Soddisfatto dell'acquisto.

4,0 2 anni fa

Commenti: Mi ritengo soddisfatto della mia esperienza con vSphere, continuerò ad usarlo.

Aspetti positivi:

Utilizziamo vSphere per la virtualizzazione di diverse macchine, sia client che server. Adatto esclusivamente ad ambienti lavorativi o casi particolari che necessitano di una struttura virtualizzata. Servono competenze tecniche, sia per la creazione, messa in opera, valutazione e sicurezza delle macchine create. Dal pannello di vSphere è possibile la creazione, l'allocazione delle risorse, l'avvio e lo stop delle macchine create, con la possibilità di creare snapshot per un ripristino di emergenza.Fino ad oggi non ho mai avuto crash di applicazioni, ed in caso di interruzioni prolungate, qualora i gruppi di continuità si fossero esauriti, con il riavvio manuale della macchina non ho avuto nessun problema.

Aspetti negativi:

Il prezzo è piuttosto elevato e ciò lo rende adatto solo a medie e grandi aziende.

Vmware Vsphere the best Hypervisor with rich features for every need

5,0 5 anni fa

Commenti: Well we have over 80% of our workloads virtualize with VMware vSphere. We haven't have a mayor issue with the virtual environment. We can optimize the investment of the infrastructure and also respond to the business needs quickly when there is need. The support it is also really great. If you have a active support, they help with any issue really quickly and with a good solution. I can sleep well knowing that the business services are support by VMware vSphere platform.

Aspetti positivi:

Vmware vsphere its a really great hypervisor that can virtualize compute and storage resources right out of the box. I like the fact that you can easly manage the resources and create virtual machines in a intuitive way. The configuration of the storage connection is easy. It has great compatibility with just about any harware out there. We have at our organization more the 70 esxi host with different hardware vendors, but they all are compatible and I can migrate workloads with just a few clicks.

Aspetti negativi:

Maybe the price of the licenses. If you work at a enterprise, maybe that it not a issue. But if you want to have all the cool feature, you will have to purchase the enterprise plus license. It can be a little expensive.

VMware VSphere: A Virtualization Server for Private Clouds

4,0 anno scorso

Commenti: It was great working with VSphere to simplify the management and deployment of clients. By employing it all the VM creation, deployment, and processing is done on the server side and all the client is responsible of is providing the VM display more or less.

Aspetti positivi:

I deployed VSphere in my networking class to provide the students with managed VMs containing common software packages and tools. VSphere was up to the challenge using a commodity Dell Intel server with 64 GB RAM. It provided virtualization support to 22 VSphere clients. The clients merely provided the VM display and all the processing is done on the server side. The control center for managing the virtual machines is extremely simple to use and the migration (using VMware VMotion) is also seamless. The next step for us is to start testing network virtualization using the VMware NSX server.

Aspetti negativi:

The client software hangs and lags unexpectedly. As a developer, I sense that the VSphere client could be better enhanced in terms of performance as well as in the look and feel.

Mac client works fairly well with some issues

2,0 7 anni fa

Commenti: Ability to run a Windows VM in a smart card required environment is essential and VMware Horizon is the only solution available so far.

Aspetti positivi:

Allows logging into a Windows VM from a Mac in a smart card required environment. The performance is speedy.

Aspetti negativi:

Frequently when the Windows VM screenlocks (goes to sleep) you can't unlock it. Quitting the VM and logging back in is the workaround. On Mac 10.12 Sierra and later, you must disable Apple's CryptoTokenKit, because Horizon will not work with it enabled. Which means pairing your smart card using Apple's native protocol (as opposed to using a third-party solution) is not possible.

Perfect for hosting private clouds on-prem

5,0 4 mesi fa

Commenti: Largley positive, but when there is an incident affecting the entire cluster, you can expect to have a bad day. For example if there are locking issues within the cluster against a fibre-channel storage array, you may need to reboot the entire cluster resulting in an outage of 100% of all infrastructure on the platform.

Aspetti positivi:

The web UI makes it very easy to manage ESXi hosts and their configuration, as well as individual VM configuration. It is simple to setup an HA toplogy with numerous VMs running on a cluster of ESXi (hypervisor) hosts. DRS makes it simple to automatically migrate VMs between hosts in a cluster.

Aspetti negativi:

The licencing of features is complex, and base level licences preclude feature such as storage vMotion and DRS. This should be part of the base offering. The vSphere API is a bit clunky and the SDKs available in python are quire fragmented. No infrastructure as code offerings are made as all configuration is generally done manually by clicking the mouse, or via manual CLI commands.

Vsphere - Best virtualization software

4,0 2 anni fa

Commenti: virtualization in a very good way without any major issues & less human intervention to manage the platform. Patching automation with VUM , DRS , HA are some of the excellent features of vsphere. Moreever the latency wise very less compared to other hypervisor softwares.

Aspetti positivi:

I would say the vsphere provides various features as a package. vmotion , FT , DRS , Affinity/Antiaffinity rules , HA , monitoring , automations etc..VROPS/VRLI/VRA/VRO are the tools provided along with vsphere which provides excellent features when compared to its competitors

Aspetti negativi:

Obviously the costing is the major drawback especialy the production support cost & it's not that much value for money , since vmware support takes more time to resolve & troubleshoot issue. It's my personal opinion. Other issue is in patching , vmware needs to come up with one click upgrade same how their competitors have.

Experience with vSphere

4,0 3 anni fa

Commenti: It has been used for the implementation of large monitoring environments for both data centers and monitoring equipment distributed nationwide.

Aspetti positivi:

The ease of generating and customizing virtual machines, as well as being able to know how they are working at all times.

Aspetti negativi:

Virtual machines from old environments are very complex to migrate, since changes have to be made to the network components, disk, etc. Causing on several occasions that the virtual machine from 0 had to be generated again, in addition to getting new drivers.

Works well for large organizations, a bit costly for smaller companies

5,0 5 anni fa

Commenti: I've been using it for over 9 years now, started with version 4.0 and have gotten good exposure to all versions up to and including 6.7.

Aspetti positivi:

Ease of use, the functionality. The ability to add more API's as well as creating different levels of administration. IE Helpdesk, user, administrator etc. Helpdesk is very helpful and work with you till there is an actual resolution to the problem.

Aspetti negativi:

The cost. Compatibility with some of the older hardware (specifically Dell R810). Almost impossible to get support for any version less than 6.0.

Commenti: Very happy, virtualization of servers is very important in the 2022 ICT world. vSphere works great, we use it for all of our customers and integrate it with DR tools

Aspetti positivi:

The way of use, very easy, stable solution, support of several types of hardware (and software, marktpleader, integration with DR solutions.

Aspetti negativi:

The price for using a version with several features you want can be expensive for the SMB companies but it works great! So it's the hogher price double worth!

The best virtualizing solution

5,0 4 anni fa

Commenti: Vmware’s vSphere is one of those products that you despite its cost you will never feel like you made a bad investment buying. It gives me so many options when it comes to remote management of all the software I have running within the local ecosystem. What was really impressive was how we were able to demo newer enterprise software within a control environment giving us a perspective that we would have never had given the old software that was present. With the recent Corvid outbreak, we were actually able to implement VPNs and grant remote access without having to invest in new hardware.

Aspetti positivi:

Stability and scaling were very important to me when choosing a solution to my problems. One of my clients had an old ERP software connected to an equally old version of SQL server. Pressed to upgrade and incorporate newer cloud base services I had to find something that could be used in the interim but could be shaped slowly to match our needs. I chose vSphere and it worked out very well. Having something that remote workers could access, that was stable and secure meant we able to weather the storm. The ESXi is easy to access as it is web based. Now I run all our servers on VMWare with an integrated remote cloud service for backup. Just the ability to preserve data stored in the vintage ERP alone was worth the cost.

Aspetti negativi:

While the ESXi is easy to access its can be confusing at first. Its hard to focus on what you need to see as the interface is very cluttered. Also, Hardware requirements and licensing can be taxing. While it was critical to protect our data no matter the cost the costing and implementation still felt a bit excessive. There is also huge learning curve when it comes to using some of vSphere’s functions When incorporating it into your on-site datacenter you will definitely need to train your staff or hire an expert cloud technician to monitor and manage your cloud services.

Virtualization = VMware

4,0 4 anni fa

Commenti: We no longer have to worry about buying new physical servers. We have 2 HPE blades chassis and 2 HPE Synergy across 4 location. VM migration between data centers is very helpful.
hardware is being utilized at almost 85% and overall cost is certainly reduced.

Aspetti positivi:

I have been using VMware for almost 12 years, day to day operations had never been so easy. easy implementation and administration. we converted 95% of our server to virtual machines. My favorites features are online migration, high availability and DRS .

Aspetti negativi:

I didn't and still don't like the web interface, the old Windows application prior to version 5.5 was perfect and very effective. now with the new flash based interface is dissapointing. there is another HTML5 version but it lacks some features. i am hoping that they come up with a new version these days knowing that Flash plugins will no be longer supported.

Virtualization? You should review vSphere!

5,0 2 anni fa

Commenti: You can install the program with very simple steps and start managing the system instantly. And without any compatibility issues. You can see and manage the servers whenever you want, and you can use many functions comfortably.

Aspetti positivi:

VM vSphere , It enables the virtualization structure to be completely managed from another environment without the need for resources. Thanks to the multi-operating system support it provides, installation and configuration convenience is available. A server ip and password are enough to connect to. You can see and examine your entire structure and feel the comfort of working on the server. Moreover, you can easily provide this on any computer you have.

Aspetti negativi:

In order to get maximum efficiency, our servers must have VM Tools. This is not a shortcoming, but installing extra software can be a problem.

I like that it allows us to optimize or resources and overall cost savings in IT

4,0 7 anni fa

Commenti: Having been trained in VMware as my first introduction to the virtualization of servers and utilization of resources; I like what vShere provides. It reduces and simplifies our IT infrastructure and it allows us improvements in the accessibility and connectivity of our computer applications. The components included makes the solution really reliable such as ESXi hypervisor for help in which is responsible for help in setting up multiple VMs and DRS that divides and balances computing capacity for VMs across collections of hardware resources.

Aspetti negativi:

Please ensure that you are familiar with VMWare suite of products and get help from current users of this product. Know that this is an investment and as such the solution comes at a price but the total cost of ownership is well worth the initial investment. And the cost is based on the amount of host and processors.be careful of the additional services provided as they can become pricey.

I can say "It is a Great tool for Virtualization"

4,0 6 anni fa

Aspetti positivi:

VMware vSphere is a simple tool with advanced features for virtualization. I have used this tool for my studies, research works, and security purposes. It provides a great connection between the base operating system and the virtual machine and the configurations are also easy. Using this tool, I was able to run several virtual machines at once and it was very important for my research work. Actually, I need to say that without having VMware vSphere I could not make it. Integrating with the remote clouds also an advanced feature which is provided. I was able to make my OS images fast and effectively thanks to vSphere. As I mentioned before I use VMware for testing or do something which can be harmful to our base operating system. It can protect our OS from being corrupted. I still use this software and I love it.

Aspetti negativi:

The only thing that I distract from vSphere is when I need to run several VMs at once my machine is getting very slow or stuck. Sometimes virtual machines can be corrupted. Hence we need to keep backups always. Except from these things, I love it.

Extremely expensive but still worth it for legacy applications

5,0 6 anni fa

Commenti: vSphere revolutionized the datacenter and is still running strong after almost 30 years. Without it we might still be stuck in the stone ages without virtualization or cloud!

Aspetti positivi:

vSphere has been around for a while and is trusted for it's stability and reliability. If your applications are not built to fail, if you treat yours apps like pets vs cattle, you probably want to pay for VMware vSphere. Depending on your use case, vSphere may be the only game in town. For instance, if you want to do some complicated GPU sharding, only VMware has worked with Nvidia to offer this. Certainly feature wise, this is the most robust hypervisor on the market. They also have a large ecosystem, community, and excellent support.

Aspetti negativi:

The pricing is quite high and they try to justify this by including more and more management software, SDN, SDS in the overall vCloud offering. However it's still quite expensive and difficult to rationalize in smaller companies with challenging budgets. On the flip side, they have so many offerings now and have create a variety of total solutions which can fit any number of use cases.

Best Hypervisor out there

5,0 6 anni fa

Commenti: It's super easy to setup and get started, it's something that should be done in every single company I've seen in my life. Sadly, not all companies use VMs to my personal surprise. Only if they could understand how easy it is to transform your business environment with ease using VMware tools. Premium versions offer real value, so if you need more than 4-5 servers and a rock solid production environment you should invest in vSphere.

Aspetti positivi:

The console, the features, the true power of a hypervisor. I use ESXi/vShpere in every chance I get. It's super-light and very easy to manage, understand. Many benefits, it's a no-brainer!

Aspetti negativi:

Nothing serious, maybe it's lack of integration tools and features like copy-paste and file transfer. But really, that's something small and not needed when it comes to server use.

vSphere makes managing virtual infrastructure so easy!

5,0 6 anni fa

Aspetti positivi:

- Simple and easy to use interface - Very powerful. Comes equipped with tons of features - Entire virtual infrastructure ranging from configuring and deploying VMs can be done quickly (depending on the skill level) within minutes. - New HTML5 interface can be used to manage VMs from cell phones.

Aspetti negativi:

- Contains so many features that it can be quite intimating even for an inexperienced professional to keep up with the latest releases. VMWare does provides ample of KBs and forums to address this, but many a times, answer is not readily available or it is very difficult to find from docs. This process can be very confusing. - Very expensive - Licensing model can be hard to understand.

Solid system for on premise server virtualization

5,0 4 anni fa

Commenti: I have had great success with vSphere and will continue to use this product in the years to come.

Aspetti positivi:

What I like most is the rock solid and consistent performance. this system is very reliable and I have had minimal downtime over the past 6 to 7 years with esxi and vsphere. The management capabilities as well as the monitoring are above and beyond.

Aspetti negativi:

It can be quite a bear to set up, network, and there is a learning curve in the beginning. However, once everything is set up and designed correctly it will perform great with very little intervention.

The defacto standard for a virtualization platform. All other virtualization solutions look to it.

5,0 7 anni fa

Commenti: We trust this platform to run 97% of our servers.

Aspetti positivi:

VMWare's vSphere platform is very mature, and supports ties to all aspects of the computing landscape. VMWare continuously innovates with new features and functionalities. This is the most stable and well supported route for on premise hosting.

Aspetti negativi:

Tier 1 support is terrible. I've had two support cases where my first contact didn't even know what the product was (vCenter Server Support Assistant) Suffer through till higher tiers and they will fix your issue, but if it isn't down expect it to take a minimum of days. Cost for addons such as NSX, SRM, vSAN can be very steep. Licensing can easily outcost your hardware.
