Will the VQ Conference Manager replace Cisco TMS?

[Meddane]

I ready many discussions about the VQ Conference Manager as the the most complete management solution for Cisco Meeting Server. Does it replace Cisco Telepresence Management Suite?

Depends, how you define "replace".

TMS is a Cisco product and VQ Conference Manager is a 3rd party product.

So, I wouldn't call it "replacement", since Cisco won't replace it's own product with a 3rd party product (Well known, that TMS will die in the future).

It's just another product to manage CMS.

But it is recommended by Cisco. I notice there is a Demo in cisco dcloud: Cisco Meeting Server v3.5 with VQ Conference Manager

And what has a recommendation to do with a replacement?

I mean, there are lot of recommendations on 3rd party products to use, where Cisco has it's products.

A recommendation is just a recommendation, nothing more nothing less.
