I 'love' VMware support

Really day of a rant today.

Me :"VAAI on build number xyz does not work, but downgraded build number abc, does"
VMware :"Please disable VAAI to fix this problem".

Really ?

    That's funny! surprised they didn't ask you to switch to NFS... On a serious note, they're usually good, at least from my experience.

    To be honest, most tickets we had took so long to resolve that we usually fixed them ourselves.

    Longest ticket we had : 11 months ...

    Honestly, I have always found VMware support pretty good, though there is a bad egg or two in any support organization from time to time.

    For a week now my requests for updates are being ignored ... we spend about 250k per year on support - makes you wonder why ...

    Unacceptable at any price point, but I'd definitely be up in someone's a$$ if we were paying that amount. No way I'd stand for that.

    Yeah, if you are paying that much for support, then your company probably has an account rep that you can bark at. I can't vouch for using that method with VMware, but it has gotten me results with Microsoft and NetApp in the past if someone needed to kick support in the pants.
