We performed a comparison between AWS Control Tower and OpenNebula based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is incredibly user-friendly and functions seamlessly."
"One of the standout advantages is the fine-grained control it offers in terms of permissions and privileges."
"The most significant benefit of Control Tower is its capability to align with our organization's standards."
"There are two features in Control Tower which are the most valuable. One is the guardrails because it has preventive and detective guardrails."
"AWS Control Tower helps to save a lot of work and manage multiple accounts."
"It provides a central point for account management, access control, and compliance monitoring."
"Security is the most valuable feature of Control Tower."
"AWS Control Tower helps companies save costs."
"The ability to use it almost like a public cloud for an organization is a big asset, as it will create a value proposition and can control costs in a great way."
"It makes maintenance very easy and stress-free for our teams."
"OpenNebula is easy to deploy and manage compared to other solutions like OpenStack."
"I also like the ability to build custom functions. I can define a function where I have two types of views and configure the dependencies. The virtual data centers concept allows me to define users. If a user wants to join certain kinds of machines, the host and the other user won't see them. It gives me the flexibility to define multiple views and data centers in one place."
"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 live migration feature has been great and is something we use very often."
"The most valuable feature of OpenNebula is that it scales very well."
"The tool's setup is very technical. Its pricing can be cheaper."
"It is essential to clarify that this isn't necessarily a drawback of the service, but having a clear and concise set of predefined guidelines from AWS for moving existing accounts under AWS Control Tower would be highly beneficial as it would simplify the process and make it more user-friendly."
"The process of closing an AWS account using Control Tower needs improvements to simplify it, especially when managing multiple accounts."
"The integration with other AWS functions has room for improvement."
"It could be improved by having a more intuitive graphical interface. It could also include other coding languages like PowerShell and Python, as it would be beneficial for DevOps recommendations."
"There should be more automation security tools in the Control Tower."
"The solution's stability could be improved."
"The sole drawback is its restriction to enable only one Control Tower."
"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 storage feature that they have is a bit confusing."
"Hosting platforms are limited so the deployment process needs improvement."
"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 small things that are hard. For example, making sure that it is going to be installable on public clouds."
"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."
"They should add more features like object storage."
