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.

2. Hyper-V

4.4

Hyper-V is a robust tool which offers very good stability. Since it's integrated into Windows like an app, it feels native and super fast. The type-1 architecture ensures that guest machines run with excellent memory management. The VHDX storage resilience and the ease of creating quick checkpoints are really a great advantage of Hyper-V/ However the experience is dragged down by a dated user interface and a frustratingly complex virtual networking setup that often requires manual troubleshooting when switching between Wi-fi and ethernet.Read all insights and reviews for Hyper-V

3. Nutanix Cloud Platform

4.6

For quite some time, it has been in the leader segment of HCI and yet again in the Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure Category. The reason why its adoption gradually increased is because it came out as a single stack and redefined the HCI category with unified management, storage and compute in a single pane. This gives the customer the flexibility to choose both hybrid and all-flash storage in a single cluster. However, to adopt it an organization needs to invest in training and enablement of the resources. Read all insights and reviews for Nutanix Cloud Platform
