"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"I would like to see support for backing up from other platforms, such as physical machines."

Oftentimes, it is just the experience level of the team, and we have to bring in the vendor to help and validate our configuration."
"The user experience could be more friendly."
"In my view, if VMware comes up with an appliance-based solution like vCenter Server (which was also Windows-based), it will be much easier for deployment. I"
