VMware vSphere Reviews & Product Details - Page 55

Wide array of vendor support. Near native hardware speed. Live migration of both compute and storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rather expensive license costs. With costs being so high, there's no real cost savings over using native hardware with no virtualization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using vms. I like being able to spin up differents OSes with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I can think of right now that I do not like about this product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is well-designed and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there is nothing I dislike about Vsphere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The vSphere client allows you to connect to the vsphere host and do all sorts of functions on your virtual machines. I like vSphere because it is rock solid and integrates into other really useful products like veeam and zerto. Virtualization in general has been an incredible, industry changing, invention.

I'm not really a fan of the the web version of the vSphere client. Other than that its really hard to find fault with it.... there has been some problems with QC of late. So, if they can slow down on focus on being rock solid before bells and whistles would be good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of setup. Our Hyper-V cluster was a nightmare to set up initially. Getting ESXi loaded onto each server and getting it configured was a comparative breeze. Documentation is wonderful and consists of multiple PDFs broken down into every element of install and management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tools to convert and migrate our old Hyper-V VMs to VMWare worked OK, but was clunky and slow for large servers. Ended up being far, far faster to rebuild a few machines then restore from backup then running the standalone converter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use interface. Logical interface. All options are logically located around the screens. For the most part, the software is very well though out.

Also like the extreme extent to the event logging that occurs in real time.

From a service perspective, their knowledge base including both user submitted issues, and noted official KB's is extensive. Lots of issues can be handled without vendor engagement due to these knowledge base articles. They come in very handy when it comes to upgrades as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost of the various VMware products are fairly expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Enterprise level support and unparalleled scalability. VMware vSphere also offers you a rich level of configuration options so that the implementer can tailor the tool according to any environment. The vMotion feature is powerful, providing a full and seamless move of VM allowing for full business continuity. At places I've worked where there are two or more data centres, vMotion has proven to be invaluable during times of data centre outages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price is high compared with Microsoft Hyper-V. As well, for smaller companies, vSphere may be way too over-featured and add way too much overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Im able to manage all my virtual infrastructure via one tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

licensing can be a bit confusing and some one expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think VMware has been one of my best experiences in virtualization. This is a software that lets you manage multiple operating systems in a virtual environment, so you will have the opportunity to implement on a platform with a system such as Windows or Linux, other virtual machines with different operating systems. In this way, you will have a full hardware emulation of different operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, I can honestly say that there are not many things I dislike about the product. I would like the user interface to be improved a bit, but even so I find it very understandable. Last thing, they may reconsider the price to the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The performance of this product seems to far exceed hyper-v. The management of the guest VM's as well as the management and configuration of the host is far easier. You have far greater control and detailed settings than in hyper-v. By comparison, hyper v seems more like an after thought where as vmware seems far more planned and professional. Its fast and easy to install, maybe 15 minutes at most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isnt much about it that I don't like. The restrictions on memory ended in 5.5, which was my only complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
