Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Converged Infrastructure."The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"The solution is stable."
"There are many services that can be directly used which are not available in VMware."
"The most valuable feature is the customization. With the customization you can really give the customers what they want."
"The documentation was plentiful and very helpful."
"It created a reusable library with OpenStack features."
"Apart from the main features, I really appreciate OpenStack's microservices architecture and its flexibility for deployment with different tools."
"I like its integration with GitLab and its simplicity. OpenStack has a lot of third-party libraries that it uses."
"Sync to Central and edge protection mitigate my risk in our branch offices. All services that need to be local to the user exist on local servers. Users run applications and access data locally while the data is constantly being synced to Central, and protected. If an edge device fails, we can recover quickly."
"OpenStack is difficult for the novice in terms of beginning to use cloud tools."
"It could use more examples in different languages (API use cases)."
"The line migration is a problem."
"VMware has a side-to-side replication feature, which is still more mature than Rackspace OpenStack's which can't be used in a production environment."
"So for the main stability, there have been a couple of issues that I've experienced."
"OpenStack's UI, while user-friendly, could be improved to offer a more intuitive experience."
"The seamless integration between MySQL services and the rabbitMQ database can be revised during the debugging phase."
"Setting up disks for use is a multi-step process that could use some refinement. Setting up a core-to-core replication or DR strategy is also cumbersome."
