Explanation

VMware Tools isn't a single application but a set of drivers, services and user processes that's installed in a guest operating system. They add a wide assortment of functionality to VMwareinfrastructures -- everything from improving color depth and video resolution in the vSphere Client to memory optimization. Typically, an outdated version of VMware Tools doesn't have an immediate impact. But with every update to vSphere, you'll likely have to update VMware Tools on every virtual machine.
