  • Simple UI and Controls
  • Live VM Exporting to File Shares
  • Turns Virtual Environment maintenance into an easier task
Cons
  • Dedicated Lights-Out Solution for low-end systems
  • Ability to replace smaller storage drives with larger ones, rather than requiring the addition of an entire node for storage increases
  • Different UI views for VMs: ability to minimize certain groups and have that persist through log-ins

Fantastic Product!

  • Simplicity - I do not have to create storage buckets or micromanage anything.
  • Efficiency - Lower power use since moving to a hyperconverged environment.
  • Scalability - Adding additional hardware is easy, and increasing things like the amount of RAM or number of cores is easy.
Cons
  • I would like to see an option to schedule updates to occur outside of business hours without manual intervention.
  • The used disk space gauge for each VM is not accurate.
  • The virtio drivers worked rather poorly with the anti-virus product we recently switched to. We had to switch drivers.
