"I save both physical and virtual space."

"You can get almost all the features of the tool at a low cost. The tool also has built-in backup mechanisms. It also has a physical firewall for internet management which other competitors lack."
"This is a great product."
"They need to invest more in the support documents for real issues happening when integrating the solution with the hypervisor."
"The documentation could be better."
