSphere an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the product for server virtualization. We have multiple VMs for different environments for our business needs.

The solution is scalable. 

We haven't had any issues with stability.

The installation process is very straightforward. 

The solution should offer more integration capabilities. 

I've been using the solution for four or five years at this point. 

The solution seems to be stable. We haven't had any issues. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

You can scale the solution very well if you need to. It's not a problem at all. 

As I am not directly involved with the product, I've never had to reach out to technical support to troubleshoot any issues. Therefore, I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

We have found the solution to be straightforward. It's pretty simple and not overly complex. 

A different team handled the setup and deployment. I can't say exactly how long it took to get everything up and running. 

We have some engineers that can handle the deployment and maintenance aspects of the product. 

While I'm sure we are paying some sort of licensing fee, I cannot speak to any exact details. That's handled by management and is not something that I have to deal with directly. 

I am not familiar with the company looking at or evaluating other solutions. 

We're end-users and customers. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're currently on. I don't manage that aspect of it. 

Overall, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've mostly been very happy with its capabilities. 

I would recommend the solution to others. 

It is user-friendly, easy to deploy, and easy to maintain.

The roadmap for the product itself covers all of the features that we are looking for. 

It has what we need.

There are many add-on modules for it.

It would be great if VMware could have a consolidated way of delivering this as software rather than pieces and several add-ons so that you could enjoy the product in its entirety.

There are many add-ons that you have to plugin to enjoy the feature or experience the full power of it.

I have been using VMware vSphere for more than five years.

VMware vSphere is a stable product.

It is very scalable.

They were very helpful in resolving the issue that we had.
