"System Center Virtual Machine Manager"

**Pros:** The integration between windows and a hyper-v infrastructure that can scale the compute, storage and networking by using Microsoft technologies and not third party which reduces the overall licensing costs from other vendors like VMWare or Nutanix.

**Cons:** The powershell module to automate builds and management lacks features and needs fixes and better error checking. There are no popular modules to pick from the Powershell gallery so you have to install it from their ISO and it is very challenging to move the module to another machine for remote management.

**Alternatives Considered:** [vSphere](https://www.capterra.com/p/93512/VMware-Horizon/)
