Overall Satisfaction with vSphere
vSphere is our main hypervisor being used at our organization. We run a variety of technologies and workloads on vSphere-backed VMs; including large Oracle databases, Active Directory, SharePoint, SAP, HRMS, and few other mission critical systems. vSphere has saved our organization spending money on bare-metal hardware.
- Easy VM management.
- Vmotion.
- Editing resources.
- License are expensive, we are considering AHV now.
- Datastore management is not friendly.
- Upgrading is not easy.
- The license is expensive. With Nutanix AHV coming right out of the box, we are saving close to 80,000 USD with our AHV migration.
We could not migrate to AOS then due to limitation by SAP supportability. A few months after going live, there was a whitepaper saying that AHV will now support it. We continued to use vSphere. It has given us what we need to be agile and extremely efficient with our hardware resources. However, money does play big part in our decision and that's why we are changing to Nutanix AHV.
