Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, IBM, Nutanix and others in Virtualization Management Tools."My experience with the solution's technical support was perfect. They are so knowledgeable, all of them. They don't take any chances."
"The most valuable features are its flexibility and the ability to move workload."
"The stability of VMware vSphere is very good. It has high resiliency, it is one of the best solutions on the market."
"VMware vSphere is user friendly. It is scalable and stable."
"I find that the Virtual Center Management, iSCSI support, and VMotion hot migration are very beneficial."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is vMotion."
"We use it to virtualize our server infrastructure. Virtualization has made it easier for us to manage our environment. We can manage it from location, the vSphere web client."
"The scalability has been good."
"Since it is riding inside of a multi-hardware environment, downtime is virtually nothing."
"When something breaks, it's not easy for us to fix. I'm running a banking solution at my company and when there's a problem, I need to be proactive and quick to resolve the problem immediately."
"The biggest problem in this solution is the incompatibility of some of the features with some of the drivers installed on servers. For example, if I want to install vSphere on an HPE server, the driver is really different from a Dell server or a Fujitsu server. I need to download different drivers and install them manually, which can be improved by VMware. They can offer a special image to match different servers. We face different problems when we install vSphere on an ESXi server and have different drivers on the storage. ESXi cannot detect different kinds of storage, and they should improve this. We updated our existing version to vSphere 7 in a private environment, but it seems that this version is not very stable. We are facing issues with restarting the host. In earlier versions, such as vSphere 6 or 6.5, we didn't have any such problems. It would be good if VMware can offer specific applications for mobiles to enable us to control the management of all servers by mobile. They should also improve the vCenter GUI because it is currently not compatible, and there are a lot of problems. Some of the options do not appear well in the browser. VMware should spend more time resolving the problems in the GUI."
"Stability and manageability need improvement."
"Both the price and the licensing fee are expensive, especially for our clients with a smaller workload."
"It would be good if the licensing cost of the solution could be cheaper."
"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It is not easy to upgrade VMware vSphere from an old version to a new version."
"The pipeline feature can be improved, as it doesn't allow for specific situations."
"One of the areas creating a crash is when you are cloning."
