We performed a comparison between CloudBolt 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."Hybrid cloud platform for VM and app deployment and management, with very good stability. It's customizable, easy to set up, and can be deployed within half an hour."
"The solution's biggest advantage is flexibility"
"I find the self-service features valuable."
"The initial deployment was super easy."
"Role-based access control and application blueprinting."
"The most valuable feature of OpenNebula is that it scales very well."
"It is quite easy to deploy."
"The ability to use it almost like a public cloud for an organization is a big asset, as it will create a value proposition and can control costs in a great way."
"With a single click, we could set things up and initiate them."
"OpenNebula is easy to deploy and manage compared to other solutions like OpenStack."
"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."
"OpenNebula has very good integration with SAP Storage."
"It makes maintenance very easy and stress-free for our teams."
"The area of integrating on-prem and cloud needs improvement."
"The management of SaaS must be improved."
"Could increase the number of integrations and add more out-of-the-box work flows."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's not intuitive enough to click anywhere in the solution and make it work."
"The scheduling feature of CloudBolt needs improvement because sometimes, it doesn't work."
"The front-facing API can be improved to support lots of requests when the platform is huge with lots of virtual resources."
"There are small things that are hard. For example, making sure that it is going to be installable on public clouds."
"Most of the competitors are offering some sort of billing software to transform their installation to work as a small-sized public cloud, but those offerings from OpenNebula are still missing."
"The protocol for clusterization is rough and doesn't work well."
"They should add more features like object storage."
"Backup features are only available in the enterprise edition. The community version lacks a good solution for making backups."
"An area for improvement in OpenNebula is the number of features it has. The solution doesn't have that many cloud features compared to other solutions. You'd say, "Okay, simplicity over a rich feature list?" Some say, "No, I need a big machine or a cloud interface for my customers to manage resources. I don't have to go and do it for them." Some people do it that way, and it works, but I'd like to improve the limited features in OpenNebula."
"Hosting platforms are limited so the deployment process needs improvement."
