Actually we have tried vployment within our company and found it lacking and cluttered. This solution although cumbersome itselfs offers useful features without limitations set forth by vployment freeware edition.

Vployment is good just not worth it.

In regards to:
"Also Encryption not availabe in latest version. When it is available it will come at the cost of tweaking the ESX kernel with a RedHat Encryption .RPM"

esXpress v3.1 contains encryption and no RPM for gnu-gpg needs to be installed on the host (like the version 2 of esXpress required)

Thanks for the good words.

Great Product for the price. Fast, easy to install, easy to use. Backup is GUI based, however restores can only be done from within the shell environment. Full, and Delta Incramental modes available. Also backup to a VMFS or an FTP site. Also Encryption not availabe in latest version. When it is available it will come at the cost of tweaking the ESX kernel with a RedHat Encryption .RPM

Overall great buy for the price. But not a lot of bells and whistles to support retention policies. Great add to an existing Windows backup infrastructure.

This product is cool, but there are certain features that make it difficukt to know whether or not its actually working. The screen does not refresh within the app unti patching is complete. Also the Reboot button reboots the ESX host regardless of the yes/no answer you provide.

Overal a good tool, saves countless hours blown on Patching.
