"The most valuable feature of OpenNebula is that it scales very well."
"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.

"Hosting platforms are limited so the deployment process needs improvement."
