We performed a comparison between IBM PurePower System, Rackspace OpenStack, and Vblock [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Converged Infrastructure."We never have any issues or glitches."
"The solution is stable."
"It created a reusable library with OpenStack features."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"Apart from the main features, I really appreciate OpenStack's microservices architecture and its flexibility for deployment with different tools."
"The most valuable feature is the customization. With the customization you can really give the customers what they want."
"I like its integration with GitLab and its simplicity. OpenStack has a lot of third-party libraries that it uses."
"There are many services that can be directly used which are not available in VMware."
"The documentation was plentiful and very helpful."
"The XtremIO All-Flash array delivers performance, reliability, and deduplication."
"Finding a fully bundled, deployed, and configured solution with a short delivery time and unique support is really attractive."
"The high redundancy of components has minimized frequent service degradation/failure."
"The component integration means I don't have to worry about technology mismatches."
"Some of the key features are the ease of operation and access, without constraining actions. The tool is available to actually move things around, do things quickly quickly."
"The most valuable features are reliability and high availability."
"VMware NSX: Provides the ability for our organisation to deliver true DR."
"Capability for scale and growth within a single rack brings strong possibilities for capacity planning."
"The management is really difficult when it comes to systems with traditional services."
"The seamless integration between MySQL services and the rabbitMQ database can be revised during the debugging phase."
"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."
"OpenStack's UI, while user-friendly, could be improved to offer a more intuitive experience."
"It could use more examples in different languages (API use cases)."
"So for the main stability, there have been a couple of issues that I've experienced."
"OpenStack is difficult for the novice in terms of beginning to use cloud tools."
"The integration with other vendors' products needs to be looked at. It's not as flexible as we would like it to be."
"Troublesome relationships with VCE at the beginning of our use came undone quickly after we went live."
"RCM upgrades are painful."
"OEM services requires too much planning and low availability of certified engineers."
"The implementation and support could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see a smaller footprint in the data center and have improvements to disk performance."
"While most public clouds are deployed on Linux, there is current no certified Vblock working on KVM hypervisors."
"VCE tools, like Vision or AMP were not stand alone, and depended too much on other management consoles."
