The main challenge is upgrading from NSX V to NSX T. This upgrade requires considering many parameters that are not known by everyone. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.
The micro-segmentation function of VMware NSX is wonderful because this feature allows for the best control of every single entrance point of data packets. I would overall rate VMware NSX a nine out of ten. I would recommend others to use the solution.
VMware NSX has played a significant role in supporting your organization's efforts in automated network provisioning and creating multi-tenant networks, especially when integrated with vRealize Automation or other automation tools. We were able to create an automated orchestrated workload and manage IP assignments. I rate the product a ten out of ten.
Since most people are very much used to physical networking, they find it difficult to use VMware NSX in the initial stage. However, once you start using it, you'll be very much fond of the particular product. VMware NSX is very easy to manage. You can deploy the solution on the cloud or on-prem, depending on the customer's requirement. When changing from the physical to the virtual space, you have to plan the routing part. You'll have a hardening of networks in the physical space. However, when you bring it to NSX, everything is at the hypervisor level in the virtual space. That's one thing you will have to plan because a few critical applications might require a VLAN-backed network. They have a restriction that they can't move it to the overlay networks and must remain in the physical VLAN. We have to plan properly for migrations because improper planning can break the current network or operations. It would be good if users use all the features in the solution to have everything in one place. Users can access the web UI to manage security, load balancer, and VPN protection. Overall, I rate VMware NSX an eight out of ten.

This solution is really unusable from my perspective at this point. Overall, I would rate the solution a one of ten. We use so little of Red Hat Satellite. We use it for patching only. And I liked it better when it was the spacewalk equivalent, the informant thing. They're putting too much effort into the Virtu utilization and not enough into the day-to-day operations, for patching and stuff. Patching is a plugin as opposed to, like, the main product. Which is what we use it for. So we're actually writing our own at this point because it's so heavy right now. The old satellite was good. Not great, but good. This one is just way too much overhead and focused on stuff we don't use.
VMware NSX is a sophisticated solution utilized for micro-segmentation, network security, software-defined networking, and private cloud construction. It aids in the transition from physical to virtual infrastructure, ensuring efficient network virtualization and security of production workloads.
