Overall Satisfaction with VMware ESXi

VMware [ESXi] is being used to host critical customer facing applications. It is being used by multiple departments across the enterprise. It is the hypervisor of choice for many business units and provides extensive redundancy and high availability features. ESXi has many 3rd party integrations which allow us to leverage our existing tool sets for monitoring and automation workflows.
  • High availability
  • Resource pooling
  • Alerting
  • Live resource monitoring
  • HTML5 client can be buggy at times
  • Better documentation for hidden features
  • Support team response time is slow
  • Support for aging hardware
  • Wide device driver and firmware compatibility
  • Real time monitoring

Do you think VMware ESXi delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with VMware ESXi's feature set?

Yes

Did VMware ESXi live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of VMware ESXi go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy VMware ESXi again?

Yes

[VMware ESXi is] well suited to host business critical applications that require 5 9’s uptime. Not so well suited for a business that does not have a large buying power as it’s expensive. Lots of documentation and scripts widely available on the internet. Powershell and python native tools available make this a developers dream.
