The interface is 100% web based so it is easy accessible from anywhere. Integrates directly into Active Directory for easy role based access and authentication. All management was moved from the client to the web interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The management interface can be slow to load and takes a while to find some of the settings. Overall they did a good job making it self explanatory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used to enjoy the ease of use, the stability, the upgradability, and the cost. Now the cost of licensing has forced us to strategize migrating off the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The exorbitant costs of licensing that increased when they were acquired. I understand it, but I do not like it. It's terrible for SMBs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about VMware vSphere is its stability and maturity. It’s rock-solid for running critical workloads, and features like vMotion, High Availability (HA), and DRS make managing virtual machines smooth and reliable. On top of that, it scales really well and has a huge ecosystem, so it fits everything from small setups to large enterprise environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike most about VMware vSphere is the cost and licensing complexity, especially after recent pricing changes—it can get expensive fast. It also has a steeper learning curve for new admins, and upgrades or version compatibility can sometimes feel more complicated than necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use VMware vSphere to run and manage all our virtual machines, and it makes virtualization easy to handle. The platform is very stable and reliable, allowing us to adjust VM configurations whenever we need without any hassle. I appreciate how vSphere lets us manage our entire virtual environment, including virtual networks, VMs, and physical hosts, all from a single console. This makes day-to-day operations much easier and more efficient. The initial setup was straightforward, and following the documentation made installing, connecting the ESXi hosts, setting up vCenter, and starting VM management easy. Managing our environment has been smooth, and I didn't face major challenges during the setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VMware vSphere is great, but it can still improve in a few areas. The licensing and pricing are on the higher side, which makes upgrades expensive. Some advanced features also feel a bit complex for new users. In some cases, updates and compatibility checks take time, so simplifying that experience would make it even better.

I find VMware vSphere cost-effective and appreciate its central management capabilities. I like the resource management it offers, which helps in managing server virtualization efficiently. The feature I value the most is vSAN, as it effectively utilizes storage resources by virtualizing all local storage contributing to the vSAN environment. Even though the initial setup may not be very easy, it has good features that are easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it is better to use a small bandwidth for backup and replication. It may not be very easy, but it has a good feature to understand easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about VMware vSphere is its stability and centralized management. It makes it easy to manage multiple virtual machines from a single interface, automate tasks, and optimize resource usage. Features like vMotion and High Availability are especially valuable because they minimize downtime and allow seamless workload migration, which is critical for business continuity.

Only what I dont dislike is that each extras is needed to install manualy that there isnt more integration automatisation and more user friendly interface with better overviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to manage everything all in one place with VMware vSphere. It gives me the flexibility to add more storage space on the fly, increase RAM, and add additional servers as needed. I really like the update process and being able to do updates. I also enjoy the integration with Veeam backup, allowing me to restore VMs into vSphere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
