Featured Reviews

Ramon Ruiz - PeerSpot reviewer
Director IT at Servnet
Significant backup for containers, but the customer service is terrible
Anyone considering this solution should not compare it to the old versions. They should be a partner with Virtuozzo and run all the certifications. Also, they need a good lab to understand the technology and how they can apply that technology conveniently. This is very commercial software. It does not have support, so you will need to be hands-on. I would rate Odin Virtuozzo a six out of 10 overall.

Proactive monitoring has improved infrastructure visibility and simplifies long term management
I remember when I was working as a consultant and implemented Site Recovery Manager from VMware. It was working fine and is a very good solution. Although I used it five or six years in the past, it is very beneficial for customers as a function to build disaster recovery.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
"I find the manageability and interface of vSphere Foundation to be very good, more understandable, and futuristic compared to open-source alternatives."
"Overall, I am generally happy with VMware's customer support; they are responsive and I have no reason to complain."
"Setting up the VMware vSphere Foundation is easy."
"The solution supports the creation of a large virtual environment consisting of thousands of virtual machines, and the performance is excellent."
"VMware vSphere ensures high resilience in the data center."
"I would rate VMware vSphere Foundation ten out of ten for its ease of use and functionality."
"The most beneficial features of VMware vSphere Foundation for IT infrastructure are its licensing, scalability features, and user-friendliness."
"It helps us see whether our configuration is adequate and prompts us with questions if there are potential issues, asking whether we want to proceed."
 

Cons

"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
"VMware needs to improve cost efficiency, especially in Pakistan, as customers often seek more affordable solutions."
"I find that VMware vSphere is not very user-friendly at first, as there is a significant learning curve involved with installation."
"Recently, the pricing has gone up a lot for different organizations depending on what licensing they have had since the acquisition by Broadcom, so there is room for improvement on the pricing."
"One area of concern is Oracle's lack of support for VMware in terms of core licensing. It is not legally compliant to use an Oracle database on VMware, which does not support Oracle core-based licensing. Therefore, I decided to decommission VMware due to these licensing issues."
"One area of concern is Oracle's lack of support for VMware in terms of core licensing."
"Regarding the scalability of VMware vSphere Foundation, there are questions about whether it is completely scalable or if there are limitations."
"In the last year, the main issue was pricing. With the Broadcom acquisition of VMware, there were delays and confusion in Brazil and some LATAM countries involving quoting and purchasing."
"The VMware vSphere Foundation is very good, and the support is also good, but the price now is very expensive. I would rate the support for the VMware vSphere Foundation a six because currently, we have access to engineers, but I have to wait more time to resolve my case due to basic questions."
