Overall Satisfaction with vSphere
This is being used by our information technology department to manage all of our servers that are hosted offsite with a server hosting service. We also use it to manage virtual PCs for outside users to access our internal network. With vSphere, we are able to manage these servers as a unit instead of remoting into individual servers one at a time.
- It does a great job at snapshots and backups.
- Allows for greater remote function.
- Has a robust management software that allows for many customization and options.
- The user interface has a great deal of detail which is nice but can be overwhelming.
- Not very user-friendly or intuitive menus.
- Hard to manage several versions of virtual servers without running into errors.
- Able to provide virtual PCs to remote users.
- Able to organizes dozens of servers that are hosted offsite.
- Able to back up and migrate servers with very little effort.
- HyperV
What vSphere lacks for looks and UI, it gives back in the robust services that it offers. Backing up, migrating, and cloning servers is incredibly easy with their built in tools to do this. It is also capable of organizing dozens of servers in a robust organization with varied needs.
