"The scalability of the solution is good. We have hundreds of users internally and thousands of users externally. We do plan to increase usage shortly."
"One of the features I really appreciate is the Hybrid Cloud Extension UI."
"Technical support is quick and responsive."
"The most valuable features are the control and flexibility that we have, where we can build our own solutions from scratch."
"he ease of deploying virtual machines is the solution's most valuable feature. Moving virtual machines from one post to another is easy. Within minutes you can easily deploy your virtual machines and deploy your applications as well."
"It is very easy to do technology refreshments, patching, and upgrades with almost zero downtime. Its easy to bring servers online within few minutes."
"The higher availability, the DRS, and its connection with NetApp are the most valuable features."
"The VMware Software Defined Data Center Manager can be used to manage VMs across multiple platforms."
