vSphere

Pros: Compatibility with different brands, easy to use and many KB on the net to explain and solve issues. Very good ticketing service

Cons: Broadcom has changed license system and update policies and now it's a bit tricky but I can manage it

Pros: The new release of VMware VCF version 9.x is a complete package all wrapped up to deliver virtually any technical requirement a business could need.

Cons: The patching of the vCentre and ESXi servers unfortunately still need a reboot to complete and this can be a problem for businesses gaining downtime and losing access / service during the reboot and restart.

Pros: In recent versions, implementing orchestrators like Kubernetes or OpenShift is much easier. This allows for the simple and controlled use of pre-built images for each node, whether for a local or hybrid implementation.

Cons: Over time, it has become more restrictive with the prerequisites needed for each version, not only for the installation of the hypervisor, but also for the use of the latest versions of operating systems, causing many cases to require migration to other hypervisors.

Pros: Que tiene la implementacion en cualquier modelo de servidor existente sin ningun tipo de problema ya sean generaciones antiguas y las nuevas

Cons: no hay algo que no me guste , tiene todo a la mano y el soporte que ofrecen es algo muy satisfactorio

Pros: It has a clear dashboard you can see the CPU, RAM, and Network Outage. You can easily add new hard drive storage to Servers or edit the RAM. With templates you can add new Server rlly fast and implement them in your environment.

Cons: The new Price politic is a rlly bad thing for costumers who bought it before. Now when you have to get a new licence the price is doubled or trippled.

Pros: As a System Engineer, Vmware Virtualization is very excellent platform. We don't need to spend the a lot of physical server. The most I like about vSphere features are: 1. High Availability and DRS 2. Live Migration with vMotion 3. very simple and easy to use other than virtualization 4. A lot of Knowledge Base and strong community 5. Vmware Site Recovery Manager 6. VM Host Affinity Rules

Cons: I don't have much about vSphere. But now We can't download the vmware and vcenter path file in Broadcom portal.

Pros: Very simple management product for vmware servers. Easily handles multiple hosts and virtual servers in one simple interface.

Cons: Price of product can be high, and since the Broadcom acquisition its nearly impossible to purchase the product.

Pros: Most of pros, this vSphere when we use it. its ability to manage a large number of virtual machines (VMs) from a single interface, simplifying operations, security and central control management.

Cons: Yes, licensing cost, especially for smaller businesses and complex network setup need to professional.

Pros: Stability, options, features, wide knowledge base on 3rd party partner

Cons: after acquisition by Broadcom, price too high

Pros: vSphere is an established platform and has a strong track record in virtualization and cloud computing.

Cons: Licensing and implementation can be on the more expensive side for smaller businesses.

Pros: The product is still the best out there for on premise server virtualization for many reasons.

Cons: It's not the cheapest in the market. Recently there have been some QA related bugs but appears to have improved with the Broadcom acquisition.

Pros: 1. It provides high-security features in managing VMs by giving access control based on users and roles. 2. It provides quick migration support. 3. Managing VMs and features like load balancing . hardware recovery is simple.

Cons: 1. Setting cost is too much high. 2. Product is difficult and learning curve is too extensive.

Pros: I use VmWare vSphere for infrastructure virtualisation in the Cloud

Cons: Hardware restrictions for installing vSphere ESXI

Pros: Runs all our linux and windows workloads very efficiently. Can stand up a new environment in minutes and backup/restore functionality is on-par with using a cloud based service.

Cons: The licensing model and purchasing via sales channels was difficult at first. Once we got to renewals it was smoother. The recent migration to Broadcom has increased pricing.

Pros: vSphere is a robust virtualization platform offered by VMware, and there are several standout aspects about it that users often appreciate. Some of the features I find most notable about vSphere are Enterprise-Grade Virtualization and vMotion

Cons: some of the common pain points or challenges associated with vSphere are cost, complex pricing model and steep learning curve

Pros: vSphere is a virtualization software which is well for its reliability. The most important feature that I love most about this service is that it allows multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on a single physical server, ensuring hardware resources are fully utilized also it include features like Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) automatically allocate resources based on workload demands.

Cons: I don't face any big issue on using vSphere but I fell it's expensive licensing and subscription costs as well as UI portion can be improved more

Pros: Having several VMS using vmware technology to take advantage of less physical hardware

Cons: The new licensing model implemented by Broadcom

Pros: -VMotion service to migrate virtual machines in real time is amazing. -The stability of the system working with clusters is the best option the in the market. -A lot compatibility with physical storages -Amazing management to discover datastores created in the physical storages. -The security updates to fix vulnerabilities are published very quick. -The dashboard to management our clusters is very easy to see and very light to load a lot of data in the dashboards. -The upgrades improve the VMware environment with new capabilities in storages and new OS published.

Cons: -Since January 2025 the prices increased in a 600% in the licenses, in others subsidiaries the prices increased around 1000%. -Now the prices are very expensive.

Pros: vSphere is a product of VMware and I have known this product in and out since ESX3.x

Cons: Sometimes it might not suit for all scales of businesses

Pros: vSphere servers the purpose of managing and controlling multiple VMs in an environment setup.

Cons: The layout can be more user friendly in terms of size and options to expand/collapse.

Pros: A great virtualization platform to optimize resources between cloud and on-premises.

Cons: The cost is unreasonable high. It should provide various licensing levels for the users.

Pros: Well established product within the industry. High performance with great scalability and robust security.

Cons: High licensing fees after Broadcom's acquisition. Complexity and hardware dependencies also play an important role. "Support" could be better as well. Since the support is outsourced, finding a resolution to complex issue can be time consuming.

Pros: The ease of use regarding Virtual Machine management, setup, and customization.

Cons: As Broadcom purchased vSphere things have been changing and making things more difficult.
