Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Nutanix, IBM and others in Cloud Management."CloudStack supports every operating system that supports hypervisors, which makes the product more attractive, compared to vCloud Director or Azure."
"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."
"The back-end database design is simple and straight forward. The user interface is designed with external users in mind. Billing is relatively straightforward with this product. Not being restricted to just one hypervisor was nice."
"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."
"I liked the separation of the isolated network versus the shared network."
"CloudStack, by default, gives us a zone-based setup which makes it easier to manage datacenters located in different geographical areas."
"The most valuable feature from my point of view is access to environment via console through separate browser window."
"The structuring of the components and isolated environments helped us when using parts of the framework at different levels of product development."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the interface on the console."
"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."
"It's really hard to delete zones, clusters, datacenters. You need to follow strict rules, which were not properly documented at the time."
"A technology upgrade is one item which could be improved upon a lot."
"The product does not have an easily implementable payment gateway."
"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."
"The user can't upload SSH keys from the UI. We have to use the API for this, and it is not always convenient."
"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."
"I would like to see support for native VLAN, and fault-tolerance."
"The customization should be improved."
