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 solution is very good at micro-segmentation."
"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."
"NSX is good in managing security or controlling the security and the access control for each single VM."
"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."
"NSX can reduce costs and has good service. It is easy for you and your users to use."
"The interface is intuitive enough."
"Though I haven't been working a lot on VMware NSX, it's good to have. What I like the most about it is that its console is good, and it doesn't take a lot of effort in terms of doing my daily tasks on it or what it's meant for. VMware NSX is still a preferred product in the market."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the firewall."
"Anything to do with storage needs improvement."
"If there are other solutions already in place, it can be difficult to implement."
"An area for improvement in VMware NSX is that it uses up more resources and is heavy on the network. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is more automation."
"We have been satisfied with the technical support. They were able to solve our problems. However, they could be faster."
"If you're worried that NSX is too complex, I would tell you to take another look. If you compare NSX to a similar solution you might find it to be a bit more complex. Usually, the guy that comes in to implement NSX isn't the network guy and will lack the knowledge for the program. He can lack the knowledge for this program and will therefore think it's complex. You need somebody with network experience."
"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."
"We have done three installations and we have not had any critical issues. The time it took for the installation was approximately two days. However, they should provide better documentation."
"VMware NSX only supports some platforms like KVM."
"The feature it can improve is essentially application-based load balancing with intelligent load distribution for applications that require redundancy and high availability."
