Overall Satisfaction with VMware ESXi
I have been administering VMware ESXi since version 2.0. It has evolved over the years to be a very robust hypervisor that in my opinion is the best on the market. Our company is running VMware both in production and in the test. We have 150-200 virtual machines. ESXi helps our IT department to easily spin up servers and meet the demands of the company as well as its executives. Without VMware, we would not be as efficient and quite honestly may even fail on the delivery of projects.
Pros
- Boot Times are quick.
- Adjusting compute resources is easy.
Cons
- Hot Add of compute (RAM and CPU).
- Easier setup of distributed switches.
- Simply put, VMware ESXi pays for itself.
- We can stay up with business needs.
I have evaluated Microsoft Hyper-V, but have found it to be less robust than VMware ESXi.
I have always had a great experience when using VMware Tech support. Sometimes it does take escalating the issue, but they typically always provide a resolution.
