Might be the greatest thing since sliced bread...
What is interesting about it? What does it add that we are lacking?

That was supposed to be a "sarcasm" emoji.
I was interested because it services XS & Hyper-V (which is something you had suggested to the folks at XO)
I use Hyper-V now & I've been looking (albeit still on the fence) at XS. -

It does XS + HV but... what does it do? The advantage to XO is that it is a single pane of glass. So having it cover several bases is a big deal. Alike just does a subset of functionality, right?

Is it possible to have a system failover to another system with zero actual failure?
of course I know the answer is yes, we've seen this in video where a laptop is watching a video that's streaming from one VM and that VM is moved/failed over to another server and the video either never stops... or has a small kinda pause, but no actual failure.

Alike is also claiming single pane of glass, backup in one hypervisor - restore in another etc

Single pane of glass means all VM management, replication, capacity monitoring, failver, etc. Alike does that?

Um... yes?
LOL. What did you want me to answer there?

Don't know about failover, but the other stuff yes (per the website), remember, my experience with this product is zero.

Interesting.

I was in the wrong thread/.

I figured that out.

I'm watching the videos trying to figure out what it does. Looks like a decent product but haven't seen any single pane of glass stuff yet.

Did you at least find one compelling feature?
