Great appliance
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of setup and installation of the initial appliance is great. We've been running Vcenter since 5.5 and have had minimal issues with stability.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall the handling of logs and the way it keeps track of servers can cause an issue. We've encountered in 6.0 and 6.5 issues where hosts would just stop speaking to the vcenter. After some research we learned that this is a known bug and there are no fixes for it at this time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting mass environments for students learning cyber security, this product has proven invaluable to our circumstances. The ability of vcenter to handle so many transactions and track so many objects is awesome.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Because of the cost of licensing, you should really really look at your use case, if your use case is not a private cloud or something that needs baby sitting on site i would recommend going with a public cloud solution. If your use case meets all of the above and you have the brain trust to develop a open source cloud using Open Stack do that. However, if you're looking for a solid product with a good company behind it, a less than steep learning curve for admins, or your looking for a commercial product for private cloud solutions VMware really fits that bill.
Part of the best virtualisation software on the market
What do you like best about the product?
I like the HTML 5 web client that comes with vCentre. That you can manage your entire server infrastructure using your favourite browser. All VMware products are very reliable and robust.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the fact that the login needs a domain like @vsphere.xxx which in many situations the person setting up the vCentre environment will forget to document. Price is a bit high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
vCentre is part of our disaster recover environment where we always have a spare host on site that contains replicas of the live servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If it is within your budget you have no reasons not to implement a VMware infrastructure.
VMware
What do you like best about the product?
The idea of changing the VPN and providing secure remote access
What do you dislike about the product?
The glitches for different operating systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote viewing and using other software with all access.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a very convenient application for interfacing with the star connected systems.
VMWare’s vRealise Orchestrator has solid features and ease of use, but we found it hard to deploy.
What do you like best about the product?
vRealise is extremely capable and flexible. It can complete daunting tasks that’d take a long time with a lot of other solutions at a blazing speed. It’s scalable, and locally ran, right on one of your machines, making it very versatile, and fully self-managed inside your system. The hardware requirements it asks for aren’t too high.
The software also has great support for a broad spectrum of plugins, making it even more specialized for certain tasks.

What do you dislike about the product?
vRealise is hard to deploy on very large scale systems. It’s not its fault tho, but rather, some people find it rather complicated to get used to at first. I’m talking the part of the team that aren’t strictly related to IT, and still need some level of automation. It is also rather hard to come by, being only a part of VMWare’s other suites.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As mentioned above, vRealise Orchestrator helps with a lot of tasks that need automation, cutting down the need for people who constantly operate such tasks. It offers solutions to operate multiple clouds, which we implement on our website. It really is a great tool that solves some important IT tasks easily!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you’re looking for a stand-alone solution, you might want to skip the Orchestrator, but if you’re already using VMWare’s enterprise solutions, the vRealize Orchestrator will fit right in your IT architecture.
vRealize Orchestrator evaluation
What do you like best about the product?
The automation of several redundant task and the scalable workflows that enable you to be able to automate changes normally made manually.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial setup was pretty stratight forward but it was a little more complex to get configured properly when doing our demo.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Looking to be able to monitor our VMware infrastructure more closes and be able to better utilize the small number of resources we have across all our vm's.
vCenter is the best (only) orchestrator for ESXi boxes
What do you like best about the product?
vCenter works pretty well for managing multiple ESXi boxes. In reality, it is the only choice you have. It's easy to add licenses, hosts, create clusters of said hosts, add datastores, etc. The new HTML5 gui is pretty great!
What do you dislike about the product?
Here's what I dislike about vCenter:
- There's now the desktop vSphere client, the web (Flash) vSphere client, and now, the web (HTML5) client. None of these are 100%. They should've focussed on one client and made it awesome.
- Managing permissions for who can deploy VMs, access datastores, etc. is painful. Be prepared to spend a week of your time on getting permissions right.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can manage several ESXi boxes and datastores via vCenter - all of my items in one place. This has saved me an incredible amount of time!

It is very simple to install, configure and use! The new web interface in HTML5 is very fast and allow you to do all you need. Great SSO.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t like the integration with Ilo because sometimes has problems.

It is used in each datacenter. Allow me to manage the different clusters with few clicks.
It is very stable.
