If you had asked when it was NSX V, which was dedicated only for Hyper-V and VMware, I would have said they could open the door for all partners. At the moment, NSX T is complete. Migrating from V to T is very tricky, complicated, and there are a lot of parameters to account for. The pricing is also an issue; it's very expensive and changes all the time. VMware is not easy to negotiate with.

The ticket support response time from VMware could be improved. Often, callbacks are delayed, which can be problematic if the servers are in production.
A basic load balancer feature was present in a previous version, but the latest version only has an advanced load balancer. The vendor should integrate a basic load balancer in future versions. The advanced load balancer is mostly suitable for system integrators, but it is not usable for our company dimensions.
The network-extending capabilities for the physical environment need improvement. Instead of virtualization, the ability to add physical servers to the network could be enhanced.

SecOps does not work for us. Their SecOps is so infant, and it doesn't support AIX that we just can't use it. Unusable is unusable. So if someone gives it to me for free. I can't use it. The only good thing is they've thought about it, but to me, they've underwritten it and haven't given it the attention to be a real product.
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.

Since most people are very much used to physical networking, they find it difficult to use VMware NSX in the initial stage.
