Overall Satisfaction with VMware vCenter Server

As primarily an MSP and also in our own data centres, VMware vCenter is critical to any medium / large operation. If you need the upmost uptime and you have multiple sites, esxi hosts and many VM’s then you probably want vCenter. VMotion, fault tolerance, drs are just some of the critical features we make use of everyday to ensure our customers keep online.
  • VMotion
  • Fault tolerance
  • Multi host / multi site management
  • Provisioning and automation
  • Mobile app! (But there are 3rd party alternatives)
  • Storage VMotion / VMotion in general
  • Automation / provision
  • Saves times for managing hundreds of hosts across sites
  • Faster time to action on infrastructure issues

Would you buy VMware vCenter again?

Yes

Any mid size deployment and larger of VMware can benefit from vCenter. If you have multiple hosts, multiple sites then you want vCenter. Single point of operation for all hosts and clusters across your data Center or remote sites. If you only have 1-2 hosts and don’t require VMotion, or some of the more enterprise features you can probably skip.
