      This product is no longer available as a free product.

      Well that just sucks and changes a LOT of things. We really need to find a good management product for the Hyper-V space.

      I asked her when this happened and she said 6-7 days ago

      Oh okay, at least we aren't completely out of touch. but boy that sucks.

        ManageEngine may be the only other solution out there (at least that I can think of)

          ZoHo products leave much to be desired.

          Why is a third party manager for Hyper-V needed?

            Not needed, but can make Hyper-V was nicer. 5Nine isn't web based, though, and doesn't run on anything but Windows so it was never great, but it was an upgrade. Without 5Nine you want Windows tools for GUI access to Hyper-V (consoles and such, PS is fine otherwise) and that creates version dependencies and such that are less than ideal.

            This is the weak point for me with Hyper-V. Extremely difficult to manage centrally or at scale. MS expects you to buy their own "third party" SCCM support product to do Hyper-V management well and that doesn't work for most people either because of cost and/or because it's limited to a single company.

            For MSPs, for example, things like XO are godsends. Centralized management for multiple installations, no need for Windows licensing just for a GUI interface, etc.

                Maybe someday @olivier will integrate support!

                    If he doesn't soon, someone else will. 5Nine has kept that part of the market at bay with a free offering. This is going to change how other vendors view that space, very quickly.

                      I don't see where it gives you a console. That's really the only important part.

                          Oh I'd happily be a XO user if Xen itself was not the ugly step sister of the VM world. Some of the stuff it is doing is just too special to really throw it into the mix of offerings, so its hyper-v or (heaven help us) VMWare.

                            @wirestyle22 without a console, you might as well be on PowerShell.

                                            Yup, but not on Hyper-V

                                            I stand corrected. Thanks
