We performed a comparison between CloudStack and HPE Eucalyptus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."CloudStack helped us showcase our features through process visualization and functional solutions."
"Multiple types of hypervisor support, multi-zone support, and VPC are great valuable features."
"Key features include stability, centralized management design that scales well, and transparent interoperability with different hypervisors and manufacturers.."
"CloudStack supports every operating system that supports hypervisors, which makes the product more attractive, compared to vCloud Director or Azure."
"I liked the separation of the isolated network versus the shared network."
"We had a relevant reduction of bureaucracy tasks."
"The initial implementation process was quite good."
"You can use a single API to get things done, rather than multiple APIs on multiple modules."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the interface on the console."
"I would like to see support for native VLAN, and fault-tolerance."
"Lack of support for third-party software vendors such as Veeam and Zerto creates limitations on comprehensive offerings which would include backup and disaster recovery."
"The numerous, multi-layered drill-down menus make it difficult to find one simple knob to turn."
"There are some minor things that can be improved even more such as, perhaps, a bit more polishing on the GUI side to catch up with the API possibilities (which are really extensive) but otherwise nothing critical."
"VPN P2S is cutting all connections except the CloudStack environment for the user when he is connected. I would like to have VPN like Cisco's AnyConnect."
"Companies need to be knowledgeable about cloud technology. It's not for novice users."
"For time consuming operations like storage migrations, volume Snapshot restore and the like, we faced issues like MySQL operations timing out and status update failures. Those areas needs improvement."
"I encountered some stability issues. When I tried to remove high-capacity virtual machines it took a long time to update, and sometimes the VM status failed to update properly in the cloud database. This occurred multiple times, even though I had sufficient resources."
"The customization should be improved."
