Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
I like that it works. In most cases, it's predictable. You know what you get. It's almost an out of the box function once you have installed the other components. It is a stable product. | The improvement to our organization is managing all our KVM-based virtual machines in a management environment. The most valuable features are automated deployment and transparent movement for virtual machines over all our locations. |
Cons | |
Microsoft still has some really bad remote desktop appliance for Mac. In the next release, I would like to see better performance over slower networks, and integration with Linux, but this is something that we're going to get out of Microsoft in terms of a unified solution. We find the services are not as transparent as we would like for our integration with Citrix. | The best improvement for oVirt 4.2 is to enable backup features for major backup products of virtual machines. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
The pricing is moderate. | Information Not Available |
