vSphere is essential in how we administer our VMWare virtual environment. It's a centralized tool that allows administrators full control over snapshots, backups, VM administration and migration. Features are intuitive and robust with options for monitoring, configuring, setting permissions, allocating datastores and networks, snapshots and updates. Features a status bar at the bottom to see what active tasks that are queued up. When you perform a task, like deleting a snapshot, you can see its progress. Integrating vSphere locally with SaaS Cloud assets is seamless and not too difficult to configure. Overall, it's an essential companion when managing multiple ESXi hosts and virtual workloads.

My experience with Hyper-V is truly phenomenal, normally for Windows platform. Hyper-V platform has strong integration features with Azure AD, Windows Server environments and System Center which make virtualization more efficient and strong compared to other virtualisation systems. Performance and stability are also exceptional points that need to be considered for most workloads, and built-in features such as failover clustering and replication of current system add extra reliability without the need for extra cost.Read all insights and reviews for Hyper-V

It was a very poor decision to choose this product which ended up in wasting money and hardware still sitting in our data center that can't be used since its already end of life and end of support. They tried their best to implement it in our environment but because of the complexity it never worked. Not even a small portion of those services ever worked.Read all insights and reviews for XenServer
