"Saves a lot of time compared to imaging physical desktops."

"Open source with very active community"
"You can easily migrate VMs between hosts."
"It is easy to deploy."
"The solution is easy to install. It can run on a lot of different types of hardware. Creating virtual machines with it is really easy."
 

Cons

"Backup and recovery could be better. It's a bit problematic."
"The virtualization can be better."
