Virtualizor?
Has any provider here used Virtualizor by Softaculous(http://www.virtualizor.com/) before? I remember seeing it when it was first released and didn't think much of it, but I just checked it out again, and it actually looks pretty good now. It works almost identical to Solus based on the demo, and I am actually quite interested as their price are pretty reasonable. So, any provider here used Virtualizor before and how does it stack up against Solus?

It actually got updated to support vSwap today.
Well, to be honest we tried it when we were selecting "THE" control panel of choice for MyRSK - however, like most hosts - we preferred Solus.
They seem to be very competitive, I even got an email that they released an update today, which had many improvements and bug fixes.
It is a good piece of software, and supports openvz, xen, and kvm. They even offer good support in tickets/email.
My advice, try several panels and choose the one you and your future clients will find easy to use.
vSwap still isn't stable in the kernel, so a non-issue, but what about tun/tap and pptp
Not as far as I know:
I think I'll update and take a peek at how it is.. I really doubt they have added tun/tap and pptp support.
Actually my bad, they do have Tun/Tap support for OVZ already, I think it was there in the old version too but no PPTP support yet.
They seem to have TUN/TAP as well, http://demo.virtualizor.com:4084/index.php?act=editvs&vpsid=1 (Advance Option).
@liam yep.
virtualizor has decent performances, but there's too much bug until last version. and don't expect you'll get great support.
Have you not checked out the new version?
nope.. last time after updating to 2.1.5 version, it force me to reboot the entire server because libvirt daemon wont start anymore.
We gave up on Virtualizor and moved to Solus. Softaculous wouldn't respond to our support requests, our feature requests, or to posts on their forum. We're paying them a license fee for software that runs our business, you'd think they would have cared more.
What's interesting is that we cancelled our Virtualizor license in March or April or somewhere in there, yet, it's still updating and it's still functional... I guess it's free once you sign up. So sign up and get free Virtualizor! Still wouldn't use it if it were free...
I'm working on our own panel, and Solus is meeting our needs til then. Regarding Virtualizor: better don't!
Here are some of my rants about it:

http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/1250/what-do-you-want-in-a-vps-control-panel
and there are some other posts in other people's threads, too. I can find them, if you're interested in them.
Never actually used it but their website really doesn't "sell" it to me at all. Looks terrible.
Is there any WHMCS support
http://www.virtualizor.com/wiki/WHMCS_Module
but totally rubbish. too many error etc.
I've never used it so wouldn't know, so do you provision orders manually?
mmm not really, when i accept the order the VPS provisioned correctly, but a couple of feature there gave an error messages (from admin and/or client side).
Better don't!
