Pros & Cons
Pros
Under esx i have 2 ports teamed and the other 2 setup as pass-through devices for vms to use directly. This one is intended to run the vsphere/vcenter 7. Not cheap but works with esxi 7.
Using the nic in a dell r610 server that's loaded as a checkpoint firewall. This specific nic is the only nic that's officially supported by checkpoint.

To disable it, you have to download the intel boot agent software, which i did, but it doesn't work with this card.

Not only a good value but an exceptional product!
Shipping
Card arrived 5 days after placing my order.
Competitiveness
As a point of reference, a competing broadcom-based solution took 3x as long to transfer the same volumes of data.
