Overall Satisfaction with VMware vCenter Server
We use vCenter to house our 30+ VMs spread across 9 different hosts. It addresses many different problems for us. It gives us great failover, flexibility, and allows us to maximize the potential of our hardware.
- vMotion is incredible to allow us to migrate to new clusters/hosts while minimizing downtime.
- The simple, easy to use centralized management capabilities of the new web interface makes it easy to get up and going, as well as managing and making changes anytime you need to.
- It's very versatile and allows us to spin up, test, and deploy new types of VMs easily and efficiently.
- I would like to see it be as simple to add the vCenter Server to a Windows Domain as it is a Windows desktop OS.
- It saves time and is very powerful.
- It's pricey.
Proxmox VE is also a very powerful tool and is free, but vCenter has really hit the nail on the head as far as simplicity and ease of use, as well as, reliability.
