We performed a comparison between Morpheus and OpenNebula 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."The user interface of the application is exceptional."
"It supports many features, and it also supports some of the automation that Cloudify supports. So, in addition to just giving you basic platform management—such as the ability to deploy virtual machines and have multitenancy to log in and perform all of your basic platform management tasks—it also supports automation. You can, for example, spin up three virtual machines, and you can have each virtual machine configure each other. You can do service chaining with it. You can run scripts in Dash and Python, or you can use tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef. All of this is just built into the tool. It is a very powerful tool."
"Provides a good automation platform."
"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 most valuable feature for me was cost optimization."
"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. It is extremely stable and easy to install. It is also very scalable. Their support is also extremely good."
"The most valuable feature of Morpheus is its strong integration with vSphere Cloud."
"Morpheus provides a very easy and one-click solution to scaling up and down."
"I also like the ability to build custom functions. I can define a function where I have two types of views and configure the dependencies. The virtual data centers concept allows me to define users. If a user wants to join certain kinds of machines, the host and the other user won't see them. It gives me the flexibility to define multiple views and data centers in one place."
"For the entire data center, as a private cloud, I believe that user management, expert management, and the virtual data center is completely magic for the users."
"It is quite easy to deploy."
"OpenNebula is easy to deploy and manage compared to other solutions like OpenStack."
"The most valuable feature of OpenNebula is that it scales very well."
"The service feature appeals most to us, thus it is the most valuable."
"OpenNebula is lightweight, stable, and easy to customize."
"OpenNebula has very good integration with SAP Storage."
"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."
"There is room for enhancement in integrating Morpheus with other solutions."
"The solution's pricing and customization need to improve."
"The service is limited and somewhat lacking."
"We've been facing some challenges with Morpheus due to its design for public cloud usage."
"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."
"I faced a few problems while deploying."
"We had to put in much effort ourselves since Morpheus's support wasn't always available to help us."
"They should add more features like object storage."
"It should have a simple REST API like most other tools. It's the industry standard format. An XML-RPC API gives you an XML document that you have to convert and then do something with that. REST API endpoint provides outputs in a JSON document. I would also like to see support for user data or heat templates, which OpenStack offers, but OpenNebula doesn't have this yet."
"Backup features are only available in the enterprise edition. The community version lacks a good solution for making backups."
"The front-facing API can be improved to support lots of requests when the platform is huge with lots of virtual resources."
"The UI, monitoring, and alerting could benefit from further improvements."
"There are no payment gateways in OpenNebula."
"Hosting platforms are limited so the deployment process needs improvement."
"The storage feature that they have is a bit confusing."
