A solid platform that works well for certain clients. With their Essentials suite, the pricing is more competitive for the smaller client.

Ease of use, the functionality. The ability to add more API's as well as creating different levels of administration.

Its hard to focus on what you need to see as the interface is very cluttered. Also, Hardware requirements and licensing can be taxing.

VSphere has robustness with simple ease of use and equally easy deployment with great support and documentation.

Pricing for smaller business can be a pain. Smaller companies that are trying to adopt VMware will find it very hard on the wallet.

Very friendly interface and the ability to increase VM specs without the need to shutdown the VM also very stable when migrating VMs from a host to another.

Great foundation for ever growing virtualization stack.

Now I run all our servers on VMWare with an integrated remote cloud service for backup. Just the ability to preserve data stored in the vintage ERP alone was worth the cost.

It is a great software, even masterpiece in some aspects. But it feels as it requires too much resources and money to be justified in the most of cases.

With the recent Corvid outbreak, we were actually able to implement VPNs and grant remote access without having to invest in new hardware.

A perfect sofware for virtualization, multi-operating system integration.

Robust and can be easily integrated with third party applications and plugins like NetApp, EMC etc. Update manager is also integrated which cn be used to upgrade associated ESXi hosts, and components.

I love how powerful and useful this hypervisor is. with the html5 interface and solid functionality , it cannot be beat.

Fault Tolerance - Zero downtime. Wow that you rarely get with any other virtualization platform.

Very positive experience with both the software and the support staff.

It's cost-effective - pay as use concept if no need stop your services and get free from billings.

Features like HA, DRS, Virtual Switch makes its best available virtualization solution available.

It is a robust hypervisor that has ton of features like HA, Fault tolerance, vmotion. I like the fact that complex features are easy to implement.

Access sometimes temporarily cuts out for a few minutes at a time.

Solid system for on premise server virtualization.

Some newer versions of VMware cause some programs to fail when VMware is upgraded.

Having something that remote workers could access, that was stable and secure meant we able to weather the storm. The ESXi is easy to access as it is web based.

The support from the community is one of the best things to work with vmWare. Almost all the companies are compatible or run over vmWare vSphere.

Impossible to convert a machine to a virtual machine on the same hard disk of the local machine...you need another hard drive or network drive.

I think it’s very best and effective software for business and company so definitely i recommend this over any other software.

Trial licensing can be confusing and the fact that end of the trial disables features could be catastrophic to some deployments.

This is one of the best softwares for virtual machines in the market. It is worth the time to learn it.

Extremely flexible and a breeze to maintain once you are setup. Customer service and support is very responsive when you need them.

For the most critical production workloads, look no further.

Vsphere is great product to manage your VMware environment. Easy to use and updating is super easy.

When comes to server virtulazation vSphere is the best hypervisor solution and so easy to manage and consolidate your servers all in one place.

I've had a 50/50 success rate with support. Sometimes they've been quite helpful and have gone out of their way to follow through.

Overall, I think  it is  worth it, as far as pricing goes. It  is a sturdy, robust product.

The software has free updates which is awesome and the community board is very helpful. I would recommend this product to any IT environment that is looking for network monitoring solution.

The thing that I like least about the software is the inability of the administrator to manage other users views. And the lack of an anonymous view.

I have this on all my switch and SCADA network, on the switch I can break to see performance monitoring Switch interfaces, Utilization, Memory and CPU pretty simply, grouping is also a nice feature.

WUG is the best solution we have found for the price we are able to pay.

We haven't needed to utilize product support more than a couple of times, and they were very responsive and helpful when needed.

The UI and UX is terrible. The dashboards you can create are extremely limiting.

Adding non-default alerts seem to be a little more difficult than should be.

Ive used this product over 20 years. The last five years has seen this product grow and stabilize, with very good customer service.

Netflow integration, alert notifications,  ease of use.

When services fail, or if a machine crashes, we're notified quickly.

Goes without saying that it is easy to implement, intuitive and easy to manage. Dashboards and  views are.

Number of bugs and unending ads and pop up either up or down part of the application, which can be annoying and disturbing.

Great Value and ease of use for what we use it for.

It is hard to update the changed info. Also too hard to manage notifications.

Luckily he came up with the same results. I was able to display the same information (add more) on the big screen with WUG vs Solarwinds, so the CIO agreed to switch.

Out of the box it was easy to implement and provided much more clarity and features. It provides me with a proactive approach for when any monitored device hits a predetermined threshold.

An administrator should be able to back up the daily or weekly activities of his team for review but such feature is missing.

WhatsUp Gold works great for monitoring end points and alerting when they are out.

It integrates well with PagerDuty and covers the bulk of our monitoring needs.

I have had positive experiences with WhatsUpGold. The sales staff and tech support are friendly and knowledgeable.

Failed to recognize ios changes on our switches from ios 12 to 15. I had to remove the devices completely and add them back.

I use this product all day long, it is fantastic and quick to shows us when devices on our network are up or down.

Its great, really easy to use and allows IT to be more proactive about their environment. Its nicely displayed in our team area on a digital NOC.

Wonderful product and reasonably priced compared to other commercial solutions.

The thing that we liked the most about the software was the ease with onboarding this product and having it start to monitor our core infrastructure pieces.
