"The ability to scale from different clouds. At the moment, the scalability of the product is the number one thing that I saw."
"One significant advantage of VMware NSX is the ability to provide advanced security at the micro-level, focusing on securing applications and workloads rather than just the network structure or virtualization-based network security."
"It's a beneficial tool."
"It has reduced the number of people on the network team along with the system engineer involved in the security process. So, it is valuable."
"One of the big improvements between the NSX-V and NSX-T is that in NSX-T you are no longer dependent on V-Center anymore."
"NSX gives us the ability to put our network, NSX, onto any network there is, which allows us not to have to go to the network team to create networks our VLANs for networks."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the ease of use and its user friendly. For example, it is simple to change the subnet masks."
"It provides a single pane of glass. You can do the switching, routing, load balancing, IPS, IDS, etc. Everything is under one umbrella. So, there is no vendor dependency over there."
"The solution lacks a mobile version where small, manageable platforms can be developed."
"The web interface can be improved."
"The smaller units lack a lot of functionality."
"The UTM features can be improved. It should offer better functionality."
"There are limitations when you connect from multiple locations. It does not work as expected. If you have more than 400 users, then it will choke. It will not perform as expected."
"I heard about them for the first time just before I started working on Versa. They do have blogs for information, but they could publicize more about the documentation and architecture. It doesn't seem to have that much exposure, and they should work on their customer base more."
"We are thinking about how to make customers consolidate the loads to an SD-WAN network so that the customers can have bigger chunk from the SD-WAN side so that customers can have critical data be transferred with NPS VPN and non-critical data or some labeled traffic can be transferred by the SD-WAN network. I think it's a very important direction for digital transformation."
"Another thing that should be improved in Versa are their firewall features."

"We had some complexities implementing into the other parts of a network."
"The training costs a minimum of $3,000, which is expensive and should be reduced."
"VMware NSX only supports some platforms like KVM."
"It was stable for one year, there was no impact. In the last two months, we had two big incidents."
"VMware NSX can improve the migration tools from the older environments to the new environment. For example, the NSX-V has become a legacy solution, it's out of support, but customers are able to keep using it. For migration purposes, it's better for them to provide a proper tool. It will be easy to migrate from an old environment to a new one."
"I would like them to make integration with other vendors easier."
"There were some issues with finance and other accounting."
"It's not feature-rich."
