Microsoft Virtual Server Reviews

I use the tool to reset servers. 

The most valuable feature is the tool's cheap cost. 

Microsoft Virtual Server should improve its network performance. 

I have been using the product for more than ten years. 

Microsoft Virtual Server is stable. 

We did the deployment in-house. 

I rate Microsoft Virtual Server a seven out of ten. 

We use this product for virtualizing all of our environment.

We have between 80 and 85 apps that run our core services. We are an insurance company and we have a lot of internal apps.

This solution helps us because our data center is in another part of the country, and we do not have to travel to work on it. I can do things remotely from my desk.

The most valuable features are monitoring, and the self-service that they have for a customized environment. 

The administration is very good.

The response time from technical support could be faster.

The price of this product could be better.

Our offices began using Microsoft Virtual Server about five years ago.

This is a stable product and we use it on a daily basis. For the most part, it works very quickly.

For our environment, the level of scalability is fine. We have approximately 50 users.

I would rate technical support a nine out of ten. If the response time were quicker then it might be perfect.

The initial setup was really easy.

We hired an integrator to assist us with the implementation and deployment.

It is a one-time cost and there are no licensing fees. 

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to hire external, trained professionals with the correct skills for these specific products.

In summary, this is a good product and although it has issues, they are minimal. From my perspective, I think that everything is going well.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I use the solution for application virtualization. We have deployed the tool in multiple locations.

The solution is easy to manage. It can be deployed easily. The product has improved our operational cost and efficiency.

Customization must be improved. The tool must provide more freedom to the customer.

I have been using the solution for 5 years.

I rate the product’s stability a 9 out of 10.

The product’s scalability feature has supported our growth well. We have different numbers of users on different sites. We have around 200 users. I rate the scalability a 9 out of 10.

The customer support is fine.

We have used physical servers before. We switched to Microsoft Virtual Server due to its cost and ease of management.

The initial deployment was complex. Now, it is straightforward. I rate the ease of setup an eight out of ten. The deployment can be done in days. The time taken for deployment depends on the infrastructure.

Microsoft Virtual Server is a low-cost solution. 

I will recommend the tool to others. My advice depends on the infrastructure someone is using. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

I use the solution in my company depending on our client's problems. My company has used Visual Studio Code based Modeler along with Microsoft Virtual Server.

In my company, we have been using Microsoft SQL Server on virtual machines to help us decide if we want to use the tool as a PaaS solution offering or if we want to use it as an offering meant for virtual machines. Microsoft SQL Server on a virtual machine is known as Microsoft Virtual Server.

Microsoft Virtual Server has already been improved since Microsoft Fabric is available. Microsoft SQL's data warehouse is available as a component within Microsoft Fabric.

Microsoft Virtual Server's cost was an area of concern. Microsoft Fabric and the shared costing structure have already mitigated the price-related shortcomings of Microsoft Virtual Server.

I feel Microsoft Virtual Server will be stopped in a couple of months or a couple of years, and it will be completely replaced with SQL Server data warehouse and Microsoft Fabric. Microsoft Fabric has unified all the technologies, like real-time analytics, with data warehouses and then with the use of Power BI on top of data warehouses. Microsoft plans to get rid of all the separate components and start pitching Microsoft Fabric as an alternate solution to all its different or related services offered, but it could take some time, and it will not be an overnight switch. The long-term plan for Microsoft is to unify all its services under Microsoft Fabric.

I have been using Microsoft Virtual Server for more than a year. My company has a partnership with Microsoft.

It is a stable solution.

The performance and scalability offered by the tool meet our company's expectations.

My company deals with small, medium, and enterprise-sized companies that use the tool.

The support provided for the product is satisfactory. If the product team gets involved, I rate the support a ten out of ten, but otherwise, I rate it seven or eight.

The product's initial setup phase was easy because of the documentation.

The time required to deploy the product depends on the requirements of the tool's customers. From site to site, requirements may vary, but I can say that the product can be deployed in a couple of minutes to a couple of hours.

The cost of the tool was an area of concern since users were forced to buy licenses for Microsoft Virtual Server and ADF separately. The tool's cost has been taken care of with the help of Microsoft Fabric and with a consolidated or unified interface, where the entire product serves as a SaaS offering for the user.

Amazon Redshift was a product that my company had tried, but it can't be compared with Microsoft Virtual Server.

The product is used for testing and development. The effectiveness of the product in the area of testing and development is something that depends on the problem faced by our company's client. Nowadays, our company prefers to do everything on Microsoft Fabric because it also includes Synapse Data Warehouse, which is Azure SQL Data Warehouse's alternative.

The most beneficial area of the product for virtualization needs stems from the fact that one of our company's customers could deploy it on an on-premises system. The tool had always caused issues in areas like security and maintenance, but the product's virtualization has helped as it offers a layer of protection on top of the virtual machines, making it easy to maintain, and in the future if a user wants to move away to a different offering, it is easier to do that on Microsoft Virtual Server.

When it comes to the integration capabilities, similar to the data warehousing capabilities offered by any other solution, the tool offers connection strings, and you have the ability to connect and pull the data, which is usually something that depends on the ETL tool, but Microsoft Virtual Server is quite compatible with the ETL tools, like ADF.

One person can maintain the entire solution.

If people plan to use Microsoft Virtual Server or any other services by Azure, they need to look into Microsoft Fabric since it is a tool with some nice offerings.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

We only use the VPN when we want to connect to our remote site. The VPN client or the branch will dial a VPN connection, and the connection is established. That's the time we have the link to connect to our branches.

Microsoft Virtual Server is a stable and easy-to-use solution.

The solution's user interface could be improved.

We have been using Microsoft Virtual Server for one year.

I rate Microsoft Virtual Server an eight out of ten for stability.

Microsoft Virtual Server is a very scalable solution.

The solution's initial setup is very complex.

We implemented the solution through an in-house team. It took us four hours to deploy the solution. We follow basic procedures to deploy the solution.

Users should get formal training before using Microsoft Virtual Server.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Virtual Server an eight or nine out of ten.

We use the solution for virtual machines.

The tool is perfectly stable. It was the only mature option when we were looking for a solution.

The product must provide easier rollouts. The booting of virtual servers must be made easier.

I have been using the solution for many years.

Ten people from our company are using the tool.

The initial setup was not straightforward. It was a bit of a pain.

The deployment can be done in-house. We required two people for the deployment and maintenance of the product.

We have a perpetual license for a specific server. The solution is very expensive.

I do not have much experience with server infrastructure. I recommend AWS to others. Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.

Microsoft Virtual Server is user-friendly.

The platform’s dashboard features could be better.

I rate Microsoft Virtual Server’s stability a seven or eight out of ten. Sometimes, we have to restart it while updating firmware every six months.

The platform has good scalability. We have more than 40 servers and 975 clients using it. 

We can refer to many YouTube tutorials for the platform’s setup procedures. It helps our executives from the IT department. It takes ten minutes to complete and requires a team of five executives for the configuration.

It is an expensive product.

I rate Microsoft Virtual Server an eight out of ten. It is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, as per my experience.

The tool's most valuable feature is its workload. Its integration with Microsoft products is good. 

Microsoft Virtual Server needs to improve its patching. It should offer us a review before updates. The solution should also improve its pricing. 

Microsoft Virtual Server is stable. 

The product is scalable. 

The tool's support is prompt. 

Microsoft Virtual Server's deployment is not so complex.

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.
