iVMControl VMware® vCenter&ESX User Reviews

Top reviews

Great, but could be better

This app seems like it’s abandonware… I wish there were modern alternatives to it. I haven’t found any apps that allow the same control right from my phone—even when vsphere is not working. It feels odd to open an app and see it be a shrunken screen and design language from many OS versions ago. I really hope a true update happens at some point.

No support

It is a great app. I’ve been using it for years however, remote console is not working and the website they refer you to does not exist.

No tech support

Once you guess how to configure the app it's pretty handy, I'm using it with a home lab and a Vmug license of vsphere 6.5. I bought the console plug in and can't figure out how to configure it and there has been NO response from them as far as tech support or even example screens, no help built into the app. Again, once I guessed on the configuration it's kind of fun to use. If you're out there tech support, please answer my requests, buy at your own risk that you will guess how to use it.

Does not work with ESXi Free

The program appears to be solid, but I really wish I knew nothing would work on ESXi before I wasted $15. Bought app for $10 and then console add-on for $5. All worthless on the standard ESXi free version. Cannot start or stop VMs, can't connect via console. Really can't do anything at all other than see a list of your VMs. Can't control the main server either.

Great app

Connected right away via VPN to my vcenter and I was able to manage mostly everything. Integration with an rdp app would be great but as it sits I am satisfied!

Works but broken

App works the some tasks (power control) but the virtual console is now buggy (right click and viewing issues)

Doesn't work anymore

Used to work before iOS 9.2. Now it doesn't. Obviously there's no support from the developer.

Doesn't really work with esxi

Description said it does, but at the very end a note indicates it doesn’t due to limitations by vmware. Pointless for me to use as read only

Works great

Sufficient app for easily checking status and performance of your host as well as guest systems. Reboot, power down, power up, VMotion etc. are all there. Console access can be a bit confusing to get set up at first, but I did eventually get it to work.

Avoid

Avoid. Costs 4.99 per VM for console access.

Excellent app

Solid app. Clean design and easy to use. The remote console is a must and has saved me time.
For the price the value is great.

Good features, mediocre interface.

Lots of powerful features. The guy needs to hire a user interface designer though as it needs an overhaul of the interface. Also, VM templates improperly show up as VMs.

Bugs

Mouse not working in windows server 2008r2 via console. Also app crashing on right mouse click

Needs some updates

VNC crashes on nearly every site I work.

Stats only. Console is extra $4.99 PER VM

I'm really disappointed. Maybe I jumped too quickly at buying it, but I thought for $9.99 it would have console access.

Need Iphone 5 and IPad

Great app overall. Took start since no iphone5 or ipad support. Still use it to check hosts and view stats. Could use better stats measure of units.

Developers responsive -1 star for crash

Overall this is a very good program. I took off one star because it crashes if you try to choose tasks. Tasks only work if you have a full VMware setup. Which I do not. They fixed crash issue. Adding a star.

Definitely worth buying the console in app purchase. One note on in app purchases: If you decide to delete the application. It will remove your Ability to use the console. Simply repurchase the in app purchase again and even though it looks like it will charge you it will not. Thusly giving back your purchase.

I like to use this for restarting my vms What use your than walking into windows and using VM Console

Quality Manager

I used this to remotely control and monitor our VM Servers. Works great once setup and port is open to access remote console.

Great app

I use everyday to monitor my environment. It is liberating not to have to do this from a PC anymore.

Fix the host reboot command.
Add more details to task list and events.
Add storage vmotion.

Thanks.

Mr

Great app
