Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
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. | They are a very mature product. The stability of the solution is very good. We haven't had any issues with it. |
Cons | |
They should add more features like object storage. | Because the solution needs to integrate with other products that surround it, there is a lot of configuration required, and this can be quite complex. It's not as easy as it is with, for example, VMware. The complexity of the solution is a bit high in comparison to VMware. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
VRA is very expensive but OpenNebula is free. | Information Not Available |
