"This product is extremely easy to install, use, has a great GUI and is incredibly stable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to copy bidirectionally between the desktop and the virtual machine."
"The solution is very stable."
"This solution creates a snapshot of virtual machines so you can create test environments."
"The configuration and installation is pretty straightforward."
"I like that it is free and runs on Linux/Ubuntu - I wouldn't use any other solution. I am able to perform small developing tests."
"The solution has high performance and is easy to use."
"Network management needs improvement because it is not very stable."

"You need a licensed account to look up technical support."
"The solution should be more flexible and allow for greater customization."
