I wish editing the properties was easier, console access takes away mouse control from other area of screen, I don't like that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost aside, absolutely nothing! It's easy to use client GUI or web based interface are wonderful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Allows users to remotely connect to vCenter Server from a variety of web browsers and operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Can be slow at times and not always as responsive as we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how easy it is to view your inventory. Information about my datastores, clusters, and hosts is only a click or two away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like how there is no way to remember a username/password combo for frequently used servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Solid visualization platform. Easy end user tools like the fat VSphere Client and the Web interface.
The Fault tolerance feature in VMWare 6 looks very interesting.

As a regular Virtualbox user it's great to be able to connect into the console for any VM over RDP, regardless of support in the guest OS. I've been unable to find this feature in VMWare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
VMWare for fact is best virtualization company. The amount of complexity and option that's available will suit every company. Mostly offers what other company do, here I do like their Hight Availability with share storage, no downtime, or Fault tolerant VMs that run on two hosts simultaneously. Power management is sublime, can move your VMs during night to one host and suspend the other to save power. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Price and Licensing can be off-putting. They developed fantastic (for me) web gui vCentre however there are things you can only do from desktop client (updates) and things that can only be used in web gui (new hardware version 5.5+) I sure hope they will make all features available in both desktop and web for administrators to pick what they prefer.

I like the ease of management and scalability of the virtual machines. Cloning and taking snapshots makes scaling a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The version I am currently using does not let you size drives larger than 2TB. I think reporting could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
