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. What do you dislike about Virtual Machine Manager? 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. Recommendations to others considering Virtual Machine Manager: You won't be disappointed, try it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Virtual Machine Manager solving and how is that benefiting you? I am almost exclusively involved in development. So I spin up new VMs for testing all the time, create & destroy, many times over. Having VMM at my fingertips means it's all really quick and easy to do, and I can click a few times and create a new VM, test it, and know for sure how it's going to work when I go to deploy into the cloud for a customer.
