We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Computing 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."Spectrum Computing's best features are its speed, robustness, and data processing and analysis."
"We are satisfied with the technical support, we have no issues."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is the policy driving resource management, to optimize the computing across data centers."
"This solution is working for both VTL and tape."
"Easy to operate and use."
"With a single click, we could set things up and initiate them."
"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."
"The live migration feature has been great and is something we use very often."
"OpenNebula has very good integration with SAP Storage."
"It is quite easy to deploy."
"It makes maintenance very easy and stress-free for our teams."
"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."
"What's best about OpenNebula that people like is that it's easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage. It's interesting because people choose OpenNebula over other solutions because of the ease of management."
"SMB storage and HPC is not compatible and it should be supported by IBM Spectrum Computing."
"Spectrum Computing is lagging behind other products, most likely because it hasn't been shifted to the cloud."
"Lack of sufficient documentation, particularly in Spanish."
"We have not been able to use deduplication."
"We'd like to see some AI model training for machine learning."
"This solution is no longer managing tapes correctly."
"Backup features are only available in the enterprise edition. The community version lacks a good solution for making backups."
"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 front-facing API can be improved to support lots of requests when the platform is huge with lots of virtual resources."
"There are no payment gateways in OpenNebula."
"They have been saying for the past two and a half years that they would develop a feature to hot-add RAM and CPU, but it does not work."
"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."
"The UI, monitoring, and alerting could benefit from further improvements."
