Before Broadcom took over it was pretty positive, but since then it has been more awkward to deal with the vendor.

It supports so many features, that managing it sometimes is not easy.

NSX datacenter it is sold as part of a VMware solution and the focus is on existing VMware engineers and administrators. This should be sold to those in charge of networking first and then implemented together with existing VMware engineers.

    In my experience with Vmware NSX, it is one of the best solutions for managing your virtual network, and especially for microsegmentation. Our primary use, includes lots and lots of microsegmentation, and it has some great features and level of granularity while making rules.
