Overall Satisfaction with VMware vCenter Server

VMware vCenter is the heart and soul of our virtualized infrastructure. This simple but expansive management tool allows us to manage our infrastructure throughout the full lifecycle (deploy, maintain, decommission). It provides powerful clustering features which allow for load balancing across compute, memory, and storage. Robust alerting capabilities allow administrators to move from a reactive approach to proactive.
  • Manage large sets of complex infrastructure components
  • Stay up to date with latest security patches through integrated vsphere update manager
  • Management of multiple vCenter instances can be challenging at times
  • HTML5 client is missing a lot of features from the flash client
  • Easy access to all infrastructure components saves time and reduces spend on 3rd party management tools.
  • Robust monitoring allows us to take a proactive approach and fix issues before they impact the business.
vCenter beats the daylights out of Microsoft Hyper-V. Actions that take multiple clicks with Microsoft can be achieved in a single click with vCenter. It’s less expensive and easier to deploy and maintain.
Support responds quickly to online support requests. Skilled engineers are but a phone call away.
