the course is good and it increases knowledge on vmware tools. but the course duration is very lengthy. also instructor teaching like a documentation style. i think it needs to explain like drawing the scenario and explain what exactly particular tool is doing.
By Bradly McConnell on 9/20/2021
Should be from basic never touched a PC to Intermediate. The course has nothing about advanced configuration of ESX. Using unsupported example hosts detracts from the actual possible value of the course.
By John B Tarter on 6/10/2021
This course happened to be my first Udemy purchase and this definitely has to be the best investment that I have spent on Udemy! This course has loads of information pertaining to HA & DRS ( Including Storage DRS ) explained in Simple tutorial step by step which makes understanding the concepts much more easier . One would definitely be amazed at the detailed information on topics that has been covered.
By Michael A Prosise on 5/6/2021
Same as in part 1 of this course. As a VMSpher 6.7 administrator, I purchased this to learn about VMsphere 7 none of the new features were covered in this course, quite misleading.
By Joy Thomas on 12/5/2020
good classes nice way of presentation As he mentioned there is little bit issues with his language pronunciation, but it's manageable only.
By Jaya on 8/23/2020
very good explanation
By Louis Roberts on 7/12/2020
Ben Is a really good instructor. The pace of the course was good and stayed on track to address all relevant information. Although Ive used vSphere and vcenter prior, this course helped fill In a lot of the gaps and helped me to understand how and why certain tasks are performed.
By Danny Anderson on 7/8/2020
Every VM admin and engineer needs to take this course. It should be required following before designing a VMware vSphere solution. It is the most well detailed view of cluster, DRS, and HA available. This course contains all of the information required to understand how these features function and provides excellent information on best practices. I highly recommend taking this course.
By Abhijit Hole on 6/22/2020
It is very informative course for beginners who don't have any prior knowledge of Vmware.
Thanks
By Lyndon Voorhees on 6/19/2020
Very knowledgeable and good pace. I little bit difficult to understand English. As the course, progress the English was less understandable. I would not recommend to people who speak English.
By Devan Naidoo on 6/19/2020
Hopefully all that I have learnt in this course will help me with a project regarding VCenter 6.5 ,very good allround tips and making it easy to understand
By Romeo Abaisa on 6/17/2020
The course is good, only the accent in the language in some cases you have to listen to it two time to understand it, but he is good.
