We performed a comparison between Morpheus and vCloud Director 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."Provides a good automation platform."
"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."
"Morpheus is an intuitive solution that is very easy to use."
"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."
"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 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 of vCloud Director for me is its user-friendly UI, which is much easier compared to other platforms."
"The orchestration and automation are very valuable."
"The solution has more capabilities than OpenStack and integrates well with NSX and vCenter."
"It has helped us with user segmentation and QA."
"This is the go-to tool for anyone looking for standard out-of-the-box capabilities in a fully multitenant public cloud software that they can leverage to offer services to their customers."
"This solution has helped us make money and provision our clients faster."
"There are various options for scaling and that flexibility is a good option."
"The most valuable feature of vCloud Director is the scaling architecture that they have built."
"The service is limited and somewhat lacking."
"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've been facing some challenges with Morpheus due to its design for public cloud usage."
"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 solution's pricing and customization need to improve."
"There is room for enhancement in integrating Morpheus with other solutions."
"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."
"In version 6.7, compatibility to migrate VMs from a vCenter to vCloud Director had a problem. However, this has been solved in the newest version."
"There are some shortcomings. There are bugs with opening support."
"If you have a deployed environment and lose it, you can't easily deploy it back with vCloud Director. Because of this reason, we don't have the data protection, disaster recovery, and container features."
"Sometimes, there is a disconnection that happens between vCloud Director and its underlying VMware vCenter, where the actions are supposed to be taking place, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It could be more stable. We have had issues with multiple different versions."
"The product could use a billing feature so we can automate billing for clients."
"Lacking additional services reduces the level of cloud integration companies just love with Amazon and Azure."
"The solution should add other hypervisors so things like hover wizards can be automated."
