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."
"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 scalability is good."
"The easy of use with reduced space provides a better use of infrastructure"
"You see more responsiveness, especially now with having the HTML5 client. It feels like a much snappier product."
"The solution has high availability."
"The most valuable feature of VMware vSphere is the ability to work in a big system infrastructure."
"Our customers opt for virtualization because it's cheaper and better than non-virtualized solutions. VMware is probably the best on the market now."
"The stability of VMware vSphere is very good. It has high resiliency, it is one of the best solutions on the market."
"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."
"In addition, I think some of the backup features or the prediction features can be improved."
"I'd like to see a little bit more integration for VDI. I think that Composer servers, security servers, broker servers with connections, I'm not sure they are necessary at this point. Perhaps they could have a lot of those functions baked directly into the hypervisor. It seems to me that if the hypervisor is scalable and flexible enough, that the processor and compute can handle all of that. Maybe we eliminate those other components for VDIs and have more mixed workloads: server workloads and desktop workloads all in the same hypervisor."
"Monitoring information could always be improved."
"I'm using vSphere at a high level. Sometimes, I find it challenging to integrate different networks, but I think it's just my lack of knowledge."
"Both the price and the licensing fee are expensive, especially for our clients with a smaller workload."
"The biggest thing to improve is to have more self-service in the portals. I would like to receive more help through the web interface."
"The installation is complex and you need to have a good understanding in regards to what you are doing when you are setting it up."
