I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

I would rate the product a seven out of ten. 

CloudForms has been acquired by IBM from Red Hat. IBM has no technical support under its portfolio. It's not been officially announced by IBM where they stand. It is confusing. There are other tools in the market, such as ServiceNow or  Micro Focus CMP, which are direct competitors to Red Hat CloudForms. However, when Red Hat CloudForms is compared to the others, I prefer to use just Red Hat CloudForms because of the features, such as scalability, openness with integration, and other self-onboarding services.

I rate Red Hat CloudForms an eight out of ten.

I think I would recommend other products since Red Hat CloudForms isn't maintained well if I am not wrong.

Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.

I would rate the product a four out of ten since its implementation is not as good as it sounds. 

Red Hat doesn't support CloudForms anymore, IBM now does because they traded CloudForms to IBM for a different solution. IBM doesn't have enough people that know the solution well enough to support it. IBM has neglected the solution to the point where now it's becoming more and more unusable every day.

We did the pilot on Red Hat CloudForms and we did the test and evaluation, but we decided against pursuing it.

My advice to others is to look for another solution. There are a lot better solutions in the market. The solutions we did evaluate were better. VRA is not as good as it could be but it was better than Red Hat CloudForms.

We're a Red Hat partner. I work as a Principal Solutions Architect.

I'd advise other organizations that, before selecting a product, they must finalize their business department. They should only make a call on the solution if all of their requirements get fulfilled - including compliance. Various products have a level of support compliance that matches with Red Hat, but it's important to check. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

We're partners with Red Hat.

I'm not sure of which version of the solution we are using. It's some aspect of version four.

We use both hybrid and on-premises deployment models.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate the solution at a five.

I'd advise an organization considering implementing the solution to first, before selecting a product, finalize their business department. They should create a list of all of their requirements to ensure they get fulfilled. That needs to include compliance. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. If they made it more user friendly and plug-and-play it would really help people adopt it faster.

Its deployment was done by Red Hat for us. We had help from the best experts. I would advise others to get a few days of services from Red Hat so that they are able to get technical expertise from them if required.

I would rate Red Hat CloudForms a seven out of ten. If they had made it a little bit more stable and easier, I would have easily given it an eight.
