Cloud-based data virtualization platform that helps manage and install virtual machines through hypervisor.
Open-source enterprise virtualization platform that is designed for EDU/GOV, Enterprise, Healthcare, NGO and more entities, it supports self fencing, live migration, command line, rest API and more.
The ability to consolidate, move, and manage multiple physical instances from a single platform is extremely useful and offers great CAPEX and OPEX savings. It is easy to configure and manage VMs.
Only downside is the availability of training in some countries are hard to find. Even if you find training programs it can be expensive for the training and exam both.
Great GUI, lots of very helpful features, stability of product, very large knowledge base online and very easy installation and optimization regarding the importance of product.
Not all configuration is available via HTML5, some is only available via Flash which can be a pain in some browsers.
This software is the best in the business, I love how easy it is to navigate and deploy at click of a button.
Impossible to convert a machine to a virtual machine on the same hard disk of the local machine...you need another hard drive or network drive.
Love the ease of use and user friendly format. Use this every day to track or servers and Virtual servers and is great to show the details and alerts that arise with all our servers.
We no longer have to worry about buying new physical servers. We have 2 HPE blades chassis and 2 HPE Synergy across 4 location.
Overall Expiernce was great and super easy to use you can do many many things and test your sites and create virtual network and also the thing i loved most is , it's a super light weight VE.
There is no easy way to do it. Data loss may occur if not done with caution.
Very reliable and has a ton of features builtin, upgrades are seamless and HA is easy to setup.
We had a lot of trouble debugging ceph as it was not functioning properly and crashing nodes.
VE community edition is super easy to get started with, mostly full featured and provided a great entry to learning the software.
The complicated setup part, fill in a wrong ip on the network adapter and you can not access it anymore.
Proxmox allowed me to deploy all my services in a fast, agile and secure way, configure HA and secure everything with backups.
UI is dated but for the most part this provides next to no impact to functionality.
Evan: Hi, my name is Evan. I'm a cloud engineer. I'm reviewing VMware vSphere, I would rate it a five out of five. And for more reviews like this click below. So before VMware vSphere, we used a lot of Redhat OpenStack, and OpenStack was a lot more difficult to manage because professional support isn't widely available. Whereas, VMware support is just a phone call away. So we chose VMware vSphere for its wide community support. The licensing cost was good when we purchased multiple products from VMware. There's a great monitoring capability. There's just the ability to see your entire environment from a single pane of glass. And it was cost-effective for us. It was very easy to get started with VMware vSphere. There's a number of labs available directly from VMware, so if you don't really understand the product there's a lot of hands-on labs that will teach you the product. So I found it very easy. If I were to recommend VMware vSphere to someone looking to purchase the product, I would say that they should consider all of the available products from VMware, other than just vSphere. There's a number of monitoring, logging and visibility applications that you can purchase. It could be expensive to purchase VMware vSphere on its own but if you look at the total package, you might see that there's a tremendous amount of value.
