What do you like best about VMware vSphere?

It's been around forever, meaning support is easy to find and everyone in the industry is at least familiar with it. Fairly simple install, and very stable overall. VMWare is a huge, reputable company, so you know it's not going anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware vSphere?

Performance seems to be on the lower side, when compared to Hyper-V. The GUI to manage things (VSphere) is lacking, when compared to Hyper-V. Definitely not my favorite. We have since switched basically everything over to Hyper-V. I feel more secure and safe having everything on Microsoft's platform, as well as liking the interface MUCH more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VMware vSphere:

Try both Hyper-V and ESXI before committing to either product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Consolidated smaller server OSes/boxes into one, more powerful, server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VMware vSphere?

VMWare is the best virtualization software, easy to use, feature packed, reliable and rock solid. The free Hypervisor is fully functional, while the paid versions add fault tolerance, clustering, high availability and live migration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware vSphere?

The full version of VMWare can be quite pricey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VMware vSphere:

Definitely consider using VMWare. We have tried other virtualization packages and they are not as polished. For some, we have had stability problems where the VMs or hypervisor crashes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

VMware allows you to consolidate physical servers into fewer virtual servers, making them easier to deploy and manage. They allow you to more fully use your existing hardware instead of letting them sit idle most of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
