Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, IBM, Nutanix and others in Virtualization Management Tools."The ability to analyze my virtual infrastructure data against a rule base of 730+ rules has been the most valuable."
"One of the most valuable features that vSphere has is its HA and DRS protection, where it can simply make sure that all the machines are always where they need to be and how they need to be taken care of. We have a lot of servers and services for emergency services for police, fire, and the like. We have the ability to use DRS as Anti-Affinity Rules to make sure that those redundant server pairs always stay away from each other. But then, if anything would happen to one of them, we have HA to be able to come up and bring it right up and going again."
"We find the solution simple and efficient to manage."
"The connectivity is fantastic, and many functions can run together in one server. If you need to scale, we can continue to add components or modules. It's a beautiful virtual solution that has many advantages over physical hardware, where you have to use devices and wiring to connect all your projects."
"The most valuable feature is being able to VMotion and migrate easily, moving machines around on the host. I know DRS will take care of a lot about that, but there's still some manual intervention here and there, so the flexibility of it has been really good."
"It is absolutely simple and efficient to manage. We can bring in people who have never been exposed to vSphere or virtualized environments and they're still able to support it from a server standpoint. The training time as well as the adoption rate, for a junior technician or somebody coming right out of college, is very good."
"Overall, it is a pretty good solution. We do not have to worry about upgrading the versions that people use for our in-house software. We just create ThinApps, and as soon as they log in, they always get the upgraded version. This part really works well for us."
"The web console is the most valuable feature for me. Because no matter what happens with the server, I can still get to it with the web console."
"The solution is scalable."
"Having the ability to automate some things would be nice but is not a requirement with the product today."
"It lacks a snapshot feature."
"The support is good, but it's slow."
"Two improvements that I would like to see are higher resolution console modes for guests and easier switching between consoles."
"Stability-wise, there are some minor issues."
"Security and patch-related items need improvement."
"The initial setup is quite complex."
"The way that vSphere manages the alerts on the data machine is not easy to configure."
"VMware vSphere does not permit hard partitioning."
