NSX is a great product once it's fully set up and you get used to it. It does help to reduce both CapEx and OpEx in the long term but the switch to NSX and adaptation are not very seamless and it might take quite some time. For all the people considering NSX, I recommend hopping on the bandwagon as long as you have business needs that you think NSX might meet. The product is still new and needs to evolve. That will happen much easier if more people embrace new technologies despite the learning curve that usually comes with adopting them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We mainly use NSX for high-level orchestration and load balancing. The system provides very good features for redundancy and enables us to have a solid infrastructure that will make the business continuity plan to get in fifth gear very quickly if need be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Internal routing of VXLans (virtual network isolated from the physical network) without the use of switches, as an attractive virtual machine on the same host. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are managing the VMware enviornment , go for the NSX support. It offers tremendous services at a glance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As per my practical knowledge and benefits utilized in enviornment, Below are the benefits.

1) Bridging Layer 2 ‒ NSX for vSphere offers VXLAN to Layer 2 VLAN bridging capabilities. The

bridge runs on the ESXi host where the distributed logical router control VM is located. Multiple

bridges are supported per distributed logical router. Layer 2 bridging provides an effective means

of migrating existing workloads with static IP addresses from an existing physically defined VLAN

to a software-defined virtual network. However, the implementation of Layer 2 bridging increases

the complexity of network troubleshooting and blurs the boundary between virtually defined

networks and physically defined networks.

2) Routing Layer 3 ‒ The NSX Edge gateway interacts with the physical network in the same way as

a physical routing device and has the same logical and physical properties as a physical router.

From an operational perspective, this simplifies network troubleshooting and issue diagnosis

compared to using the distributed logical router interface, which must instantiate a logical

distributed routing interface to a single physical interface for the physical network interoperability.

The NSX Edge gateway supports equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) routing. This provides the solution

scalability to support increasing amounts of North-South traffic over time, as the number of workloads and

client side traffic on the virtual networks increases.

3)It offers semmless DFW rule creation to limit the traffic from source to destinations and vice versa Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In becoming a VMware organization, the logical question was how do we secure east west traffic between servers? Best practice is to put it closest to the source and that made NSX-T Data Center the logical choice as it does it at the hypervisor level before the packets even hit the wire. The second conversation was how can we increase flexibility and speed to implement networks. By utilizing the routing capabilities of NSX-T it gave us the ability to route within the VMware environment and prevent unnecessary hair-pinning of traffic. It also positioned us for multi-tenancy as we expand services outside of simply IT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If a customer is not in a position to have stretched VLANs on primary and secondary datacenter site i would recommend using NSX. When using with other VMware products (Automation, Site Recovery Manager and Replication) it is a very useful tool to create DR scenarios tailored on a specific service needs. In my case I had the opportunity to test Zerto as well in creating and carrying out live and test failovers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We managed to deploy VLANs across physically dispersed datacenters that enabled us to configure DR solutions tailored on different service solutions. Addon that came from Zerto is the possibility to create DR scenarios in a heterogenous infrastructure (VMware, HyperV zOS) which would not have been possible with only VM ware set of tools.

it is good to work with the NSX. We are planning for API next year. Very easy to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NSX has dramatically made life easy for data centre network administrators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data Centre core networks. It has reduced my troubleshooting time. Also microsegmentation has provided me with better security service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are mostly using load balancing and distributed firewall services. The benefit which I see is that it is easy to deploy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well soon or later everything it's going to be virtualize . So maybe now it is in the beggining of NSX but in the future will be the main thing to do with network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well to virtualize the network is the best thing nowdays.So you can spend less more in the hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
