More IBM Spectrum Computing Pros →

"The most beneficial features for us were the API integrations with various cloud vendors like Nutanix, VMware, AWS, Azure, and GCP. It saved us the effort of doing that work ourselves.""The multi-cloud integrations and the DevOps and operational integrations are the most valuable. Morpheus platform is a centralized set to manage different clouds and your on-premise platforms. It does a very good job of what it is designed to do. It is very good in terms of features.

Cons
"Lack of sufficient documentation, particularly in Spanish.""Spectrum Computing is lagging behind other products, most likely because it hasn't been shifted to the cloud.""SMB storage and HPC is not compatible and it should be supported by IBM Spectrum Computing.""We'd like to see some AI model training for machine learning.""We have not been able to use deduplication.""This solution is no longer managing tapes correctly."

More IBM Spectrum Computing Cons →

"The tool could support virtual network functions better. It is really good at doing enterprise-type of things, but one of the things on which we're working with them is loading very complex virtual machines with it, such as Juniper SRX routers. It needs to support more complex virtualized resources a little bit better. Aside from that, it is a terrific tool. We really like it.""We've been facing some challenges with Morpheus due to its design for public cloud usage.""The product has become overly complex. The biggest problem is that we find a bug, they fix the bug, but then another one pops up. We can never really deliver on the vision we had using Morpheus.""Morpheus is working hard on creating an integration framework due for release in Q2 2021 which will allow clients to create their own interfaces and integrations into any 3rd party product that has a full-function API. Morpheus is also heavily focussed on enhancing the container management side to compete head-to-head with Openshift and CloudForms in Q3 2021.""The service is limited and somewhat lacking.""There is room for enhancement in integrating Morpheus with other solutions.""The solution's pricing and customization need to improve.""I faced a few problems while deploying."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This solution is expensive."
  • "Spectrum Computing is one of the most expensive products on the market."
  • More IBM Spectrum Computing Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing is on an annual basis, and it is upfront for the year. There is no extra cost unless you want additional support or specific deployment packs."
  • "The license is based on the number of virtual machines that Morpheus is managing. So, it is a pay-as-you-grow model."
  • "Initially, the license may seem like a good deal, but as we grow, it becomes costly."
  • "The solution is cheaper if you have less number of servers, but it becomes very expensive for a large number of servers."
  • "Morpheus doesn't directly support cost optimization, but its API integration can facilitate resource optimization. It doesn't dynamically optimize resources like an aeronautic system would; it operates step by step."
