Pity.The GigaVUE‑FM software package is distributed as an OVA file. I've resisted the latter for years but all of a sudden it looks like a way more attractive option. I guess my choices are either downgrading to 6.0 or switching to HyperV. Having to either deal with certificates or constantly work around browser warnings is bonus turd on top of everything else.Īnd this is just what I have from fairly light use over the past few months. View options aren't retained and resizing panels is a crapshoot. The Navigator window on radom refuses to even shot the list of VMs. Sorting/ordering of VMs doesn't work in the Navigator window everything is just random. The UI is entirely unintuitive for anything but the most basic functionality. The performance monitor flickers with every refresh, making it unbearable to use. OVF export option is there but doesn't actually work. It is sloooow compared to the thick client. I held out upgrading for as long as I could, knowing I'd have to wave goodbye to the thick vSphere Client for a shitty HTML5 interface. Would you proudly drive a Ferrari with a smashed in fender and grill? That's exactly what the user interface for 6.5 & 6.7 feel like.


The back end product is good.your customer / user / gui interface.what we see and work with every day.is terrible. THIS IS GARBAGE!!! If VMware is not going to listen to their CUSTOMERS (we have thousands of enterprise licensed VMware servers) then I'm going to recommend to our management that we look for a better solution. In 6.7 U1 web client and 6.7 U1 vCenter this appears to be gone? You now can ONLY SEE ONE VSWITCH at a time.and the information is only partly there.and I have to constantly flip between all of the individual vswitch/vmkernel/port groups screens to figure out what is where.

There was a little box to the right I could click and it would tell me what switch + port was plugged in. In the 5.5 or 6.0 vSphere client I clicked on the host > Configuration > Networking it showed a very nice picture of ALL vswitches.EVERYTHING I needed to know was right there on 1 screen.scroll up/down.instantly knew everything about everything. Reading how bad the GUIs were getting over the past couple of years is why we did not upgrade sooner. I Recently started configuring 8 new vmware 6.7 host servers, to replace 5.5 & 6.0 servers.
