I really enjoy the ease that this product provides to take my outdated hardware and put it on a VM. The cloud base allows me to work remotely and easily as if I was in the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the different pricing tiers as it makes it confusing to know what I am getting and what I'm not getting for the price I pay, in addition to what do I need to pay for and what is just a luxury. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the IDEA of this software--test something out in virtual machine form first, before committing to a change permanently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
