There are a lot of open-source solutions on the market.

My company chose vCenter Configuration Manager since it offers the easiest configurations and management. My company took a few VMware courses. One needs to take the courses to understand and handle VMware and to know how to use it.

We tested OpenStack, but I think it's for more complex environments, and we should pay more money to experts who can maintain this infrastructure.

Before choosing vCenter Configuration Manager we didn't evaluate other solutions.

Some of our clients evaluate Nutanix. They go with VMware because it's an enterprise company, and most of my customers are enterprise. They want the full support of an enterprise company. It's supported through all the specs, not only the hardware but all the applications.

If you compare the performance between virtualization solutions, I think KVM is better than VMware. But in terms of disaster recovery and business connectivity, VMware has a better-developed software here.

Our company is a data center solution architect and consultant. We look for the best solutions for our customers and we try to find the best one for each project. It doesn't matter if that solution is from a small company or a famous company - we look for the best solution for configuring the situation.

We did not continue to look for other products after evaluating VMware.

I evaluated Hyper-V before choosing vCenter Configuration Manager. The difference between the two is the architecture, and how they deploy. Hyper-V would be better suited for small to medium-sized companies.

We didn't evaluate a competitor, we only work with VMWare.
