Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Virtualization Manager (VMAN)
One of the great aspects of Virtualization Manager (VMAN) is how well it integrates into the Orion platform. We use other Solarwinds products such as SAM and IPAM so all that information is gathered and shown in the correct (expected) locations.
VMAN itself can be configured to only give suggestions or can carry them out automatically. If you know the Orion platform you'll quickly become an expert in VMAN.

- A great feature of Virtualization Manager (VMAN) is how it can show you the expected to need in storage based on your past growth.
In the past we had used VMware's VRealize yet this integration into our Orion platform makes it easier to work with plus there is price savings when we moved to VMAN.
