⁴ VMware vRealize Log Insight for NSX provides intelligent log analytics for NSX Data Center. Log Insight provides monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities and customizable dashboards for network virtualization, flow analysis, and alerts. VMware vRealize Log Insight version 3.3.2 and later accepts NSX Data Center Standard/ProfessionalAdvanced/Enterprise Plus edition license keys issued for NSX-T 1.0.0 and later. This means you will have an enterprise level Log Insight license for every license of NSX Data Center.
⁵ VMware Workspace ONE Access - A license to use VMware NSX Data Center includes an entitlement to use the VMware Workspace ONE Access feature, but only for the following functionalities:

Directory integration functionality of VMware Workspace ONE Access to authenticate users in a user directory such as Microsoft Active Directory or LDAP.
Conditional access policy.
Single-sign-on integration functionality with third party Identity providers to allow third party identity providers’ users to single-sign-on into NSX Data Center.
Two-factor authentication solution through integration with third party systems. VMware Verify, VMware’s multi-factor authentication solution, received as part of VMware Workspace ONE Access may not be used as part of NSX Data Center.
Single-sign-on functionality to access VMware products that support single-sign-on capabilities.

⁶ Integration with automation tools such as vRealize Automation, vCloud Director, VMware Integrated OpenStack and other OpenStack distributions, Ansible, and Terraform is available for all editions of NSX, however, you must have the appropriate NSX edition for the feature which is automated by these tools. For example automation of load balancing from Terraform or OpenStack requires NSX Data Center Advanced, Enterprise Plus or ROBO.

⁷ NSX Distributed Threat Prevention requires an additional subscription based purchase.

⁸ Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported for all Load Balancing features except for IPv6-VIP-to-IPv4-member and IPv4-VIP-to-IPv6-member translations.

⁹ Requires VDS 7.0 or higher.
