Overall Satisfaction with VMware vCenter Server

VMware vCenter is being used across the whole organization, each business unit (BU) would be responsible for their vCenter server. The division I work with has 3 locations, with each facility having its own vCenter. The business requires VMware vCenter to run its hosts with virtual servers running necessary business related tasks.
  • Flexible
  • Reliable
  • Easy to navigate
  • Be sure you have the latest release, otherwise, you will have to [rely] upon Java to connect
  • Easy to access and use
  • Reliability
  • Flexibility
  • I access vCenter every day. It's positively critical that all servers / apps are running efficiently.
  • VMware helps me with keeping an eye on the environment.
  • I would say a positive ROI
VMware runs in the cloud.
I do not have the experience with cloud based VMware to comment.

Yes

Did implementation of VMware vCenter go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy VMware vCenter again?

Yes

If you already have a VMware environment, then you must have a vCenter. I can only speak on behalf of smaller business environments; each facility has 2 hosts with 1 vCenter. A facility doesn't have more than 16 virtual servers running. You can certainly run more hosts with more servers. I can't say for sure how large a vCenter can handle how many hosts / VMs. I suppose it's up to how much you can afford with hardware.
I believe VMware has a bigger market share than Microsoft. Again, I can only speak on using VMware, I have no experience with Microsoft virtual environments.
