Learning curve when moving from PolyServe is very low. I would refrain from using DxTransfer for moving databases & jobs
If you have used PolyServe and are looking for an alternate before it is EOL, I strongly recommend DxConsole. The learning curve for those who have used PolyServe is very low and the system works great. I would refrain from using DxTransfer for moving databases and jobs, but it works nice for moving users. There is a new version of DxTransfer, but we have not had need to use it since we set up our systems. Update - I strongly encourage people to upgrade from DxConsole to DxEnterprise. It works a lot better, is more stable and has much faster failovers. On top of that it has extra features not available in DxConsole.

Efficiently manages development environments with robust network integration
I recommend new users download and evaluate the free version from VMware's website. Once satisfied, they should purchase the professional version for a smooth and secure IT infrastructure. The professional version is cost-effective, allowing one to create multiple servers on a single server. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.
