VMware Workstation has an interesting feature to manage vSphere infrastructure (and also stand-alone ESXi hosts) that is really powerful and useful, for example to avoid to install the vSphere client (or the integration plugin) just to open one VM console or to change the power status for some VM.

I don’t think it is quite where EC2 is with regard to capabilities and features but VMware is investing a lot in vCloud Air.

It’s a really good idea, but the current implementation is very limited: you can simply see your VMs and just open the VM console.

I feel the user interface/portal can be improved further. I did experience timeout issues and the UI was performing slowly at times.
