James,
I used the VM once when Opsview 3.0 was released. I wanted to see the differences to Opsview 2.14, as you moved to a new Nagios version. I was quickly convinced. It even took me more time to download it than to test it. My current 'peek to the new features' is just upgrading my production systems J I tried several prefab VM's of other vendors too, and most of the time the conclusion was the same as the conclusion I took before I tried it by reading the features on their website. Almost all VM's are usable for 5 minutes, after which you decide to either start a deployment plan or stop thinking about the product. In both cases, the VM is deleted the same day. My 2 cents on this.

The primary audience from Opsera's perspective is those people who want to try Opsview for the first time. I'm wondering how many regular Opsview users use the Virtual Appliance for other purposes such as trying new features? We often hold back the new Virtual Appliance for a while after a new release is published. One reason is the time overhead involved in updating and publishing the VM, another is that we want to ensure there are no serious bugs. This may not be ideal for existing community users wanting to try out the new release. Does anyone have a view on this? We looking into how we handle Virtual Appliance releases in the future and any feedback will be taken into consideration. -- James
