We are a customer. VMware vCenter manages high availability very effectively. The automation of migration is excellent, and the patch management works well. The support from VMware vCenter is good. The only current issue concerns the license change after the sale to Broadcom. The license cost increased significantly, which is a negative aspect of VMware vCenter. We are using vCenter and ESXi to manage the host.
I primarily use VMware vCenter ( /products/vmware-vcenter-reviews ) for data center virtualization. It is a professional product under the data center virtualization umbrella. VMware vCenter ( /products/vmware-vcenter-reviews ) manages and monitors multiple hypervisors like VMware ESXi ( /products/vmware-esxi-40782-reviews ), particularly in larger environments such as telcos, universities, or big institutions.
I installed VMware vCenter and ESXi. I use vCenter to manage the several ESXi under it. I have used the DRS, high availability, and fault tolerance in my vCenter.
The primary use case is for virtual machine (VM) deployment, configuration of Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), prioritizing products on VMs, and using add-on devices such as hardware, network, and graphics cards. It's mainly used for high-priority tasks and performance management within VMware vSphere and VMware vCenter environments.

You use vCenter in data center operations as the core of your investment infrastructure, coordinating products like NSX, HSL, HSAX, and Cyber Recovery Manager.
We use the product for managing a large-scale virtualized infrastructure, specifically overseeing ten ESXi hosts. It helps us upgrade the databases for all the hosts through one console. It includes virtual machine creation to packet updates, and with additional tools like vCenter Lifecycle Manager, we can effortlessly handle patches and host migrations.

As a cloud service provider, we offer infrastructure as a service using VMware components. To centrally manage all ESXi servers, we use vCenter. Its features, such as high availability (HA), Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), and vMotion, make vCenter a unique and valuable product. These features significantly aid my team in delivering superior services to our customers. As a cloud architect, I'm involved in designing and implementing various solutions, mainly with VMware for virtualization from the computing perspective. This includes VMware vCenter, ESXi, VROps, vRealize Automation (vRA), and NSX for networking solutions. My team also works on storage, backup, and security. I also have experience with VMware vRealize Automation (VRA), which integrates with Center. In the past, my team deployed virtual machines for our customers because we couldn't offer a self-service portal or automation solutions. With vRealize Automation, we're not only able to automate tasks but also manage vCenter resources efficiently. It allows us to assign resources to customers as needed and provide them with a self-service portal. Now, customers can complete tasks independently thanks to automation and workflows in VRA, significantly reducing the need for direct support from my team.
The product has broad use cases. Our customers use it for mission-critical production environments, general hosting, or for private cloud environments,
