Vetted Review
Overall Satisfaction with VMware vCenter
We use vCenter for our own Private Cloud Platform. This is the key feature for using Dynamic Resource Scheduling and High Availability. This is de orchestrator for deploying new VMs and distributing them across multiple ESXi nodes and clusters. Managing hundreds or thousands VMs from 1 interface and making sure everything runs as smooth as possible. I could not do my Job properly without it..
Pros
- Resource Scheduling
- High Availability across multiple nodes
- Easy to use and maintain
Cons
- With transition to Broadcom the support could be a bit better
- Documentation is a bit hard to find with the Broadcom transition
- maybe builtin Helpsystem could be enhanced
- Licensing has gone up
- Licensing has become harder to get (even for Cloud Partners)
- With the public cloud, it has a lot of competition
- Proxmox VE and Hyper-V
Not really a competition. Proxmox and Hyper-V both lacks the manageability and easy to use access for multiple nodes and clusters. Also Hyper-V has the ability to use Multiple nodes but it does not compare to the level of VMware vCenter Server.
All the integrations possible with vCenter are a big plus.
