If you want the best compatibility with VMware products, this is it. There are other HyperVisor platforms out there, however, this software is native to VMWare. Reduces potential security threats through a unified approach to configuration management across the physical and virtual infrastructure.

  • It a little cumbersome to get all features up and running.
  • Takes a bit of knowledge to get to all configured and thievery setup.
  • It would be great if it had a monitoring tool internally, a tool like Nagios for example.
