"I find it very easy to manage and at a cost that small customers would never refuse (free)."
"The solution's security is its most valuable aspect."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to manage multiple operating systems through one application."

"The AI and the UI could be improved. The user interface is a little outdated and the AI is not very attractive."
"The solution needs to improve the methods used for starting and stopping the machine."
"The solution should work to simplify the system. However, it should be flexible enough to allow for special cases."
"The solution should have more enterprise features, like migration, high availability storage, disaster recovery, and the ability to deploy to enterprise-scale usage. They should not just offer desktop usage."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox doesn't work properly with an antivirus tool."
