On SCM -

1. Is there a plan to get the Security Configuration checklists? Is there a roadmap of incorporating maybe CIS checklists?

2. What is the Policy Engine Editor under SCM?

Are all the above features going to be available in the next release? Any announcement timelines?

This post is Jan2023, any updates in Mar2023?

Hi all, are there any plans to allow the VMAN capacity planning reports automated/scheduled? As far as I'm aware they are still completely manual and point in time, so very clunky to use regularly across many clusters. Even being able to create these via API would be nice.

Seems over the years that VNQM has moved from the back seat to the trunk. Feature requests are near no existent and some simple common sense issues are never fixed.

Recent upgrades too have destroyed our CDR platform yet “Dev Team” never come to the party to have a look. Poor engineer get the cold shoulder from them as well.

Hopefully some magic occurs soon before our licence renewal but as of today, be highly recommending to management not to bother any longer on the product – Shame really.
