"It is a very stable solution...I was involved in VMware SRM's deployment phase two years ago, and it was an easy process."
"It's very reliable. The solution is stable."
"The simplicity of VMware SRM is one of its most important features. SRM console is straightforward to manage. It offers simplicity in monitoring, managing, and deploying, making it a unique value proposition. Additionally, Nutanix solutions also provide a simple GUI, which helps in operational efficiency."
"My impression is that the initial setup process is relatively straightforward."

"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
