Likewise, if you are going to spend more money on additional features, then have a plan to actually deploy and integrate those features into your infrastructure. Many of my customers chose the lowest cost option only to discover that the additional funds needed to access even a few more features would have been money well spent. Today, there are so many different options available, and sometimes, it is not really clear which one is the right version or the right model to propose." "The installation is complex and you need to have a good understanding in regards to what you are doing when you are setting it up." "The UI of VMware could use some improvements, especially in dark mode." There could be more flexibility and fewer model options to make it easier to sell. It does not help me to show the client the value of going with VMware vSphere rather than an open source or cheaper solution." "The improvement is more from a licensing perspective rather than from a feature functionality perspective. You're only protecting yourself against technical failures but not against any cyber threats or any other stuff." "When we talk about the overall private cloud stack, I would prefer for it be a lot more seamless." "I would like to see improvements in simplifying automation, cloud native deployment, administration, and fault resolution." "The documentation could be improved. They should improve a lot of the functionality because normally it's half of a product. Then you don't need any backup solution anymore and you can do it by yourself. A complete dashboard has always been provided with some competitors, such as Nutanix." "The only way for it to be a complete product is if you integrate all the functionalities. The monitoring is now available on the vCenter dashboard and the vROps has been added to the basic version that had to be purchased separately before.

"We are provided with a mini dashboard that has been improved in the latest version but it still could be better.

We can sort, manage, and organize VMs, folders, or subfolders in VMware." "My storage use is doubled if I am creating a one TB virtual machine then my storage policy will take two TB from my cluster." "If you have the need for special hardware like FibreChannel-Cards or such and there is no networked-way around it (such as you could work with USB Dongles via an HW-Dongle-Server of network), you have to use a separate hypervisor." "It worked well in the beginning but after using it for some time, we found some limitations in terms of compatibility with other software." For example, to be able to reorganize our VMs, folders, and subfolders, similarly as it is provided in VMware. They need to streamline the process of templates and deploying virtual machines." "I would like to see more automation of Day One operations, such as DRS, and HA." "The management console needs to improve to make it easier for administrators. "The solution could improve the call logging system to HPE, it is a bit tedious." "They need to work on the deployment of virtual machines.
