Overall Satisfaction with vSphere

vSphere is used across our whole organization by the IT department. vSphere allows us to run multiple virtual servers on one single physical server, which makes server management very easy. The ability to take snapshots of virtual machines and roll back at any given time when faced with a problem is simply amazing.
  • Taking Snapshots of VMs and roll back to the previous state when faced with a problem.
  • Template creation - Once you have that perfect template you can easily create new VMs. Very useful feature.
  • VMotion - Being able to perform live migrations of a virtual machine from one physical server to another, without any downtime.
  • vSphere crushes the competition in all aspects, the only negative thing is the license price. Very expensive.
  • Centralized management.
  • Reduced hardware cost and server room space.
  • Reduced energy consumption.
vSphere does not have any competition, Hyper-V is light years behind! VMWare has always been about innovation and great features. My company has relied on them for over 10 years now, always been satisfied. The only bad thing they have going for them is their price, apart from that they are untouchable. I would strongly suggest anyone looking at virtual solutions to immediately look into vSphere, do not waste your time checking out Hyper-V or other solutions, they just don't have all the features and capabilities Vsphere has.
vSphere is simply the best solution to manage VMs. It has the most features and is the most reliable. If your company is currently looking at virtualization solutions go ahead and recommend them VMWare. Microsoft Hyper-V might be much cheaper, but they do not have all the bells and whistles VMWare has. VMWare is always the one innovating with new features, while Microsoft just copies them. VMotion alone is worth its price tag, made our company save tons of money and time.
