Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Nutanix, IBM and others in Cloud Management."OpenNebula is lightweight, stable, and easy to customize."
"The most valuable feature of OpenNebula is that it scales very well."
"The live migration feature has been great and is something we use very often."
"With a single click, we could set things up and initiate them."
"It makes maintenance very easy and stress-free for our teams."
"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."
"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 service feature appeals most to us, thus it is the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is Optima, which is something that we use quite extensively."
"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."
"As with all enterprise software licensing, the pricing is not intuitive and must be negotiated; grandfathered contracts are better than anything offered today."
"Backup features are only available in the enterprise edition. The community version lacks a good solution for making backups."
"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."
"The UI, monitoring, and alerting could benefit from further improvements."
"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."
"There are no payment gateways in OpenNebula."
"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 protocol for clusterization is rough and doesn't work well."
"There is a problem with integration due to invalid private node security certificates."
"Technical support is an area that can be improved."
