    I recommend SourceForge to anyone or business that needs both commercial and open source software. This platform has a wide variety of software with many categories that allow easy search for any project, in addition to the fact that searches can be done separately (commercial and open source software) so as not to have mixed results which go with different purpose. In addition to the fact that the community of this platform is quite active and that there are always times to discover new projects that can be useful for a company or individual person.

    Vsphere Operation Management is suitable for automating the process of bringing up an alternate data center in case of a disaster. It also is a great way for testing your readiness of disaster. You have the ability to bring up a server in a "bubble" for testing. This way you can show your admins how the failover process will work.

    Pros
    SourceForge
    • Commercial software and FOSS projects are available.
    • FOSS projects have advanced profiles such as software hosting for download as well as download metrics. As well as the released versions.
    • Commercial software profiles show detailed features, what it offers, price, frequently asked questions and a vast amount of user reviews.

    • The best thing about VSOM is that it's built into VCenter so you only have one point of administration
    • VSOM does a great job of making applications intuitive
    • Re-IPing virtual machines are a must and VSOM does a great job of making this a simple process

    Cons
    SourceForge
    • The overall design that SourceForge has really leaves a lot to be desired, although the entire platform works perfectly, I think that the design should be much more attractive.
    • There is currently no feature to save your progress on a review you are writing, so if you are writing a review and the browser is closed for some reason, all progress of the written review will be lost.

    • The installation of VSOM is very tedious
    • It uses an MS SQL database
    • It should be able to adjust for hardware modifications in VCenter

    Souceforge was very straightforward and easy to manage. The leads worked for us so there is not a lot else to say about why I'd use it again. This isn't some complicated software product, it is a simple inbound marketing channel that is meant to generate leads and help us with brand awareness and it did exactly that.

    Usability
    SourceForge
    SourceForge is super easy to use and very intuitive. And their support team and campaign managers help whenever we need it. Using SourceForge as a user is easy, and administrating a business software listing is easy as well. They also have great documentation.

    Reliability and Availability
    SourceForge
    We've never had any issues or downtime with SourceForge. Since we've been a user, the platform has never been down. Or at least never that I've noticed.

    Performance
    SourceForge
    SourceForge loads extremely quickly whether you're using the front end or administrating your product listing on the back end. All pages are snappy to load--no issues with page speed whatsoever.

    I hardly ever use the support on SourceForge, as I have not needed it. Their product works well for me. One time I had to email them and they got back to me the same day, but that's my only experience.

    Online Training
    SourceForge
    When we first signed up, they pair you with a campaign manager who trained us on how to use the product properly. The product is simple so the training was only about 30 minutes and after that we understood all the features and how to make the most of it. Most of the work came with making a custom landing page and building a follow up process for our sales team.

    Alternatives Considered
    SourceForge
    G2 has a larger commitment time upfront and for a more expensive rate, which wasn't the best option for our team as we were just exploring the resources that existed out there at the time. We preferred Sourceforge as well due to its subscription service, making it easier to commit from the start.

    vSphere with Operations Management has a much better way of automating the re-IPing of servers so you can stand them up in a different environment or location. You do, however, need another way of replicating your servers to your DR site, VSOM will not do that. We used EMC Recover Point for replication.

    Scalability
    SourceForge
    SourceForge has been plenty scalable for us. Our marketing department is able to edit listings and our executives can also log in to the platform if need be for leads and reporting information. SourceForge offers multiple user access and role permissions, so it's pretty scalable and easy to use for our entire team.

    Return on Investment
    SourceForge
    • It allowed us to learn more about the features and functions of some software that we currently use.
    • It allowed me to improve my decision-making for the software we use in the project area.
    • It helped us to replace several programs that were used in our company. We made several replacements, for much more optimal alternatives.
