The physical segmentation of networking and security.
Infrastructure Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
We can import acquisition products into our environment without reconfiguring them and it's infinitely scalable.
What is most valuable?
How has it helped my organization?
Lately we have been using it to import acquisition products into our environment without reconfiguring them at all, due to how the segmentation works.
What needs improvement?
I feel like vCloud is two years behind the feature set – in terms of the UI, and vCenter. I can't do the same tasks that I can do in terms of UI as with vCenter.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's stable, usually admin error if something goes wrong.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's infinitely scalable.
How are customer service and support?
It's good overall. We have had times when it has been slower than we would have liked, but I would say that about every vendor we use.
How was the initial setup?
Setup is easy.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
It's all about the product, what limitations the product doesn’t have. We speak to vendors all the time, but once you see a product and how it will fit in then that’s the real test.
What other advice do I have?
You can't go wrong with VMware. The stability and the flexibility it allows, they do it best compared to competitors. Peer reviews are fairly important but I try to form my opinion from a POC over anything else.
Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
