VMmanager Reviews & Product Details

VMmanager helps us to save money that we spend on IT infrastructure. Instead of having a separate server for every small task, we create virtual machines out of a physical server and run services on them.

I don’t think that we solve some unique problems with VMmanager - we have pretty basic tasks: create VM, install OS, reboot, create a template, monitor resources. But what’s essential for me as a business owner - VMmanager is a convenient, intuitive, and user-friendly. I don’t have to hire a highly professional engineer who can cook an enterprise-level virtualization software. We spend a little on the software itself but save much more on a salary.

ISPsystem provides solutions that work in one eco-system. We use DCImanager on the physical equipment level, and then VMmanager to work with VMs. My suggestion is to make the integration of these two platforms even more seamless, so we don’t have to switch between two interfaces.

The fact VMManager6 isn't cluttered with niche functionalities is a very positive thing.

It's simple, stable and reliable while doing everything what's expected.

Development team is agile (in a good way) and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User permissions and multitenancy still needs a bit of work.

API documentation is still being worked ok, but support team will give all the information needed to implement it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to emphasize the section "Tasks" where you can see the logs. In this section, the panel indicates what has happened, so it is easy for admins to troubleshoot. Everything is displayed right in the interface, quite convenient.

Ceph storage. You can connect Ceph as a network storage, it is a couple of buttons in the interface, and in fact, it is a powerful solution for data storage and high uptime.

Documentation and support at the highest level. These are related services, which are critically important when using the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is hard to answer, we have been using VMmanager for many years, and everything is fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VMmanager provides an intuitive interface allowing a hosting provider or a cloud provider to create virtual servers for their own use or for clients. Another pro is their flexibility allowing to extend functionality with plugins and extensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some minor tasks e.g. VMmanager does not support network operations with a few VLANs so we have to use additional tools and solutions for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

New cutting-edge UI, intuitive server management, and resource monitoring for each virtual machine or a group of them. Another great features are mass VM cloning and cluster management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No management of additional VM interfaces. So far it's not possible to add more VM disks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of all I like the cluster structure of the VMmanager builds and the ability to connect new servers as new nodes and the further distribution between existing VMs nodes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the realization of the backup system:

1) the lack of customization flexibility;

2) the principle of backup creation ( replication of all containers via the main managing server) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to understand the settings and run the hosting in accordance with the objectives of the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are small errors, most often we observe when working with nodes - for example, when adding a new one, it is impossible to specify its IP address, and when transferring a virtual server between nodes, its state is incorrectly displayed. We think that in one of the updates the shortcomings will be covered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This system attracts with the ability of the adaptation of the business projects, mainly the ability to integrate VMmanager with IPmanager, DNSmanager, and other modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the way of the OS installation. The installation takes much time. Images of the OS are copied through the main managing server by using the cluster structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It streamlines tasks and makes it more complex and easier to use Mysql as an administrator besides being accessible to the search engine from the query query and uses an Oracle database or a MySQL database as the recommended management repository used in the operating system Oracle Linux 5.5.

Excellent manager but hopefully one day they will take it to the privative software for its use since its best performance and usefulness is done in the software oracle linux but not impossible to use since you must migrate to a computer to use its use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about this virtualization tool is the ease of use, requiring a very low learning curve, since if you have a slight notion of using this type of tool, you can quickly use it like an expert. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool, not being open source, does not make it easy to develop plugins or functionalities that the user might need. Despite this, on few occasions have I needed something that the tool itself did not already provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
