Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias: all examples and instructions are exclusively for Windows Server or Windows PC environments. The tool requires Windows OS for both profiling and report generation, with no mention of Linux support or alternatives. Prerequisites and download instructions assume Windows-only usage, and dependencies (such as .NET Framework and Visual C++ Redistributable) are Windows-specific. There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or guidance provided.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether the Deployment Planner tool can run on Linux systems, and if not, explicitly state this limitation.
- If possible, develop and document a Linux-compatible version of the Deployment Planner tool.
- Provide Linux-specific instructions for downloading, extracting, and running the tool, including dependencies and environment setup.
- Offer examples and guidance for Linux administrators, such as using Wine or other compatibility layers if native support is unavailable.
- List any Linux alternatives or workarounds for report generation (e.g., using LibreOffice Calc instead of Excel).
- Ensure that future documentation includes parity for both Windows and Linux environments, especially for VMware administrators who may prefer Linux-based management servers.
