"If you're worried that NSX is too complex, I would tell you to take another look. If you compare NSX to a similar solution you might find it to be a bit more complex. Usually, the guy that comes in to implement NSX isn't the network guy and will lack the knowledge for the program. He can lack the knowledge for this program and will therefore think it's complex. You need somebody with network experience."

"It lacks full knowledge of physical side of the network topology."
"I would rate this product an eight because it's a good product but it needs more work. They should fix some of the bugs."
"The integration with other brands is not the best."
"The setup is complex and should be made easier."
"A room for improvement in VMware NSX is that it has some security vulnerabilities, which means my company has to apply the patches every once in a while."
