Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Nutanix, IBM and others in Cloud Management."It gives us the ability to manage and segregate a guest network with openvSwitch and VLAN IDs."
"Over the years, we have valued CloudStack for its stability."
"It is very easy to install and manage. It has the all modules in one node, unlike other software (OpenStack). The product allows a customized look and feel, and the ability to add custom workflows."
"You can manage infrastructure with a few people, since product is monolithic. We had three engineers (storage, virtual, Linux admins) only. Also, CS supports different flavours of hypervisors."
"I liked the separation of the isolated network versus the shared network."
"The most valuable feature from my point of view is access to environment via console through separate browser window."
"It works, and pretty much always has. Reliability and support for enterprise features, with a multi-tenant interface, makes CloudStack a very compelling solution."
"When compared to OpenStack, CloudStack is also an open-source platform that is continuously improving its features and capabilities with each new version release. Having worked with CloudStack 4.7, 4.14, and most recently, 4.17, I have noticed significant enhancements in the platform's features and customer experience, such as the introduction of a new user interface in the latest release. Notably, the latest versions have made major improvements to VM live migrations, making them more efficient and effective."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the interface on the console."
"It is not widely used so Google does not help very much when you are troubleshooting, and the CloudStack forum is not very active."
"It's really hard to delete zones, clusters, datacenters. You need to follow strict rules, which were not properly documented at the time."
"I would like to see support for native VLAN, and fault-tolerance."
"The area of Apache CloudStack that could stand the most improvement is the functionality/features around the virtual routers. They can be somewhat cumbersome to deal with at times and are the least stable piece of the product."
"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 user can't upload SSH keys from the UI. We have to use the API for this, and it is not always convenient."
"A technology upgrade is one item which could be improved upon a lot."
"The numerous, multi-layered drill-down menus make it difficult to find one simple knob to turn."
"The customization should be improved."
