Seeking input on integration with VTTs

Can I get some input from other GMs on things like Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, etc & how well they integrate with HL and Realm Works. I am trying to simplify as much of my prep as possible & this feedback will help me a lot.
 
As far as I am aware all the major VTTs support HL character imports, D20 Pro, Roll20 Fantasy Grounds are all in that group.

I am awaiting the Final release of D20 Legacy/Classic v3.4 to test it, but it has supported HL imports for some time.
 
We're using D20Pro & it does have some issues with importing Mythic characters.

But other than that, it's working well for us.
 
Keep in mind that, while the static character info can be brought into most the VTT's, things like conditions are not fully integrated. What ever condition modifications a given VTT use might work, but there's no guarantees that the bonuses and such will stack properly all the time - at least not as reliably as it does directly in hero lab.

This is the main reason I've been wishing for a long time for some sort of API that can activate abilities and such in hero lab, and pull updated stats from there - that way a VTT could be designed that let Hero Lab do all the math for it (leveraging Hero Lab's already rather complete game system rules). The few dev responses I have gotten from the requests have been pretty negative, so I don't hold out hope for it.

D20 Ultimate shoudl have this built in, and there was alot of talk around the Kickstart about better support of Herolab and integration with realm works, we of course will have to see what comes of it. However the main road map fro D20 just got sent to us, and its looking sweet!

I am really hoping for RW integration more than anything, since HL handles the characters just fine, no need to bring them into the VTT when you play around same table.
