VMware vSphere Reviews

We use most of the VMware products primarily in server virtualization.

VMware vSphere has plenty of features.

I have been using VMware vSphere for approximately 20 years.

The scalability of the solution is excellent.

The customer service that VMware provides is good quality.

The installation is simple.

The price of the solution could be cheaper compared to others.

Though this is an expensive solution it has great functionality, do not try and go too cheap or it will end up costing you more in the long run.

 I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.

• High Availability
• vMotion
• Storage vMotion

One particular example is the ability to work less on weekends because of the possibility to patch during normal working hours.

The pricing.

I've used it since 2006.

We have not had any issue with deployment over the years.

No issues encountered.

We didn't use a previous solution to prior to vSphere.

It was very straightforward, no problem occurred at the set up stage,

It was all done in-house.

No other products were considered.

It's a simple to use solution, and along with fast implementation, you can install it and run it, so have fun.

We use it in the data centers of our customers for server consolidation and new deployments.

The ease of movement of these machines is the most valuable. It is very easy to move these machines between physical hosts. The fast deployment of services is another valuable feature.

Its price can be better. It is very expensive.

I have been using this solution for ten years.

It is very scalable. It is great in terms of scalability. We have 50 to 60 users in our organization.

Their technical support is great. I would rate them a ten out of ten.

In general terms, it is easy to deploy, but it depends on the size of the project. The deployment duration varies. A basic deployment doesn't take more than one hour.

It is expensive.

I would advise others to go ahead with this solution. It is a very functional product. Only its price needs improvement.

I would rate VMware vSphere an eight out of ten. 

We started using this just for virtualization, but now we have gone into creating private cloud features for our customers. 

Gathering all of the hosts together to create one single pool across the enterprise is a terrific feature.

It needs to integrate better between multiple modules. 

I would rate the scalabilty as an eight out of ten. 

The setup was easy. The deployment did not take much time, as long as it was properly planned. The planning must be from an experienced side and user-acceptance front. It should not take more than two months of time. 

We used system integrators. 

The pricing is a bit complex.

VMware alone cannot offer all the features that customers require. There are times when the differential cost of the customer is not feasible. In addition, there are times when the requirements, in terms of API, build up and the connectivity to the outside world is more important. People need to decide on their own whether this is a good solution or if an OpenStack solution is the better choice.
