"Valuable features include VHA, DRS, VMotion, and redundancy and failover; any DR situation."
"The most valuable features are that it's stable, easy to use, and it's flexible."
"It's not a particular feature, really, however, I can say that the solution is just easy to maintain, and makes it easy to backup all those VMs. We can easily save our data and we can deploy VM machines very fast and create the delivery of the server in a pretty simple, dynamic way."
"We have seen an improvement in uptime. The whole hardware lifecycle process is easier."
"Microsoft Remote Desktop Services could improve by having a better application for managing multiple sessions. There used to be one but they stopped supporting it."
"Microsoft should be more compatible with other operating system."

We are not implementing this solution for big tech companies."
"The solution is slower than other tools."
"Response time could be improved."
"Without a lot of physical RAM on the hardware, it's not very effective. The stability could be improved in cases like this."
"Sentencing has changed a lot."
"The hardware cost is high."
"The price is a big issue for us because the market is very competitive in our country, so we can't really push our VMware vSphere products because the customers will prefer to use something cheaper."
"The biggest pain point is probably the firmware management of the underlying hardware. It could be a lot better."
