OP: "Recently I upgraded from vSphere 6 to 6.5 and that comes of course with the pain point made mandatory - the web client."
I too landed up here looking for help with this. I just moved from ESXi 5.5 to 6.5 and discovered the pain of the web-client. This is Deja Vu...when MS unleashed Windows 8 on the world. I mean seriously - what is wrong with the simplicity and elegance of the the old vSphere client? It worked and it worked well. Everything was where it should be, and it is responsive and dedicated to the job at hand. But most importantly, it was intuitive. This new web story is everything but. It is lethargic, counter-intuitive and totally unnecessary. Change for the sake of change, not improvement. big thumbs down.
Oh and I just got this: "Unhandled exception (1). Unfortunately, we hit an error that we weren't expecting. The client blah blah"
The point is that the management system is now at the mercy of the browser...so you get all kinds of problems. IE won't upload a file larger than 4GB. Chrome has other issues. Firefox seems best...but hey the DEDICATED CLIENT was just that: DEDICATED.
