OpenNebula Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Products Manager at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees4.5OpenNebula is central to our cloud services, efficiently managing both shared and dedicated virtual resources. Its cluster management and VXLAN support are highly valued, yet improvements are needed in API performance. We achieve significant cost savings compared to VMware.
CTO at Encha3.5I use OpenNebula for NodeWeaver's GUI due to its scalability. However, its template system needs improvement, and the lack of payment gateways made me reconsider. I switched from OpenStack, which had issues with plugin compatibility and version control.
CTO at BE.iT SA4.0We transitioned from VMware to OpenNebula for cloud management due to its flexibility and ease of integration with our IT systems. While it's effective in managing virtual machines, the web interface and hardware integration need improvement. Overall, OpenNebula is a mature product.
Manager, DevOps System Engineering team at MX4.0We run our SaaS platform on OpenNebula VMs in colocation data centers, leveraging its API, SDK, and custom modules for automation. While useful, upgrades are complex, support is mediocre, and pricing isn't intuitive, affecting our overall experience.
Principal DevOps Engineer at Guavus4.0I use OpenNebula for stable, KVM-based virtual private clouds, valuing its easy setup, Marketplace, and custom functions. I desire a REST API and user data templates, finding it simpler and less feature-rich than OpenStack, but great for specific use cases.
Cloud Engineer at a comms service provider with 1-10 employees4.0I find OpenNebula easy to deploy and manage, empowering client self-service and proving stable. However, it needs more features, better template management, and simplified networking for new users, despite my 8/10 rating.
System Architect at a tech services company with 51-200 employees4.0I find OpenNebula easy to use, scalable, and stable, with excellent SAP Storage integration and straightforward setup. While its clusterization protocol is rough and open-source forum support can be limited, it's a good solution. I rate it 8/10.
Associate principal engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees4.0I found this open-source solution great for cloud management due to its easy VM template exchange, outperforming Azure/AWS. While stable and scalable, initial setup is challenging. Hosting platform limitations and upgrade compatibility are areas needing improvement.
