What do you like best about VMware vSphere?

I like it because it allows me to manage my infrastructure in a dynamic and simple way, connecting through its different clients, both the client vsphere, and its web client I can manage both the esxi, as the center of vcenter, being able to create virtual machines to manage dynamically my hust, and move the machines between the clusters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware vSphere?

the only thing that sometimes prevents the implementation of vsphere on our blades is the cost of their licenses, but nevertheless she complies with all the things that they offer, the savings, for energy consumption since from a blades I can implement through machines virtual solutions that I had to do for each server, now I do everything in a centralized and more direct way reducing the costs of both electric consumption and air conditioning facilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VMware vSphere:

I highly recommend the solutions that VMware provides, it is worth noting that it is the standard of virtualization, in the market and without a doubt it gives you security and continuity in the business for the future, and scalability of your platform so that it does not get lost in time. I say! use vmware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VMware vSphere solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are currently deploying all our blades infrastructure, in each esxi host, for the installation of vsphere, and later centralizing with vcenter, these solutions will make our data center always have high availability and hot migrations at the time of any failure in addition to vmware storage vmotion, and vsan for the complementation of our infrastructure and provide a better service to our customers.

What do you like best about VMware vSphere?

where I use vsmware vmware in our IT platforms, for its ease of administration, plus it can integrate different applications, in the same physical server, because this technology allows me to virtualize my physical host to use its pool of resources for creation of virtual machines, gives me the opportunity to run different operating systems, in the same host thanks to virtualization, saving resources to maintain the operability of our IT platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware vSphere?

without a doubt the issues of licensing is something for everyone confused at the beginning when you want to acquire but then you understand and understand how they work and which are the ones that can be adapted to your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VMware vSphere:

I used different virtualization tools but the best of all are the VMware I do not have the slightest doubt about, the way in which VMware communicates with the pool of physical resources of my servers is simply great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VMware vSphere solving and how is that benefiting you?

in the company we had different physical servers for each application, both emails and web applications, we were implementing vmware vsphere at different levels and we optimized so many physical spaces in the data center, as well as energy and air conditioning facilities as there were less physical equipment, we virtualize other servers and migrate the applications to the virtualized ones, thus having HA in our IT infrastructure.

allows me to manage my data center in a more efficient way using the full potential of emissers, it is worth mentioning that the administration can be done by connecting directly to the esxi or vcenter, esxi as the basis for both, to take full control of my host.

Don't even bother with another solution, just go with VMware. Start small in a lab and grow your solution, you'll be fine! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VMware vSphere solving and how is that benefiting you?

Server virtualization is a huge market and a huge requirement for business. Other hypervisors may meet the need but they either require strong hand-holding, writing your own GUI or beating your head against a wall to make it perform simple tasks. VMware allows us to virtualize our servers and keep ROI low on physical hardware without causing a lot of stress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
