Has anybody tested Intel vPro/AMT on this board with tools like MeshCommander?

I currently use a Synology NAS and am interested in the Asus Pro WS W680-ACE for my new NAS build, as it combines all the features I'm looking for (Plex transcoding with an Intel iGPU, ECC, remote KVM, 2.5Gb/s network, low power consumption). After reading most of the posts in this thread, I still don't quite understand what vPro does on this board or in general. In some tech specs of the board it's listed as a remote maintenance feature. Apparently, tools like MeshCommander can access Intel vPro/AMT and provide a similar functionality as IPMI, like remote KVM. Which would then make vPro a good alternative to IPMI, as some users in this thread seemingly had some issues with the IPMI features of the board. Is this correct or am I missing something obvious here?
