Overall Satisfaction with vSphere

vSphere is used throughout my company, we use the solutions in-house and many of our clients use vSphere too.
Some of the deployment are on vSphere and hosted in a VDI environment where clients are running A to Z of everyday stuff on Hosted VDI. It's proving to be really cost effective and availability through private cloud makes it 100 % reachable from anywhere anytime.

Pros

  • Cloud-based deployment makes it easier to access your desktop from anywhere on any device
  • Less hardware cost (end users running thin clients and using hosted VDI's )
  • Better management, security, and provisioning of the machine is simple and easy

Cons

  • Pricing for home users (users running building labs, 60 days evaluation period - not enough imho)
  • Vmotion | tools | configuration issues
  • Lack of information (Knowledge base)
  • N/A
  • N/A
  • N/A Irrelevant to my job scope
vSphere works best with different deployment. Can be segmented through virtual switch keeping devices security intact by creating multiple layers of added protection (through networking layers, Vlans etc) Works best with different vendor software (I mainly used for Cisco call managers | unity | uccx | Xmedius Xfax | Microsoft AD | Linux services)
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Call Manager), Kaseya Traverse, Cisco Meraki Wireless WAN
Small to Midsize companies looking to reduce hardware cost (best solution to deploy VDI hosted environment for users) Best solution for remote users (No connectivity issues, availability to services such as File Sharing - Documents - Network Resources are always available) reduce cost of expertise networking (no vpn deployment need to use any network resources etc)
cloud deployment with 100% uptime makes it easy for users and administrators
