(Original )Information
What do you like best about VMware vSphere?

Using the product is very intutive and easy to use. Im im looking at solution by some of the othe big competitors, I would say vSphere is by far the most feature rich with a long list of integrations to things like PureStorage solutions. Its very easy to setup a vSphere environment from scratch. Installation of ESXi is very quick and deploying the VCSA is pretty straightforward. When you do run into an issue, you can find support either from the community or by reaching out to VMware support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware vSphere?

I cant think of a downside when considering competing products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it extremely accessible, specifically in the learning and support. The ease of access to upgrades and knowledge base helps extensively for new, intermediate and advanced users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware vSphere?

I feel like the network knowledge base could use some help with some more ease of access from the vSphere home. I remember having to go looking for it and resigned myself to accessing the ESXi host UI in order to manage my virtual switches and port groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

vSphere houses all of our virtual machines and DRS also allows to easily provide redundancy for our hosts/VMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
