Synology Hardware is Limited, So the VM's performance is depended on the available resources. it made the vm's unusable when I ran Vm's along side using other Synology Apps such as (Synology Directory Server, Synology DNS)

I tested this on Synology rs1619sx+ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Synology VMM is the best multi-platform supported VMM. Especially worked on Linux and Windows VM's and no need for any physical dependency. Configuration and management through VMM are so easy. Snapshot feature is most important for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any dislike. need to add some more additional controls and make it robust. else it is the easy-to-use and best virtual machine manager in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy and simple to use with little to get in the way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly it's really pretty good, however the hardware is usually quite pricey to be able to really utilize it to its potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used a lot of different VM managers in my time, and Virtual Machine Manager makes it simpler than almost any of them! I could probably have my grandmother configure a VM. It's about as simple as it gets. BUT, unlike most other VM managers, the advanced capabilities of QEMU/KVM are exposed relatively easily. The main complaint often times is that VM's are too complicated to setup right, and the simple setup ones make it hard to do more advanced configuration. Not so with VMM! I can click right through a config, or I can get super deep into it. Less filling AND tastes great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has no web interface. Yeah, that sounds lame. It does everything anyone could want it to. But, if it had a clean web interface and html5 display manager for the VMs, well, then that's about all I could have ever asked for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the key features are:

1) Migrate VMs from any non-HyperV OS to HyperV

2) Convert Physical machine to VM in HyperV with MAC/IPs/hostname same.

3) Allow to manage ESXi host(by providing Vcenter IP)

4) Enhanced OS deployment & Cluster deployment

5) Better Cluster management like Storage Space Direct etc

6) Managing Software defined Data center

Other Features like:

- Virtual Machine creation & complete workflow of Virtual Machine

- Cluster Management like Vmotion both Live & offline motion

Not much extension for the Console and console is also not designed for it.

Good improvement need for GUI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Upgrades, migrations, deployment and deletion of virtual machines ( whole management of VM's) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A bit slow in VBOS migrations, takes time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration with SMI-S storage, OOB, and Network Virtualization is very helpful for deploying en masse and managing a multi-tenant architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of Web GUI, very finicky placement rules, and lack of 3rd party integration unless you use SPF and Azure Pack (which is dated and does not support newer OSes). Also, the requirement of RDS adds licensing woes that are not present in most IaaS solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Virtual Machine Manager along with the Synology Disk Station is very convenient to use. Availability of all the DSM features with virtual DSM is really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of Mac OS as guest operating system is a negative point if you are using the VMs for application testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VMM is one of the best hypervisor in market.

Keep an eye on the virtual machines and triggers alarm if anything goes wrong.

Can be integrated with cloud.

Virtual Machines Intelligent Placement – SCVMM allows automatically profiling Hyper-V hosts in the environment and placing VMs on the host that has the best fit for hosting those resources.
