User-friendly and easy to deploy
Pros and Cons
- "One of the most valuable features of this solution is the ease of deployment. It's also user-friendly and has been on the market for more than a decade, so it's a leading technology in hypervisor solutions."
- "VMware vSphere could be improved with cheaper costs."
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case of VMware vSphere is virtualization. It doesn't depend on the hardware anymore, so it's easy to migrate and scale.
This solution is deployed on-premise.
What is most valuable?
One of the most valuable features of this solution is the ease of deployment. It's also user-friendly and has been on the market for more than a decade, so it's a leading technology in hypervisor solutions.
What needs improvement?
VMware vSphere could be improved with cheaper costs.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for 10 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This solution is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of this solution is 10 out of 10.
For this solution, we don't have an end user environment, but for our servers and our whole VM infrastructure, there are around 500 to 1,000 users. I'm not sure if we are going to increase our usage because, nowadays, most organizations are moving to cloud, but we have on-prem solutions in most cases.
How are customer service and support?
We rarely contact technical support because I have a back-to-back engineer and we both have a good understanding of the VMware infrastructure. We are able to solve about 90% of problems ourselves.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have a mixture of VMware and Hyper-V. For the small branches, we use Hyper-V because of the licensing and because Windows has four VMs embedded into the core Hyper-V. For VMware, we need to buy a separate license, but we use it for bigger offices and centers.
How was the initial setup?
The setup process of this solution is very straightforward and easy. For VMware, almost all the data center administrators can be easy to manage and deploy. The installation took less than three or four hours. I did it myself.
What about the implementation team?
I implemented this solution myself.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
VMware is expensive, from the baseline, initial investment. It depends, though, because if someone goes for ESXi—the latest version, ESXi Essential, or even the opensource—then it is not available in Microsoft. ESXi opensource is totally free, and the only features that aren't available are some API features. But if someone has a small office with less than 50 users, and they just need to run the hypervisor, then VMware is a free solution for that. If someone is considering the price and comparing Business ESXi with Hyper-V, if they already have an existing Windows license, then I would suggest going for Hyper-V because it's much cheaper. Aside from that, I would recommend going for VMware.
What other advice do I have?
I rate VMware a nine out of ten. VMware is fine. If someone has an office and they only need two or three servers, then I would recommend Hyper-V because they have a free instance for up to four servers. My recommendation would depend on someone's environment and budget, and totally depends on the size of their organization and server.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Helpful load balancing, reliable, and responsive technical support
Pros and Cons
- "The most important feature is the ability to balance the servers with Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS). It is a very useful feature and should be mandatory for vSphere to have but it is only available in the enterprise edition. It should be available in all versions."
- "We are provided with a mini dashboard that has been improved in the latest version but it still could be better. The monitoring is now available on the vCenter dashboard and the vROps has been added to the basic version that had to be purchased separately before. A complete dashboard has always been provided with some competitors, such as Nutanix."
What is our primary use case?
Previously, we were using the conventional physical server but we now use the enterprise version of VMware vSphere to virtualize all of our servers. All of the servers in our company are now virtualized servers. In 2016, we do not know that virtualized servers can be monitored, we have implemented monitoring for the virtualized systems and management allowing us to create DR for the solution.
What is most valuable?
The most important feature is the ability to balance the servers with Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS). It is a very useful feature and should be mandatory for vSphere to have but it is only available in the enterprise edition. It should be available in all versions.
What needs improvement?
We are provided with a mini dashboard that has been improved in the latest version but it still could be better. The monitoring is now available on the vCenter dashboard and the vROps has been added to the basic version that had to be purchased separately before. A complete dashboard has always been provided with some competitors, such as Nutanix.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for approximately seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is reliable.
How are customer service and technical support?
We have purchased the platinum technical support and they are responsive. They answer emails and telephone calls quickly.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used Hyper-V previously.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy but the security configuration is complex.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We are on a perpetual license for VMware vSphere and the price can be expensive compared to other solutions, such as Hyper-V. They should lower their price.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have evaluated Nutanix.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution to others. I advise those wanting to use the solution to test it out and compare it to competitors.
I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Sr. Systems Engineer at a non-profit with 501-1,000 employees
Highly reliable with great support
Pros and Cons
- "Very reliable with a great community."
- "Pricing is starting to get a little high-end."
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case of this solution is for server consolidation and high availability. We are customers of VMware and I'm a senior systems engineer.
What is most valuable?
The solution is highly reliable and suits our needs - it's highly popular. Support and the overall community are great. You can find a solution to any issues you have.
What needs improvement?
I think what they need to improve on is their pricing. They're starting to get a little high-end in terms of price compared to other solutions and the other solutions are catching up. Everything with VMware is very modularized and you can't just buy one piece and be done with it.
In my opinion, they would be wise to include a high availability out of the box type set up and not just for cloud, but site to site.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using this solution for close to 15 years.
How are customer service and technical support?
Technical support is excellent. They stay on the line and track down the problem. Usually it's on the first call. I have had some complex issues that took a day or two to resolve but for the most part, they're resolved in the first call.
How was the initial setup?
For the most part, the initial setup is pretty straightforward. If you start getting into the more complex setups, it can get more complex. For most use cases, it's just stick the disk in, let it run, and it sets most of itself up. It's almost out of the box ready.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
As far as I know, there is a standard licensing fee. It all depends on the options that you choose and what you need for each business. Every company that I've worked for has had a different pricing model and a different set of use cases. So pricing can range anywhere from $700-$800 per server core, all the way up $2,000-$3,000 per core.
What other advice do I have?
It's important to do your homework and make sure that it's the right solution for you. It's the same with anything, there are other options out there and you need to figure out what fits your business use case at the time.
I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.

Consultant senior en technologie de l'information at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Integrates well with containers, easy to scale, and certificate management has improved
Pros and Cons
- "VMware Tanzu (container) is the most valuable addition because you get an efficient solution to manage the VM and container in a single pane of glass."
- "The HR proxy is actually a little bit tricky to install and setup."
What is our primary use case?
I use vSphere 7.0.1 for a few reasons. My primary use case is for my lab, as vSphere offers a great versatility to use VDI, containers, distributed Storage, and SDN on the same hardware. I also use vSphere for non-production tasks on Rasberry Pie 4, and it offers a great deal for working with Docker on cheap hardware with a single management interface, vSphere.
My lab is composed of three white-box servers with vSAN, a 10 gig network, a local SAN, and all storage with SSD to deliver fast VM.
I also have vRealize operating to monitor all the VMware components.
How has it helped my organization?
The new version of vSphere now integrates with containers and offers some new improvements inside vSAN, like file sharing. So, with VDI there is no need to add a VM to build a file server.
With containers, NSX is no longer mandatory and with the VMware operation manager, you can get an integrated monitored platform that can scale easily.
You will get both hands on the wheel because all of the products are fully interconnected.
vSphere 7 also adds better certificate management than before (less certificate) and vSAN is also improved in terms of the space management for reconstruction, so you will need less reserved space for this kind of operation.
What is most valuable?
VMware Tanzu (container) is the most valuable addition because you get an efficient solution to manage the VM and container in a single pane of glass.
The integration of Tanzu inside the base version of vSphere, without the need to install NSX-T, is a great addition. Many IT people don't know NSX-T and NSX can cost a lot, so it could save a lot of money. However, you will not get the enhanced network function due to the lack of NSX-T.
The improvements to vSAN with a file server service is also a very valuable feature for many companies because they will be saving with the management of an NFS storage or a file server.
What needs improvement?
The HR proxy is actually a little bit harder to install and setup than other vmware products. So, direct integration with a vSphere distributed switch would be great addition, but you can bypass this setup if you chose an NSX-T switch.
The distributed switch, which is the networking part of vSphere, should have more functions. It should be like VMware NSX-T so that network management with VMware Tanzu will be better, although it is already good.
vSphere 7.0.1 is not available on ARM computers for production loads. I hope that it will become available soon so that we can run our production web server container on it, for example.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using VMware vSphere for a few months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This product is very stable and reliable. Now certificate management is also improved, the new version of vsphere has only 2 or 3 certificates so it is easier to manage.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
vSpshere 7, like the previous version, is easy to scale up and down. vSAN is the same, and Tanzu as well. vSan need less space for is own management and it is integrating some features like a virtual witness node that improve the scalability. Other new functions inside vsan like file sharing is also a great addition for vsan scalability.
How are customer service and technical support?
I always get great support from VMware technical team.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did use the previous version of vSphere and I upgraded for the Tanzu support and VSAN improvement.
How was the initial setup?
The initial installation of vSphere 7 is straightforward. If you try the ARM version, it is a little more complex but just follow the step-by-step process and it will work.
For Tanzu, the HR proxy is more complex because you will need to do some network design. For vSAN, VMware gives you a great tool to set your solution up easily.
What about the implementation team?
I'm a VM expert so my level of expertise is great. My solution is an in-house one.
What was our ROI?
The ROI is very fast due to virtualization, perhaps a couple of months.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
vSphere 7.0.1 offers a lot more than the previous version. Container support is the last great addition for VMware and it is worth the money you spend on it.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not evaluate other container solutions. For storage, I also use FreeNAS.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)

System Administrator at ON Semiconductor Phils. Inc.
Provides robust and highly available development and production environments
Pros and Cons
- "The vMotion in particular I think is the most valuable because this feature provides migrations of virtual machines in case you want to run do maintenance."
- "I would like to see VMware vSphere provide a centralized patch service on the VMware level, regardless of your operating systems."
What is our primary use case?
The entire production and development environments are running on VMware vSphere using the 6.0 and 6.5 versions with twelve-node clustered configurations. Two data centers were deployed to separate the production side virtual machines from those of test and development.
How has it helped my organization?
The deployment of Enterprise VMware vSphere architecture helps us provide a robust and high availability infrastructure because of the combined features of VMware vSphere and VMware vCenter such as HA, DRS and Fault Tolerance. This base metal virtualization is highly compatible with almost all of the IT hardware.
What is most valuable?
The vMotion in particular I think is the most valuable because this feature provides migrations of virtual machines in case you want to run do maintenance. This his feature comes hand-in-hand with other features of VMware like the DRS, which automatically load-balances the whole VMware farm based on the usage and recommendation.
What needs improvement?
Improve the patch and updates online and remove mandatory reboot, or move the virtual machine onto a physical host that needs patching/maintenance.
I would like to see VMware vSphere provide a centralized patch service on the VMware level, regardless of your operating systems.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for eleven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In my long experience, I have a single incident where our whole VMware farm went down. I can say it is very stable as long as the hardware is healthy.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is great. This solution is highly scalable and compatible with almost all IT hardware on the market.
How are customer service and technical support?
The support is very responsive and highly knowledgeable.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Prior to this solution, we used Oracle Virtual Machine and Xen Virtualizations.
How was the initial setup?
I used the profiling feature.
What about the implementation team?
I set up the system myself.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The license of VMware is a one-time payment and you can continue to enroll in support for troubleshooting and also administer the licenses.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did not evaluate other options before choosing this solution.

Cyber Security Engineer at Trend Micro
Offers a suite of software components for virtualization including ESXi, vCenter Server, and other software
Pros and Cons
- "The emphasis isn't specifically on a particular feature, but rather on the ease of use. For instance, when building a test lab or setting up an entire environment from scratch, VMware products are notably more user-friendly compared to alternatives like Nutanix. I've had prior experience with Nutanix. From my personal perspective, I found it easier to adapt to using VMware than when I started using Dynamics. This ease of use is a strong point. It's largely about how straightforward it is to navigate through VMware's user interface. In contrast, with Nutanix, there's a need to delve into smaller configurations and navigate vendor-specific settings. VMware, on the other hand, offers a more accessible management page. This difference primarily centres around usability and the overall user-friendliness of the interface."
- "Given that I've been using version seven, it seems that some of the bugs I faced during that version have already been addressed in subsequent updates. Although I haven't personally tested them yet, it appears that these issues have been resolved. In version seven, there was a problem with the network interface not responding due to certain configurations not being properly filtered. However, in version eight, this requirement has been minimized, so the mentioned bug is less likely to occur. Instead of solely addressing these fixes in newer versions, it might be beneficial for them to consider applying these improvements to the older versions as well. This approach could prevent users from feeling compelled to upgrade to version eight solely to avoid encountering the issue, and instead provide updates for version seven users."
What is our primary use case?
The focus is more on simulating various PM (Performance Management) products. This involves tasks like identifying bugs or testing new updates.
As for the workflow, it primarily revolves around working remotely due to the pandemic. Unlike having a physical lab where reconfiguration is feasible, I have taken advantage of VMware solutions, including VMware vSphere and related products. I have adapted them to match the specific configurations.

For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using VMware vSphere for sometime.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The case of scalability of this solution is easy in a hybrid setup so I would rate it nine out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
I lack substantial experience with technical support, as my past interactions mainly pertained to license-related matters. When it comes to addressing actual technical issues, I haven't had the opportunity to gain significant experience yet.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
I would rate the initial setup eight or nine out of ten because of its easy navigation and setup.The deployment takes almost half an hour. Essentially, having the network configuration prepared is crucial, as it often represents the most time-consuming aspect when setting up an environment, whether it's on-premises, in the cloud, or anywhere else. Once the network configuration is in place, the process becomes smoother and more straightforward.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's a common trend as many progressive IT firms are transitioning towards cloud or virtual environments due to factors like pricing, SMAX, and VMatter. In this regard, I would rate VMware as moderately satisfactory. I would rate it seven out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
In fact, individuals can explore these solutions firsthand since nearly all virtual environment products offer trial periods. For instance, I personally experimented with alternative virtual environments before ultimately opting for VMware. I would rate it nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Head of Service and Storage Infrastructure at GS2E
Strong performance, works well with large infrastructures but it is quite expensive
Pros and Cons
- "We primarily use vRealize to troubleshoot any issues that may arise with our virtual machines, which is the main reason why we believe this solution is excellent."
- "They must work on the price, as well as the technical support."
What is our primary use case?
It is primarily our server virtualization solution. We have approximately 2,000 servers, all of which are running VMware vSphere.
How has it helped my organization?
In terms of the benefits, I'll take you back to 2010, when we first implemented this solution. We only have physical servers, and we have a lot of projects because my company works in the energy industry.
We have many projects that could not be completed on physical servers because we have 2,000 servers.
If we were to do all of these projects on a physical server and our data center, we would have to travel all over the country. As a result, VMware aided us in server consolidation.
It aided us in server consolidation, and with VMware, we were able to provision applications for our customers very quickly. As a result, the time to manage was extremely short. So that is the advantage that we can find with VMware.
What is most valuable?
The product is extremely powerful.
We have had a module called vRealize for three years. We primarily use vRealize to troubleshoot any issues that may arise with our virtual machines, which is the main reason why we believe this solution is excellent. When a user has a problem, it does not have to be that his application is very slow or that it can't work. Using vRealize, we can determine which part of the solution is causing the problem and resolve it.
What needs improvement?
The cost is an area that could be improved. Today, there are many hypervisor solutions on the market that are less expensive and provide the same functionality. They share the same characteristics. I believe that one area where VMware can improve is in pricing, as we have found VMware products to be on the expensive side at times.
I'm only considering the VMware solution, with the cloud solution. I would like to see cloud integration, such as cloud service and cloud feature, in the vSphere license. That's exactly what I'm looking for.
In terms of cost, I believe there is room for improvement. They must work on the price, as well as the technical support.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using VMware vSphere for approximately 12 years.
Last year, we made some upgrades, and are now using the most recent version.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In terms of stability, we don't have any major issues with that product.
It is very reliable, and the product is very stable.
It is a strong product, and it is dependable. Most of the time we have not had any problems with this product. It doesn't happen very often, I believe the product is very good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
VMware vSphere is a scalable product. We had about five host servers, we gradually increased to 10, and now we have approximately 40 host servers running long VMware vSphere. It is simple to add a new server to the clusters.
We are a group of four administrators who are working on a solution. However, with VMware vSphere, we place software for the company, such as customers.
When I refer to the company, it's not the outside customers, I am referring to employees in company fields such as HR and accounting. We have 5,000 people working in our company, and they are all using the VMware vSphere software that we provide to them.
It is used on a daily basis because we are constantly confronted with the extension of results such as CPU, RAM, and storage. We use vSphere on a daily basis.
How are customer service and support?
We are pleased with VMware's vSphere global support.
If you give me a notation, on 10, 20, or something like that where the scale is set at 20, I will give them a 14 out of 20, because I believe they are no longer as good as they once were. The VMware support is now of lower quality. I will give them a 14 out of 20.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We started with VMware.
I already have VMware and Nutanix in my infrastructure.
How was the initial setup?
It wasn't difficult. I think I learned it about a month after I started, and I was able to deploy VMware vSphere.
This solution is being maintained by four administrators. We have 2,000 virtual machines, also known as VMs, and 40 host servers. We are a group of four people who do all of the patching and maintenance work.
What about the implementation team?
We had a consultant to help us with the initial setup.
What was our ROI?
Yes, I have seen a return on investment, but I am not the appropriate person to tell you about it. Our company is large in size. There are people working on it, doing economic studies to see if we can get a return on investment. What I can tell you is that there is a return on investment. But I can't tell you the specifics right now.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
This solution is quite expensive, but it provides the same functionality as its competitors.
Today, you have the Nutanix Hypervisor, which I believe is AHV and is also very good. However, because our infrastructure is so large, we have Nutanix servers that are similar to Hyperconverged, but we run VMware on them. However, we have some other sites where we have installed the Nutanix Hypervisor, which is AHV. And it is effective. And it's free if you buy the Nutanix bundle.
The license is expensive. It is powered by the CPU. The more CPU' you have, the more you have to buy.
What other advice do I have?
I'll say that if you want the vSphere solution for all virtualization, you should first look at the size of your infrastructure. If it is small, you don't have to go to, as I previously stated, Hyper-V or another solution. However, if you are starting with a medium or large size, you should use a solution like VMware because its performance is very strong. And, because we have a large infrastructure, we can see that it works very well. This is my advice to anyone looking for server virtualization software.
I would rate VMware vSphere a seven out of ten. It has been difficult for me to find a VMware engineer to work on my project. They don't seem to be very close to the customers, in my opinion. That is the main reason I gave this score of seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hey there! I just finished reading reviews I want to say about the high prices of VMWARE's VCP official training. I completely agree, the costs can be quite overwhelming. However, I found a great alternative resource at Pass4Success VMware Exam Questions that offers valid and affordable VCP official training. It's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for quality training without breaking the bank. Hope this helps!
