Very Good to clear concept.

By Mario I McGuire on 5/8/2025

I struggled with the accent, but the content itself was easy to follow and digest.

By Paweł Kalinowski on 3/21/2023

Decent course but could be shortened by 1/3. In many cases author repeats what was already presented.

By Ryan Chronister on 11/16/2022

The course covers the common use cases of vSphere 7 admin with PowerCLI. I'm working on a project of ESXi QA automation and I was looking for a PowerCLI course, this is the one after researching. I highly recommend this course for any one who wants to manage and to monitor VMware cluster using PowerCLI.

By George Gonzales on 10/12/2022

I purchased this course after attending VMworld and I love it! For automating your Vsphere environment this is your bible. I've only scratched the surface but this course has saved me hundreds of hours of testing. It's so much better to get my Powercli scripting right the first time.

By John H Ross on 10/9/2022

One of the more difficult parts of learning PowerCLI - and PowerShell itself - is determining where to get started. I often suggest identifying a project or task that you want to complete, and then figuring out how to do it, because aimlessly fiddling with a language can be frustrating. If you're looking for a library of sample code that walks you through the why and how, I'd suggest picking up this PowerCLI course from Fettah Ben.

By Bradley M Brathwaite on 10/7/2022

This is a really good reference course. It has tons of stuff that I have already been able to us in my job. I started to follow it straight through but haven't been able to stay with it... but lets face it, it is a GREAT Reference course. I am very VMware View centric and it does not touch on that add on to CLI but this isn't a VMware View PowerCLI course, it is a VMWare vSphere PowerCLI course.

By Gary B Voss on 9/22/2022

The great thing about Fettah's approach is that he takes the time to point out some basic powershell syntax outside of PowerCLI. You are then soon driven into some very useful cmdlets to extract information from your vSphere environment using Powershell and vSphere's PowerCLI cmdlets.

By Harold M Couture on 9/8/2022

The structure of this powerCLI course makes sense for the topic, the information conveyed is relevant, useful, and, for the most part, at the right level of abstraction. It provides not only the broad picture of virtualization command line, but also the information you need to know to dig deeper on more specialized topics.

By Abdau Majdi on 9/2/2022

Been a vmware engineer for 8 years now and I get to master the PowerCLi. This one does not disappoint. Lots of great information in here for anyone who is just starting out and wants to learn more or the engineer that's been using the product for 10 years. I always learn something new from these.
