Review on Coriolis by Hassan Tomlinson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Most used virtualization tool ever and still going strong

I really like that it allows me easy access from my desktop or laptop without having an additional application installed in another system/host machine as well which can be very resource intensive if you have many such applications running at one time (in this case i mean VMs). You cannot run multiple instances of OVF files for same VM so its best suited only when u need just two vm servers but not more than 2-3 with different images each! The UI needs some works especially navigation part; sometimes gets stuck while navigating through menus although there are enough tutorials available online regarding their use etc.; better support by corio team would help users learn these features easily ; also maybe add options where we could choose between GUI vs CLI tools? Very simple yet powerful solution provided us few times now whenever our environments get compromised due too malware attacks!!

Pros
  • Easy deployment via web interface
  • Ease to deploy new vms quickly within short span.
  • Best way is using command line tool directly instead installing any agent server / service locally, though they provide agentserver option still why do install local instance unless required otherwise no other good reason except learning purpose.i guess.
Cons
  • Almost never
