Some of the features I find most notable about vSphere are Enterprise-Grade Virtualization and vMotion > > **Cons**: some of the common pain points or challenges associated with vSphere are cost, complex pricing model and steep learning curve > > My overall experience with vSphere is that it's a highly capable and feature-rich virtualization platform that excels in enterprise environments but comes with some challenges that may impact smaller or less experienced organizations. ----- ### "VMware vSphere Review" — 5.0/5 > **Ibrahim** | *August 15, 2021* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: -Easy of use -Resources allocation for VMs. -Easy migration -Usability -Stability -Frequently updates with new features and security fixes. > > **Cons**: Orchestration features need more AI enhancements and more automation integration using API this will made integration process very easy for developers and administrators. > > Very satisfied. ----- ### "Mac client works fairly well with some issues" — 2.0/5 > **Mike** | *August 16, 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Allows logging into a Windows VM from a Mac in a smart card required environment. The performance is speedy. > > **Cons**: Frequently when the Windows VM screenlocks (goes to sleep) you can't unlock it. Quitting the VM and logging back in is the workaround. On Mac 10.12 Sierra and later, you must disable Apple's CryptoTokenKit, because Horizon will not work with it enabled. Which means pairing your smart card using Apple's native protocol (as opposed to using a third-party solution) is not possible. > > Ability to run a Windows VM in a smart card required environment is essential and VMware Horizon is the only solution available so far. ----- ### "vSphere Review" — 4.0/5 > **Carlos Hugo Martin** | *December 25, 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: In recent versions, implementing orchestrators like Kubernetes or OpenShift is much easier. This allows for the simple and controlled use of pre-built images for each node, whether for a local or hybrid implementation. > > **Cons**: Over time, it has become more restrictive with the prerequisites needed for each version, not only for the installation of the hypervisor, but also for the use of the latest versions of operating systems, causing many cases to require migration to other hypervisors. > > We have used it for the local deployment of monitoring solutions that run directly on the VM as well as on PODs, in addition to facilitating high availability and disaster recovery processes. ----- ### "vSphere One of the best virtualization tools" — 5.0/5 > **Bart** | *October 22, 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The way of use, very easy, stable solution, support of several types of hardware (and software, marktpleader, integration with DR solutions. > > **Cons**: The price for using a version with several features you want can be expensive for the SMB companies but it works great\! So it's the hogher price double worth\! > > Very happy, virtualization of servers is very important in the 2022 ICT world. vSphere works great, we use it for all of our customers and integrate it with DR tools ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2052081/vsphere?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2052081/vsphere) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
