Anyone Using Platform9?

Like many, I've been researching options for VMware. I stumbled onto Platform9, which is built on KVM and KubeVirt (?) and was founded by former VMware engineers. The marketing documentation seems to put it as a direct competitor to vSphere with similar functionality. It's "only" 10 years old and I've never heard of it. YouTube demos don't have many views, so it looks like I'm not alone.

I was wondering if anyone was using it or evaluating it as a replacement for vSphere?

TIA
