Fantastic overall console - feature rich overview of your VI

  • August 25, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Simplified overview of your entire virtual infrastructure.
Centralized management including hypervisor updates.
Easier to deploy than past versions.
Lots of data presented to analyze for better decisions.
Vast online support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Licensing can be vague, especially for newer SKUs
Limitations on the kits can be frustrating for SMBs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidation and simplified management.

The primary benefit has been a much lower footprint, easier management and less power/cooling needed especially in smaller branch offices without dedicated IT staff.

#1 tool when you are running VMware virtual enterprise environment

  • August 03, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
vCenter is a solid and matured product that manages your vSphere hosts in a very reliable fashion. We have about 20 hosts connected, making a cluster with vCenter's help. This provides great flexibility in the environment with the number of features like vMotion, DRS, host affinity rules, snapshots etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, I don't particularly like the speed of the web client (however it has improved in vCenter 6 vs. 5.5) and don't like the fact that certain features are only available in the web client and certain other ones are only in the traditional fat client. I wish everything was available at the same place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing our virtual environment at four different physical locations. Benefits are time saving (versus manual management), feature richness, plugins from the different vendors (storage, backups etc.)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the fully functional trial version first if you are not sure you wanted to buy it.

vCenter virtualization managment

vcenter allowed to adopt virtualization technology faster and friendly manner, simplifies the management of nodes and virtual machines thank to its stability and well proven technology, it haven't competition.

reduction in hardware acquisition to achieve consolidate and convert the existing platform in virtualization nodes
Recommendations to others considering the product:

The gold standard

  • April 08, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
VMware vCenter is the gold standard of VMware vSphere management. It completes most tasks with ease and can integrate with other VMware tooling to make up for its shortfalls. It's quite easy to learn and can be picked up within a few days however mastering it is another thing entirely.
What do you dislike about the product?
The vSphere Web Client is completely abysmal. The speed has increased slightly with vSphere 6 however it is still quite slow. Apparently this is going to change with vSphere 6.5 with an all-HTML5 interface however I'm not holding my breath.

Licensing is also quite expensive as VMware has removed the Enterprise SKU and only left Standard and Enterprise Plus.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
VMware vCenter manages all our ESXi hosts easily with one modestly sized Windows machine. It can be deployed as a virtual appliance as well which is the new recommended solution however we are sticking with Windows at the moment. The appliance itself helps us with machine density, segregation, distributed virtual switches and patch management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hyper-V may be cheaper, however functional parity isn't quite there yet.
