Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Nutanix, IBM and others in Cloud Management."The most valuable aspect of the solution is the interface on the console."
"It is quite easy to deploy."
"OpenNebula is easy to deploy and manage compared to other solutions like OpenStack."
"The live migration feature has been great and is something we use very often."
"It makes maintenance very easy and stress-free for our teams."
"OpenNebula has very good integration with SAP Storage."
"For the entire data center, as a private cloud, I believe that user management, expert management, and the virtual data center is completely magic for the users."
"The most valuable feature of OpenNebula is that it scales very well."
"The solution provides templates for configurations that can easily be exchanged to VMs."
"The customization should be improved."
"It should have a simple REST API like most other tools. It's the industry standard format. An XML-RPC API gives you an XML document that you have to convert and then do something with that. REST API endpoint provides outputs in a JSON document. I would also like to see support for user data or heat templates, which OpenStack offers, but OpenNebula doesn't have this yet."
"As with all enterprise software licensing, the pricing is not intuitive and must be negotiated; grandfathered contracts are better than anything offered today."
"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."
"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."
"The UI, monitoring, and alerting could benefit from further improvements."
"Hosting platforms are limited so the deployment process needs improvement."
"There are no payment gateways in OpenNebula."
"Backup features are only available in the enterprise edition. The community version lacks a good solution for making backups."
