It's a nitpick but I thought its strange in the web console, main left navigation bar, it saying "Access & IAM".

Because IAM = Identity & Access Management

well, i just wanted to get a feeling what experience it would be using their web console and it seems they still have some limitations in place that have long been solved by other "hyperconverged vm-deploy" players.

Want to spin up not only 1 but 20 instances via the console? Nope. Any kind of guest agent in the virtual machine? For direct interop? How is the guest filesystem freezed during snapshot creation? Checkpoints for incremental vm backup? They seem to use raw images, not qcow2? Why?

etc..

They have 14-years of catch up to do, to be parity with Nutanix and the likes.

Not being negative ... just calling out this is offering is super late to the game.

You are being negative though. You could have phrased that as "they are still new, but I hope they can catch up", which doesn't imply they messed up by being late to the game.

Disruptors never have feature parity to established players in their first offering.
