## What it is
ManageIQ is an open-source hybrid IT management platform for discovering, monitoring, controlling, and automating virtual machines, containers, networks, and storage across clouds and virtualization providers. It provides insight (reporting, chargeback, capacity planning), control (compliance, policy), and automation (provisioning, orchestration) from a single agentless web-based appliance.

## Use cases
- manage vmware and openstack from a single dashboard
- monitor hybrid cloud infrastructure utilization and capacity
- automate vm provisioning and retirement workflows
- scan vms and containers for security compliance
- track chargeback and showback for cloud resources
- build a self-service catalog for infrastructure requests
- discover inventory across aws azure and google cloud

## When to choose
- you need a single open-source platform to manage multiple virtualization and cloud providers
- you want agentless discovery, compliance scanning, and policy enforcement
- you need self-service provisioning with lifecycle management and chargeback
- you want an extensible automation engine with a REST API

## When to avoid
- you only manage a single cloud provider with native tooling
- you need lightweight monitoring without a full management appliance
- you cannot dedicate significant resources (8GB+ RAM, PostgreSQL) to run it
- you want a simple agent-based monitoring tool rather than a management platform
