Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The features that I have found to be the most valuable are the collecting of statistics, reporting, and implementing changes to particular environments on a scheduled basis with no manual intervention."
"From a distributed firewall perspective, it's a solid solution."
"You can easily integrate this with other VMware products. It is a robust solution."
"The solution is very good at micro-segmentation."
"The ability to scale from different clouds. At the moment, the scalability of the product is the number one thing that I saw."
"This is the most scalable product of its type."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup process was easy."
"The organization of it is logical, useful, and intuitive."
"From a security standpoint, the customer was able to better secure critical workloads while routing L2/L3 worked normally, giving them more confidence that they would be ready for any potential security incident mitigation or outage (DR)."
 

Cons

"Anything to do with storage needs improvement."
"It's a good product, but the way that it has got so many multiple levels that need to be purchased makes it expensive and cumbersome."
"The solution could improve by having a more streamlined setup."
"Just being more knowledgeable about the different functions."
"VMware NSX could improve by having more compatibility with other none Window-based operating systems."
"If there are other solutions already in place, it can be difficult to implement."
"Quite a complex solution."
"Their licensing model should make it easier to purchase licenses."
"They could branch out to the physical layer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is reasonable. It's not cheap, but it's not expensive, it's in the middle."
"The product pricing ranges from medium to expensive. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"We can't go without NSX, so it's invaluable from this perspective."
"The price could be better. We pay for the license every three years. The last time I checked, it cost around three million pesos in the Philipines. Most of the expense will go towards implementation and renovation."
"The price of this product is too high."
"VMware NSX is a cheaper product compared to its competitor, Cisco."
"We are using the free version of the solution."
"This solution requires a licence."
"I would rate the pricing of VMware NSX as seven out of ten"
