It was cheaper and more flexible in regards to the features available to us.
We used a platinum partner. To begin with, they were good, but after pulling out of support we struggled to find alternative partner support.

We have distributed sites over poor networks, but the client side de-duplication makes a real difference. The single pane of GUI makes familiarization easier, especially for customer service staff. Pre- and post-execution scripts are great. Good support for Microsoft products including clusters and Active Directory. Hyper-V and VMware are all supported with new machines automatically added.
