We supply the open source open-vm-tools, see:

If you wish to use VMware's own closed source Tools, you'll need to ask VMware.

I am using the ESXI based VMware tool only but its suddenly stopped working. I have to reboot the server to start VMware tool again.

VMware actually recommends using the open-vm-tools in RHEL 7.x instead of VMware's version of the tools. For older OS versions that do not yet have open-vm-tools package in the OS distribution, the VMware Tools will still be available and supported.
