We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Morpheus is an intuitive solution that is very easy to use.""Provides a good automation platform.""The most valuable feature for me was cost optimization.""The most valuable feature of Morpheus is its strong integration with vSphere Cloud.""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 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.""Morpheus provides a very easy and one-click solution to scaling up and down."

"With this platform, users could migrate to the cloud on the go and use public cloud services like Oracle database while integrating with their own local storage.""The most valuable feature is Optima, which is something that we use quite extensively."

Cons
"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.""The solution's pricing and customization need to improve.""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.""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.""We've been facing some challenges with Morpheus due to its design for public cloud usage.""I faced a few problems while deploying.""The service is limited and somewhat lacking.""There is room for enhancement in integrating Morpheus with other solutions."

"Technical support is an area that can be improved.""There is a problem with integration due to invalid private node security certificates."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Licensing is on an annual basis, and it is upfront for the year. There is no extra cost unless you want additional support or specific deployment packs."
  • "The license is based on the number of virtual machines that Morpheus is managing. So, it is a pay-as-you-grow model."
  • "Initially, the license may seem like a good deal, but as we grow, it becomes costly."
  • "The solution is cheaper if you have less number of servers, but it becomes very expensive for a large number of servers."
  • "Morpheus doesn't directly support cost optimization, but its API integration can facilitate resource optimization. It doesn't dynamically optimize resources like an aeronautic system would; it operates step by step."
  • More Morpheus Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price is higher than an open-source product, or CloudForms, or IBM Cloud Pak, but it is still not very high."
