Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Red Hat, SolarWinds and others in Network Automation."The features that I have found to be the most valuable are the collecting of statistics, reporting, and implementing changes to particular environments on a scheduled basis with no manual intervention."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the high bandwidth."
"Provides flexibility to deploy and have network virtualization on different types of firewalls."
"The microsegmentation allows me to sleep at night. My job is reducing risk, plugging security holes, and working with the automated layer security. Even if somebody spins up a new server, it has to have a tag in NSX."
"This is a good firewall and overall it is rich in features."
"The initial setup was straightforward. You just have to click it and follow the manuals."
"Firewall security is one of VMware NSX's vital features"
"The migration methods are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"NSX extends Layer-2 scalability on Layer 3, covering the vRO and extending the capability on Layer 3 by decapsulating using a new mechanism. NSX-V was designed to use with VMware products and Success 360, providing more flexibility toward different levels of cloud, containers, and components. NSX-T gives you the ability to stretch your network across different view locations. If you have multiple sites, you can connect them using NSX-T."
"Anything to do with storage needs improvement."
"The vendor should integrate a basic load balancer in future versions"
"There is room for improvement in VMware NSX's workload management, particularly in the orchestration layer and in managing workloads across multiple clouds."
"VMware NSX provides a lot of automation capabilities, but there is still room for improvement."
"The price could be better. The non-enterprise version of the product should also be improved. I would like VMware to expand beyond the network and provide some VLAN technologies and more. I think we have one, but it's more on the distribution side because it's more on the upper side of the network. I'm looking forward to that."
"Going through and getting more features sets from the routing protocols is definitely necessary for the future."
"We would like better integration with the standards on the market. For example, with OSPF, their integration in NSX is very low. It's not a full OSPF integration. It is too thin from a protocol perspective."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"We've have had good and bad experiences with them. We don't always find them to be so impactful. Sometimes the support guy isn't so on top of resolving the issue and it can take a while to sort out."
