Thanks to strong user satisfaction, VCF Networking has been named a leader in G2’s Spring 2025 report.
VMware NSX, the core networking component of VMware Cloud Foundation, leads the way in private cloud networking. With 100% of users rating it 4 or 5 stars, it holds the largest market presence in its functional category, “Data Center Networking.”
Moreover, it’s not only the top choice in its category, but also continues to shine in Container Networking, IaaS (Networking), and Network Automation Tools.
Why G2 Recognition Matters
This recognition holds greater value because it comes from users who regularly engage with and rely on the product. And that’s why appreciation featured in G2 reports is trusted, as they reflect the opinions of real, consistent users.
These reports offer transparent, data-driven insights based on actual customer satisfaction, product performance, and market presence.
When a product ranks highly on G2, it means users are not only using it—they’re loving it. For IT decision-makers, G2 acts as a reliable check on what’s truly working for the people and the market.
Why VMware Cloud Foundation Networking is a Leader
Let’s face it: delivering agile and resilient private cloud infrastructure can become very hard. That is where VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) comes in.
VMware Cloud Foundation is a comprehensive private-cloud platform that delivers integrated, enterprise-class compute, networking, storage, management, and security across all endpoints such as private cloud, public cloud, partner clouds, sovereign clouds, edge, and co-location.
VCF Networking, powered by VMware NSX, is the networking solution in VMware Cloud Foundation, that provides scalable, software-defined connectivity that supports multi-tenant operations and simplifies network consumption.
NSX virtualizes networking functions and brings network services closer to the application, enabling efficient traffic forwarding and simplified micro-segmentation. This allows for a cloud operating model where networks can be provisioned and managed independently of the underlying hardware.
Administrators can create and provision simple to complex multi-tier networks topologies in seconds. With Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), teams can create isolated environments, enforce resource boundaries, and provide self-service access with built-in security and compliance.
Integrated with leading switch fabrics, NSX ensures consistent configuration, seamless workload mobility, and scalable networking across the VCF environment.
On top of that, VCF Networking includes smart tools for monitoring performance, managing costs, staying compliant, while keeping everything secure, from encryption to access controls.
Achievements & Awards
VMware Cloud Foundation was recognized as a Leader in the IaaS category and distinguished itself in the Spring 2025 Grid Report. This was followed by its win last year in Winter 2024.
Of more than 100,000 software offerings, just the top 4% merit this distinction. VCF performed consecutive back-to-backs. That’s not luck. That’s consistency.
With the highest user adoption rating in the Enterprise space, it gained a leadership position in the Enterprise, Mid-Market, and Small Business categories. Globally, it was also identified as a Leader in EMEA and given recognition in the Enterprise Asia-Pacific area.
What Users Are Saying About VMware NSX
When it comes to cloud networking, nothing speaks louder than the voices of those actually using the technology in the field. Here’s what users have to say about their experience:
“They are providing very good customer experience and cloud solutions. If anyone wants to build a data centre, there could not be a better networking solution than VMware NSX.”
—Validated Reviewer, Senior Data Engineer
“The micro-segmentation capabilities are particularly impressive, allowing for detailed control over security policies down to the individual VM level. NSX scales well with our growing infrastructure needs.”
— Verified User, Research Assistant
“It’s quite simple to deploy and has almost all the functionality we require to set up a multi-site architecture across two DCs, with proper documentation on reference architectures and deployments.”
— Validated User, Mid-Market Industry
This isn’t marketing fluff. These are users deploying VMware NSX in high-stakes environments where downtime isn’t just inconvenient—it’s catastrophic.
