VMware NSX Stability

From a recoverability standpoint, if designed correctly and perhaps if VMware SRM is integrated with NSX-T, it would help the stability of workload availability.
From a routing perspective, NSX-T must be designed for redundancy with cross/overlapping uplinks from the edge nodes to your L3 upstream devices. Routing will be more reliable with default routes in place. Hardware compute and compatibility with the solution is critical for good communication via the nsx overlay network. Overall this solution is very scalable

It's stable. None of my customers have complained about it from a stability point of view. They complained about its cost a lot, but people are quite happy that it's a stable product.

Stability factors stemmed from existing ESXi host setup/configuration/performance and compute capacity; did not identify any stability issues with VMware NSX solution itself.

VMware NSX can be stable. However, before you start, you need a very thorough sturdy design. Once this is complete you can go on building your VMware NSX in your environment.
I went to VMware to look at their best practice designs, but they didn't apply to our environment. I had to take some parts of different designs and build my own that was exactly what was right for us.
Get the designs first, study them very thoroughly and after that, you can implement what will work for you.

The solution's stability is very good compared to its older versions. It is advisable not to go in a production environment with the latest version because it might sometimes have new features that can break.

So far, it's been very stable. I've used it since the very beginning and it's been very stable in the beginning, and as they've added more and more features, it's become more and more stable in the environment; that is, better in the environment because we're able to use more and more features within it.

This solution is stable and robust. We've done failover testing and it kept working.
For the most part, it's very stable.
The only hiccup is sometimes during an upgrade, there are hurdles that you can have during that time, but overall it's very stable.
View full review »There are elements that have been added to it over the years, but its history goes way back with vShield, and has been included in products like vCloud Director, etc. To be honest with you, I've deployed it over the past five to six years and I've had nothing but great success with it.

We've experienced some bugs with NSX's user interface. For example, sometimes we click something, and it's not clicking. But they put out a lot of updates and patches. Also, they've added some particular boards on the applications. So with every update, they make the user interface more stable.

This solution is robust and agile. It was stable for one year, there was no impact. In the last two months, we had two big incidents.
It is pretty good. It cuts down on duplication. Right now, I have tools in the lab, have tools in pre-prod, and have tools in production.
Right now and well in the future, if we implement it, we'll be able to have the same tool set be applied through all regions and transfer and not have duplication. It will outline and teach our users how to operate them. Therefore, we will have one set of tools, one set of instructions, and they can operate in all three environments.
