Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Nutanix, IBM and others in Cloud Management."The structuring of the components and isolated environments helped us when using parts of the framework at different levels of product development."
"I liked the separation of the isolated network versus the shared network."
"CloudStack’s private gateway networking feature is what enables us to offer utmost security and confidentially to our customers and partners, by enabling them to connect to their virtual data centers via dedicated, encrypted, private fiber lines that never touch the public internet space. Ease of setup and management are certainly important additional benefits for us on the engineering team."
"Over the years, we have valued CloudStack for its stability."
"CloudStack, by default, gives us a zone-based setup which makes it easier to manage datacenters located in different geographical areas."
"Key features include stability, centralized management design that scales well, and transparent interoperability with different hypervisors and manufacturers.."
"I have been impressed by CloudStack's most recent updates around Kubernetes. In particular, they have worked with Kubernetes to support the Cluster API, and you can now easily integrate Kubernetes into CloudStack and get access to a lot of good features."
"Killer features for me were: support for many hypervisors, ability to match business logic, "everything in one box," available APIs."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the interface on the console."
"The numerous, multi-layered drill-down menus make it difficult to find one simple knob to turn."
"It's really hard to delete zones, clusters, datacenters. You need to follow strict rules, which were not properly documented at the time."
"This product needs a lot improvement on the development side. Every new version introduces new bugs. It lacks many features needed for NFV like DPDK, SR-IOV support, etc."
"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."
"From time to time there is a bug in calculating limits of resources for customer domain/account. Maybe it’s a problem with 4.9.2."
"My teammates have complained about the upgrade. The source code had massive files that had to be merged with our own development to upgrade to the latest version of CloudStack. It was quite painful for them. CloudStack could add some cost management tools to give me some control over the costs associated with the number of users of my services."
"It would be a good to have more specific error messages within administration processes (e.g. problem with creating new instance)."
"The user can't upload SSH keys from the UI. We have to use the API for this, and it is not always convenient."
"The customization should be improved."
