Whatever your environment size, admin will save hours or maybe days with this tool rather than looking for a needle in the VMware KB. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately it's only for a VMware environment, nothing for Hyper-V or Xen. When implementations allow it, it would be interesting to have a way to apply the correction easily instead of follow the VMware KB > > Saves hours of research in the VMware database, help to check compliancy. ----- ### "Simple quick compliance check" — 5.0/5 > **Stephen** | *May 22, 2018* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very easy to see where you are lacking and need to be patched. As well as categorize the different issues into their importance. > > **Cons**: It would be nice to allow automated patching of systems based on your preferences. This would make this product > > Makes the life of an administrator ----- ### "Runecast has allowed me to quickly identify best practices for my VMware infrastructure." — 4.0/5 > **Swetal** | *May 16, 2018* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can see directly what VMware KBs that the hosts in my environment are affected and what steps to take for remediation. Also what best practices I should adhere to can be quickly gleaned from the Runecast console. > > **Cons**: The integration of Runecast with vCenter as a plug-in needs work. For my environment it caused crashes of the vCenter flash website many times. I finally had to remove the integration. ----- ### "Great tool to discover hidden issues within virtual infrastructure. Timesaver" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *May 18, 2018* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: simple deployment simple configuration simple update process offline update possible good visualization of issues > > **Cons**: no defined way to contact support. I did it via Twitter and then I got excellent support. They're should be a contact form on the website or within Runecast to open a ticket. > > I was able to detect issues that I wasn't aware of. ----- ### "Evaluated this product within test and production environments" — 5.0/5 > **Austen** | *August 1, 2018* > > **Pros**: It is everything the VMware Health Analyzer tried to be and much more. The comprehensive coverage of applicable KB articles, DISA STIG and best practises summarised across infrastructure qualities makes reporting current states effortless. Also, from a security perspective, the offline capability is priceless. > > **Cons**: I wish the product had been around years ago. Not much else I can really say about what I don't like about it. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/118615/runecast-analyzer?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/118615/runecast-analyzer) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
