We are currently running the vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler, which is actually automatic vMotion; we are running on it all the time. I recommend that those considering VMware vSphere carefully scale their environment and their needs. VMware vSphere is an industrial standard nowadays for the hypervisor environment and virtualization environment, but they have to carefully scale their environment and their needs. Scale and sizing is very important in the IT world, so they have to size their environment for the required licenses and features, and it's very expensive nowadays. They have to be careful about resizing. On a scale from one to ten, I rate VMware vSphere a seven.

Currently, I start AI with Proxmox and another server with Proxmox, so I do not use VMware vSphere for this. To use VMware now, you must be a very big company because it is too expensive to maintain. It is definitely enterprise level, and if not, there are lots of other possibilities that are less expensive and work perfectly. Red Hat also has its own advantages. Red Hat is nice, especially regarding containers. For containers, VMware vSphere is not as perfect as others because it is an add-on and a bit hybrid, and other solutions are better implemented. I would rate VMware vSphere a 9 because it has many features but also some missing elements. It is not as easy as it could be for containers and whatever hybrid solutions they have.
I am not interested to be a reference for Broadcom. I am using basically VMware vSphere and Cloud Foundation. They released a new version of the VMware vSphere solution on June 17, so I'm yet to explore that version completely. I am not using the latest version because it was only released 10 days ago, so we are just exploring it. Currently, I do not feel that there are complexities or challenges from a technical standpoint. I rate VMware vSphere a 9 out of 10.
Considering the current cost and licensing challenges, I would recommend looking into another product if possible. I rate VMware vSphere a six or seven out of ten overall.
On a scale from one to ten, I would rate VMware vSphere six or seven. If I feel that the requirement is best fit with VMware vSphere, then I suggest it. If not, I suggest other solutions.

VMware vSphere is a stable hypervisor. Competing hypervisors still face challenges, except for Nutanix, which requires changing hardware for hyperconvergence. VMware optimizes hardware and virtual machines better than others. Overall, I rate vSphere nine out of ten.
vSphere has the DRS site. We got the recovery site feature, but we haven't used it. It's good to use the high availability to be more than AWS. We have many weekly metrics running on these. Overall, I rate the solution an 8 out of 10.

VMware vSphere has helped us provide better services to our customers because we were able to provide them with stable service. The availability of our systems increased by using VMware products. The solution's security was adequate, but we were not using it extensively. The solution's High Availability is definitely the factor that comes into the picture because you cannot have downtime in today's IT world. VMware becomes a core strength of the product. It gives you the required availability, scalability, and stability for the environment. I have always been looking for a seamless cloud migration strategy, which has already been implemented. Now, you can easily migrate systems from on-premises to AWS or Azure cloud. It is easy to integrate VMware vSphere with other products. Many people using the infrastructure on-premise sometimes want to use the additional capacity in the cloud for additional functionality. The version I used earlier did not have the functionality to move the server from on-premises to the cloud seamlessly. In the newer version, they already have established that part. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Speaking about the application deployment process, I work at the L1 level in my company. In my company, the L3 is a different department that manages the application deployment process, and most of them go for tools apart from the ones under VMware to manage the VMs. I am only creating new VMs and assigning RAM space, and if something comes up, then I create new RHEL-based systems. When it comes to the application deployment process, my company manually deploys the applications. For automation purposes, our company uses Jenkins to collect the logs and provide a GUI with the help of a username and password to the end user, after which they can collect the logs from Jenkins. I work at an L1 level in my company. The integrations and infrastructure-related areas of the product are managed by another team in my company. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. Nowadays, people don't prefer to go for cloud-based solutions. Most of the companies prefer VMware as they want some level of security in the environment. VMware allows users to have in-house products. Most companies or banks are not moving over to cloud-based tools. VMware is used in banking systems. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
We use the solution internally and externally. We have different virtualization platforms. VMware is a mature solution. It's stable but a bit pricey. It doesn't have any competition. If we compare it to the full solution stack, it's a very mature solution. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

VMware vSphere's community is good. I recommend using the product if you are in the initial career phase and need to deploy a few virtual machines for testing purposes. For more extensive virtualization needs in a production environment, especially when dealing with many VMs, opting for VMware ESXi, its upgraded version, would be a prudent choice. I rate it eight out of ten.
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.
I would definitely recommend using the solution. I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I would advise to be sure that the functionality brought by VMware aligns with the good functionality because there are other products in the market like ISPs, KV M, Oracle, Microsoft, and some other stuff. And VMware is a well-known product. But to be sure that the functionality provided by VMware is needed.
This is generally a good and stable solution. It's about weighing up the cost against what the product offers for a specific use case. I rate this solution seven out of 10.

We are also using NSX and vSAN. We have been using NSX for three years. It's not strictly a cloud solution; it can be on-premises as well as in the cloud. It is, in essence, a network virtualization solution. It can be used for virtualizing the network, virtual routers, virtual switches, and virtual firewalls. Virtualization and on-demand networking are two of the benefits. On-demand networking is the best option if I can memorize it. If you need virtual switches, we can create them as well as routers. Virtualization would be our area of expertise. VMware vSphere is, in my opinion, one of the best in its class on the market. However, depending on the use cases, we could certainly recommend it. I would rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
We are with one of the service providers. I'm managing VMware. We are not working with the latest version of the solution. We're working with, for example, N-1. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We are very happy with its capabilities and don't have anything negative to say.

We are using VMware solutions. We are running the VMware standard edition. We also have VMware vSphere and VMware ESXi. We are running the latest version of VMware vSphere: 7.0. We started with version four of this software. I wouldn't say that there are features that I like the most about VMware vSphere, because it's just a normal management console. It's a default client management software for the virtual environment. It's just a console that we use. We have been using the software since we enrolled into the virtual CRR, so we are used to it. I can't say whether it's easy to use or not, because I've been using it forever. I can't do any comparison. To say it's easy to use or it's not easy to use would not suffice, because I've been using it for years, so I know how to navigate the platform. What I want to see, I can get easily from VMware vSphere. I don't recall the last time we installed the software, and even if it was a difficult process, I wouldn't know, because that would best be answered by the technical team, who keeps installing it for different lines. For me it was something that was done once. We only have one engineer who takes care of the deployment and maintenance of VMware vSphere. The software is only used by fewer than five people, e.g. just the administrators. We're not increasing the number of users, because there are only just a few people needed to man the environment. I would recommend VMware vSphere to others, particularly because when I contacted them about some issues, they assisted me diligently. From one to ten, I'm rating VMware vSphere an eight. When you talk about performance improvement of VMware vSphere, you have to look at other factors. You look at the whole infrastructure. You can't look at the software alone, because when it comes to performance, you also have to look at your hardware. You have to look at your storage. It isn't just the software, e.g. VMware vSphere, that you are using. For example, the last time we had an issue, it wasn't only because of the VMware side. It was also because of our storage, e.g. Our storage capacity was full, so we had to engage VMware. To improve performance, the VMware infrastructure as a whole should be improved, which means changing the storage, storage accessories, etc. VMware vSphere is only connected, and it's only a software that is running on the hardware, so to improve performance, we also need to talk about and look into the hardware aspects of the solution.

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.

In summary, this is a very stable solution and it has been that way for years. So far, it's been a very good fit. The only question is today, is it still worthwhile investing in on-premise solutions, or are cloud solutions at a level where we can move production nodes to it? That's basically our question and I'm guessing a question that a lot of other companies are asking themselves. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I've been using the VMware Workstation for eight years, while the VMware vSphere, I've been using for five years. This solution is deployed on-premises on a physical server for hosting services. Our public server is on a virtual environment. I'm very satisfied with VMware vSphere. Deployment of this solution took one day for the supervisor cluster and the virtual machine. I can't say exactly how many users are using VMware vSphere in our organization, but it's more than 1,000. We have a virtual mail server with 1,000 accounts. We have a website with approximately 200 to 300 visits per day. We also have an internet proxy used regularly by all the internal users to access the internet. We have not measured usage for the DNS server. We have no statistics for it. We have plans to use other tools from VMware like the vCenter. We have not yet explored it sufficiently, so we use it more. We have plans to use the vMotion to move virtual machines. My advice to people who plan to use VMware vSphere is to first pay more attention to the materials, e.g. the physical server, because all the virtualization performance resides and depends on that physical server. This means it has to have a good dimension, a good amount of memory and disk space, and a good network controller card. You have to choose a server which is physically robust, strong, and powerful, so you can deploy with the best performance in your virtual environment. I'm rating VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
I have two clusters, version 7 and version 6.7. Both are there. I'm not using the cloud-based version and other stuff, so I couldn't comment on it. On the on-premises version, however, it's a very good solution. It has a nice interface and nice everything and is a very stable product. We have never faced any issues yet. I'd recommend the solution to others 100%. I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

In Pakistan, for the most part, organizations are still catching up in terms of the cloud. There are no large data centers because cloud providers do not exist locally. Neither AWS nor Azure has a presence. The closest data centers to us are Singapore and Dubai. As such, the cloud is not very popular yet and most of our customers have on-premises deployments. We do expect this to change. My advice for anybody who is implementing this product, or any piece of software, is to have a reasonable level of knowledge in advance of the deployment. That is key in IT. If you are a consultant, as opposed to an end-user, then you need to have a deep knowledge of the product because there are circumstances where you have to go beyond the normal configuration. Sometimes you have issues that can only be resolved if you are well-equipped with the knowledge. I also recommend that people plan their deployment. VMware is a wonderful product and it will definitely provide you with the functionality to meet your technical requirements. You will be a very satisfied customer while using it, but the key is to know the product and plan things properly. Overall, this is a good product and I do not feel that there is much missing. It is the best virtualization platform available. I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

My advice to anyone considering using VMware vSphere is you have to find out the requirements. You have to do a very good job finding the requirements so that the scoping and provisioning of the resources are okay. That way you don't have later have to be constantly changing the configuration. It is good to spend some time doing requirements and finding out the loads, etc... that you are going to have to handle. Generally, VMware vSphere is not perfect, but it's okay. On a scale of one to ten, I will give it an eight. You get used to the interface. The pricing is getting cheaper, but it depends. Anyway, it is a good product.

I don't need to give any advice - this product sells itself. My recommendation to anyone considering VMware vSphere is that if you need to virtualize your environment, you will buy this solution for sure. But you have to have the servers before buying the license. You can first install it for free on a demo, or you can get the virtual environment to try the solution. But it doesn't need any advice, it is quite simple. After working on this solution, I have joined the official course for vSphere and I took the certificate, so it allowed me to know all the features in this product. On a scale of one to ten, not to be extreme, but I would give VMware vSphere a nine.
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.
I rate vSphere 10 out of 10. It's perfect. I know some people are very conservative and don't want to even mess with them, but I would argue that it's a way to avoid risking physical installations or making mistakes in real life. You can do all your testing virtually.

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.
I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. I'd recommend the solution. Most people cannnot ignore VMware unless they are looking for something very, very, very, very minimal. It's best in class.
I do not prefer the newest version because of the bulk that it adds to ThinApp, especially with Windows 10 operating system. If they can find a way around that, it would be really good. Considering the returns and the number of users for the ThinApps that we create using vSphere, I would rate VMware vSphere a nine out of 10.
For now, I would go with VMware for the Windows and Linux environment and do Kubernetes as a new island in the chain for containers. For most organizations, the ideal is the number of other users of a solution, because they're the ones that find the problems before you. Going off into some experimental environment may sound great and you might have a good initial experience, but if you're going to be the only person walking the minefield, it may not be a good ending. I rate VMware nine out of 10.

The amount of money you spend on licenses annually might be less somewhere else. For a medium enterprise, if you want a cross-platform sort of initial hypervisor I would say yes, VMware is a good option. Of course, there's always something better than VMware as well. For example, Nutanix is way ahead if you are a big enterprise. Overall, I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten. If it was less expensive, it would basically be perfect.

If you don't have a good understanding at the beginning, you could find yourself in situations where you're not getting the actual return on the solution because you're not managing it properly.

If you want 100% utilization of your hardware, you should definitely use it. There is also network virtualization and storage virtualization, but it would be quite cheaper if you go for physical storage. If you are a medium to large organization, the hybrid environment is also there. If you are a small organization, you should go for the cloud because if your utilization is not much, it is always recommended to go for the cloud. Otherwise, go for VMware virtualization. It is 100% useful for an organization. VMware is bringing a lot of features. They are quite ahead in terms of features. They have containerization, monitoring, operational manager, and all required features. vSAN and storage utilization are also there. They are bundling everything. Their Research and Development is very good. I would rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
We are implementors and our customers don't sometime have any dedicated IT guy. But, as vSphere works well once implemented, there's relativally less to do.

I would recommend VMware vSphere to potential buyers. I will always do that. It's highly recommended to go with the entire vSphere Cloud Suite rather than only just going with the Hypervisor. But if you go with the entire suite, it's really wonderful. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate VMware vSphere an eight.
I recommend this solution to most of my customers because it is very stable, and it has a lot of good features. In comparison to other solutions, I prefer to use VMware. I also recommend Hyper-V, but VMware vSphere is my first choice. I would rate VMware vSphere an eight out of ten.

VMware vSphere is my preferred hypervisor. It always has been, and always will be. I suggest using it, and not hesitating. I'm sure that they're working on great stuff to enhance this product that I can't even think of, but from my perspective, everything that they do today is great. I don't know what they could possibly do to make my life easier, but I'm sure they'll come up with something. I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

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.
Just follow the documentation. It's very useful and informative. Before you implement, check the licensing, to see if the license is okay and the compatibility metrics are okay. I would rate VMware vSphere 9 out of 10.

We're a partner with VMware. We are a data center service provider. We sell these services to customers. We are not using it for ourselves only. We are also selling the solution to our customers. In that sense, there's always a plan to increase vSphere. Overall, we're pretty satisfied with the solution. I'd rate it a seven out of ten.

We still have a little bit of a legacy in 5.5, however, that is just hardware related. It doesn't support the newer version. We trying to rectify that as soon as possible. I would recommend the solution to other companies. Overall, I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

We don't have a business relationship with the product. We're just customers. If we speak about version five or plus five, I'm pretty knowledgeable about those as I was a network administrator back then. However, version six, version seven, I deal with these versions maybe two times per year, so I'm not very good on them. Overall, I'd rate them at an eight out of ten, mostly due to the high pricing and container management.

We're just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with vSphere. We aren't using the latest version of the solution. The near version is sufficient for us and it's solving our requirements. Overall, I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. While I would recommend it due to the fact that it's solving my problems, I am evaluating other products that may be better. There may be an open-source option that could also work for us. That said, this product is great in that we are using it hassle-free.

I would definitely recommend this solution to others. It is a very good product. It is very stable, so your infrastructure uptime can be better. The manual cost of your infrastructure can be less if you use vSphere. I would rate VMware vSphere an eight out of ten.
Overall, I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. Everything it does, it does very well, even among all of the competition that exists in India. However, price-wise, for us, it's not ideal. I haven't explored much, however, from what I have seen, they really do cover everything.
VMware vSphere is a versatile virtualization platform known for its ease of use, flexibility, and high availability. It supports seamless migration, optimal resource allocation, and centralized management, making it highly suitable for diverse infrastructure needs.
VMware vSphere is widely adopted for its virtualization capabilities that enhance hardware efficiency and ensure minimal downtime through features like High Availability and Distributed Resource Scheduler. Despite criticisms about...
We are currently running the vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler, which is actually automatic vMotion; we are running on it all the time. I recommend that those considering VMware vSphere carefully scale their environment and their needs. VMware vSphere is an industrial standard nowadays for the hypervisor environment and virtualization environment, but they have to carefully scale their environment and their needs. Scale and sizing is very important in the IT world, so they have to size their environment for the required licenses and features, and it's very expensive nowadays. They have to be careful about resizing. On a scale from one to ten, I rate VMware vSphere a seven.
Currently, I start AI with Proxmox and another server with Proxmox, so I do not use VMware vSphere for this. To use VMware now, you must be a very big company because it is too expensive to maintain. It is definitely enterprise level, and if not, there are lots of other possibilities that are less expensive and work perfectly. Red Hat also has its own advantages. Red Hat is nice, especially regarding containers. For containers, VMware vSphere is not as perfect as others because it is an add-on and a bit hybrid, and other solutions are better implemented. I would rate VMware vSphere a 9 because it has many features but also some missing elements. It is not as easy as it could be for containers and whatever hybrid solutions they have.
I am not interested to be a reference for Broadcom. I am using basically VMware vSphere and Cloud Foundation. They released a new version of the VMware vSphere solution on June 17, so I'm yet to explore that version completely. I am not using the latest version because it was only released 10 days ago, so we are just exploring it. Currently, I do not feel that there are complexities or challenges from a technical standpoint. I rate VMware vSphere a 9 out of 10.
I recommend VMware vSphere technically, but not due to its pricing. I rate the overall solution as 10 out of 10.
Considering the current cost and licensing challenges, I would recommend looking into another product if possible. I rate VMware vSphere a six or seven out of ten overall.
VMware vSphere is rated at ten on a scale of one to ten. It is a perfect solution.
On a scale from one to ten, I would rate VMware vSphere six or seven. If I feel that the requirement is best fit with VMware vSphere, then I suggest it. If not, I suggest other solutions.
VMware vSphere is a stable hypervisor. Competing hypervisors still face challenges, except for Nutanix, which requires changing hardware for hyperconvergence. VMware optimizes hardware and virtual machines better than others. Overall, I rate vSphere nine out of ten.
I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. It doesn't have any significant security features, and you can only get it through add-ons.
I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
vSphere has the DRS site. We got the recovery site feature, but we haven't used it. It's good to use the high availability to be more than AWS. We have many weekly metrics running on these. Overall, I rate the solution an 8 out of 10.
VMware vSphere has helped us provide better services to our customers because we were able to provide them with stable service. The availability of our systems increased by using VMware products. The solution's security was adequate, but we were not using it extensively. The solution's High Availability is definitely the factor that comes into the picture because you cannot have downtime in today's IT world. VMware becomes a core strength of the product. It gives you the required availability, scalability, and stability for the environment. I have always been looking for a seamless cloud migration strategy, which has already been implemented. Now, you can easily migrate systems from on-premises to AWS or Azure cloud. It is easy to integrate VMware vSphere with other products. Many people using the infrastructure on-premise sometimes want to use the additional capacity in the cloud for additional functionality. The version I used earlier did not have the functionality to move the server from on-premises to the cloud seamlessly. In the newer version, they already have established that part. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Speaking about the application deployment process, I work at the L1 level in my company. In my company, the L3 is a different department that manages the application deployment process, and most of them go for tools apart from the ones under VMware to manage the VMs. I am only creating new VMs and assigning RAM space, and if something comes up, then I create new RHEL-based systems. When it comes to the application deployment process, my company manually deploys the applications. For automation purposes, our company uses Jenkins to collect the logs and provide a GUI with the help of a username and password to the end user, after which they can collect the logs from Jenkins. I work at an L1 level in my company. The integrations and infrastructure-related areas of the product are managed by another team in my company. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. Nowadays, people don't prefer to go for cloud-based solutions. Most of the companies prefer VMware as they want some level of security in the environment. VMware allows users to have in-house products. Most companies or banks are not moving over to cloud-based tools. VMware is used in banking systems. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
We use the solution internally and externally. We have different virtualization platforms. VMware is a mature solution. It's stable but a bit pricey. It doesn't have any competition. If we compare it to the full solution stack, it's a very mature solution. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.
In instances where organizations operate on robust infrastructures and budget constraints are not a significant concern, my usual recommendation is VMware. This is especially true for financial companies that prioritize investing in and managing critical software solutions without financial constraints. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.
VMware vSphere's community is good. I recommend using the product if you are in the initial career phase and need to deploy a few virtual machines for testing purposes. For more extensive virtualization needs in a production environment, especially when dealing with many VMs, opting for VMware ESXi, its upgraded version, would be a prudent choice. I rate it eight out of ten.
I recommend VMware vSphere and rate it an eight out of ten.
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.
I would definitely recommend using the solution. I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I would advise to be sure that the functionality brought by VMware aligns with the good functionality because there are other products in the market like ISPs, KV M, Oracle, Microsoft, and some other stuff. And VMware is a well-known product. But to be sure that the functionality provided by VMware is needed.
This is generally a good and stable solution. It's about weighing up the cost against what the product offers for a specific use case. I rate this solution seven out of 10.
I would rate it 9.5 out of 10.
I would rate VMware vSphere a 10 out of 10.

I would recommend this solution to others. I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
I can recommend this solution. I would rate it at least an eight out of 10.
We are also using NSX and vSAN. We have been using NSX for three years. It's not strictly a cloud solution; it can be on-premises as well as in the cloud. It is, in essence, a network virtualization solution. It can be used for virtualizing the network, virtual routers, virtual switches, and virtual firewalls. Virtualization and on-demand networking are two of the benefits. On-demand networking is the best option if I can memorize it. If you need virtual switches, we can create them as well as routers. Virtualization would be our area of expertise. VMware vSphere is, in my opinion, one of the best in its class on the market. However, depending on the use cases, we could certainly recommend it. I would rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
We are with one of the service providers. I'm managing VMware. We are not working with the latest version of the solution. We're working with, for example, N-1. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We are very happy with its capabilities and don't have anything negative to say.
VMware vSphere is a good solution, but we are looking for ACI opportunities. My advice to others is when you are looking for a solution, look for a vendor in the county you live in. I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
We are using VMware solutions. We are running the VMware standard edition. We also have VMware vSphere and VMware ESXi. We are running the latest version of VMware vSphere: 7.0. We started with version four of this software. I wouldn't say that there are features that I like the most about VMware vSphere, because it's just a normal management console. It's a default client management software for the virtual environment. It's just a console that we use. We have been using the software since we enrolled into the virtual CRR, so we are used to it. I can't say whether it's easy to use or not, because I've been using it forever. I can't do any comparison. To say it's easy to use or it's not easy to use would not suffice, because I've been using it for years, so I know how to navigate the platform. What I want to see, I can get easily from VMware vSphere. I don't recall the last time we installed the software, and even if it was a difficult process, I wouldn't know, because that would best be answered by the technical team, who keeps installing it for different lines. For me it was something that was done once. We only have one engineer who takes care of the deployment and maintenance of VMware vSphere. The software is only used by fewer than five people, e.g. just the administrators. We're not increasing the number of users, because there are only just a few people needed to man the environment. I would recommend VMware vSphere to others, particularly because when I contacted them about some issues, they assisted me diligently. From one to ten, I'm rating VMware vSphere an eight. When you talk about performance improvement of VMware vSphere, you have to look at other factors. You look at the whole infrastructure. You can't look at the software alone, because when it comes to performance, you also have to look at your hardware. You have to look at your storage. It isn't just the software, e.g. VMware vSphere, that you are using. For example, the last time we had an issue, it wasn't only because of the VMware side. It was also because of our storage, e.g. Our storage capacity was full, so we had to engage VMware. To improve performance, the VMware infrastructure as a whole should be improved, which means changing the storage, storage accessories, etc. VMware vSphere is only connected, and it's only a software that is running on the hardware, so to improve performance, we also need to talk about and look into the hardware aspects of the solution.
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.
I can recommend vSphere without hesitation. I would rate it an eight out of ten.
VMware vSphere are leaders in virtualization. The capital investment is high, but it is efficient. I would rate it a ten out of ten.
In summary, this is a very stable solution and it has been that way for years. So far, it's been a very good fit. The only question is today, is it still worthwhile investing in on-premise solutions, or are cloud solutions at a level where we can move production nodes to it? That's basically our question and I'm guessing a question that a lot of other companies are asking themselves. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've been satisfied with its general capabilities so far.
I would absolutely recommend this solution. I would rate it a nine out of 10.
I've been using the VMware Workstation for eight years, while the VMware vSphere, I've been using for five years. This solution is deployed on-premises on a physical server for hosting services. Our public server is on a virtual environment. I'm very satisfied with VMware vSphere. Deployment of this solution took one day for the supervisor cluster and the virtual machine. I can't say exactly how many users are using VMware vSphere in our organization, but it's more than 1,000. We have a virtual mail server with 1,000 accounts. We have a website with approximately 200 to 300 visits per day. We also have an internet proxy used regularly by all the internal users to access the internet. We have not measured usage for the DNS server. We have no statistics for it. We have plans to use other tools from VMware like the vCenter. We have not yet explored it sufficiently, so we use it more. We have plans to use the vMotion to move virtual machines. My advice to people who plan to use VMware vSphere is to first pay more attention to the materials, e.g. the physical server, because all the virtualization performance resides and depends on that physical server. This means it has to have a good dimension, a good amount of memory and disk space, and a good network controller card. You have to choose a server which is physically robust, strong, and powerful, so you can deploy with the best performance in your virtual environment. I'm rating VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
I have two clusters, version 7 and version 6.7. Both are there. I'm not using the cloud-based version and other stuff, so I couldn't comment on it. On the on-premises version, however, it's a very good solution. It has a nice interface and nice everything and is a very stable product. We have never faced any issues yet. I'd recommend the solution to others 100%. I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.
I would recommend this solution to others. It is one of the best tools. I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
I would recommend this solution to others who are considering it. It is quite simple to use. The installation is simple and it is stable. I would rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
We're using version seven or thereabouts. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. I would recommend it to other users and companies.
I rate VMware vSphere seven out of 10.
I rate VMware vSphere nine out of 10. It does what we need it to do, and works fine. There aren't any additional features that we need at this time.
In Pakistan, for the most part, organizations are still catching up in terms of the cloud. There are no large data centers because cloud providers do not exist locally. Neither AWS nor Azure has a presence. The closest data centers to us are Singapore and Dubai. As such, the cloud is not very popular yet and most of our customers have on-premises deployments. We do expect this to change. My advice for anybody who is implementing this product, or any piece of software, is to have a reasonable level of knowledge in advance of the deployment. That is key in IT. If you are a consultant, as opposed to an end-user, then you need to have a deep knowledge of the product because there are circumstances where you have to go beyond the normal configuration. Sometimes you have issues that can only be resolved if you are well-equipped with the knowledge. I also recommend that people plan their deployment. VMware is a wonderful product and it will definitely provide you with the functionality to meet your technical requirements. You will be a very satisfied customer while using it, but the key is to know the product and plan things properly. Overall, this is a good product and I do not feel that there is much missing. It is the best virtualization platform available. I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
My advice to anyone considering using VMware vSphere is you have to find out the requirements. You have to do a very good job finding the requirements so that the scoping and provisioning of the resources are okay. That way you don't have later have to be constantly changing the configuration. It is good to spend some time doing requirements and finding out the loads, etc... that you are going to have to handle. Generally, VMware vSphere is not perfect, but it's okay. On a scale of one to ten, I will give it an eight. You get used to the interface. The pricing is getting cheaper, but it depends. Anyway, it is a good product.
It's quite stable, has good support available, and is a mature product. I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
I don't need to give any advice - this product sells itself. My recommendation to anyone considering VMware vSphere is that if you need to virtualize your environment, you will buy this solution for sure. But you have to have the servers before buying the license. You can first install it for free on a demo, or you can get the virtual environment to try the solution. But it doesn't need any advice, it is quite simple. After working on this solution, I have joined the official course for vSphere and I took the certificate, so it allowed me to know all the features in this product. On a scale of one to ten, not to be extreme, but I would give VMware vSphere a nine.
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.
I rate vSphere 10 out of 10. It's perfect. I know some people are very conservative and don't want to even mess with them, but I would argue that it's a way to avoid risking physical installations or making mistakes in real life. You can do all your testing virtually.

Regarding this solution, vSphere is the gold standard. It has been there for 15 years, and you're not going to find people who are dissatisfied with vSphere. You're not going to find people complaining about vSphere. The only thing you will find is when we talk about things like VxRail, things like that, where issues can come. vSphere by itself, I can't think of anybody who's not happy with it. I would rate vSphere a ten out of ten. You're not going to find anything better.

The vSphere serves as the system's control center for managing virtual machines (VMs). VMware vSphere is present in all installations. Our solutions are all deployed on-premises. As a company, we advise, supply, and install products for our clients. We provide two solutions, one of which is Sangfor and the other is VMware. As a reseller of vSphere, I would recommend this solution to anyone who is interested in using it. I would rate VMware vSphere an eight out of ten.

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.
I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. I'd recommend the solution. Most people cannnot ignore VMware unless they are looking for something very, very, very, very minimal. It's best in class.
I would recommend this solution to others. It is considered to be a leader within the industry. I would rate VMware vShpere an eight out of ten.
I do not prefer the newest version because of the bulk that it adds to ThinApp, especially with Windows 10 operating system. If they can find a way around that, it would be really good. Considering the returns and the number of users for the ThinApps that we create using vSphere, I would rate VMware vSphere a nine out of 10.
For now, I would go with VMware for the Windows and Linux environment and do Kubernetes as a new island in the chain for containers. For most organizations, the ideal is the number of other users of a solution, because they're the ones that find the problems before you. Going off into some experimental environment may sound great and you might have a good initial experience, but if you're going to be the only person walking the minefield, it may not be a good ending. I rate VMware nine out of 10.
My advice to those wanting to implement the solution is to make sure they read and know exactly what the solution does, and if there were updates from the previous version they have used, understand the changes before implementing. I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
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.
The solution is mostly deployed on-premises, although we also have cloud deployments. This product is suitable for a company of any size. The solution rates competitively against Nutanix and Microsoft. Overall, I feel it to be a pretty proven platform, although the underlying platform, or the management and features that surround it, are of secondary importance. BDI is the main focus. I rate VMware vSphere as an eight out of ten.
I would recommend this solution any day. I would rate VMware vSphere a nine out of 10. It is excellent.
I don't find anything that I think it would be a bottleneck or any challenge. I've been using it for so many years. It's a robust product, and I don't see anything lacking. I would advise potential users to go for it. It's something you can rely on. It's very robust and doesn't break if you implement it correctly. It actually gives you peace of mind. On a scale from one to ten, I would give VMware vSphere an eight.
I would recommend this solution to others. If you use VMware, then you need to use vSphere to manage the clusters. I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.

We're just customers and end-users. We don't have any business relationship with VMware. We use the latest version of the solution. I can't speak to the exact version number. We're very happy with the solution overall. I'd rate it at a nine out of ten. Using this product is a no-brainer. It's a really easy product to use. If you're looking at simply a VM or anything similar or anything cloud-based, it's pretty much exactly what you need.
I am a consultant and reseller. My advice to others who are considering implementing the solution is they have a good partner. I rate VMware vSphere as a seven out of ten.
My advice to small to large-scale enterprises companies wanting to move to virtualization, vSphere is highly recommended for effective cost savings. The future is in virtualization, the industries are moving in that direction. Everything is in virtualization, such as networks, storage, and desktop applications. We can reduce the data center space, power cooling, and hardware lifecycle. However, the licensing costs are expensive. I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
I would recommend this solution to others. I rate VMware vSphere a nine out of ten.
I personally do not recommend Hyper-V based on my experience, but I can recommend others to also look at Proxmox. There is also a solution from IBM. They are, for sure, very good contenders. I would rate VMware vSphere a nine out of 10. It satisfies our needs.
VMware vSphere is user-friendly and easy to implement, so I will recommend it. I would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten.
We're just customers and end-users. I would recommend the solution to other organizations, so long as they've got the money. If you don't have the money you probably want to look at things that are open source. It's not a one size fits all kind of product. I say this because of the licenses. The amount of money you spend on licenses annually might be less somewhere else. For a medium enterprise, if you want a cross-platform sort of initial hypervisor I would say yes, VMware is a good option. Of course, there's always something better than VMware as well. For example, Nutanix is way ahead if you are a big enterprise. Overall, I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten. If it was less expensive, it would basically be perfect.
I'd recommend the solution to other users and companies. Overall, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. I would say that we are quite happy with its capabilities overall.
If someone is starting new with VMware, it is important that you either onboard someone who has experience with it or you ramp up the knowledge of your IT operations staff. It is far-reaching and complex and requires a good understanding to manage it properly. If you don't have a good understanding at the beginning, you could find yourself in situations where you're not getting the actual return on the solution because you're not managing it properly. The knowledge gap at the beginning has to be covered quite thoroughly. I would rate VMware vSphere an eight out of ten.

If you want 100% utilization of your hardware, you should definitely use it. There is also network virtualization and storage virtualization, but it would be quite cheaper if you go for physical storage. If you are a medium to large organization, the hybrid environment is also there. If you are a small organization, you should go for the cloud because if your utilization is not much, it is always recommended to go for the cloud. Otherwise, go for VMware virtualization. It is 100% useful for an organization. VMware is bringing a lot of features. They are quite ahead in terms of features. They have containerization, monitoring, operational manager, and all required features. vSAN and storage utilization are also there. They are bundling everything.
