We performed a comparison between AWS Trusted Advisor 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."The cost optimization features are valuable."
"The Security Advisor is the most valuable feature. It instantly informs you about any system misconfigurations, and the best part is, it's completely free."
"AWS Trusted Advisor is a tool that we can use to optimize the AWS infrastructure cost."
"The cost optimization and security-related fixes in AWS Trusted Advisor have been great."
"The service feature appeals most to us, thus it is the most valuable."
"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."
"The live migration feature has been great and is something we use very often."
"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."
"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."
"OpenNebula is easy to deploy and manage compared to other solutions like OpenStack."
"It is quite easy to deploy."
"The solution provides templates for configurations that can easily be exchanged to VMs."
"For EC2 instances, we need to install the AWS CloudWatch agent to get the memory metric because we don't have a by-default memory utilization graph on cost optimization."
"The tenancy must be free for all metrics."
"Maybe adding more security rules would be great."
"I'd like the solution to support clouds beyond AWS."
"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."
"Hosting platforms are limited so the deployment process needs improvement."
"The protocol for clusterization is rough and doesn't work well."
"The UI, monitoring, and alerting could benefit from further improvements."
"Backup features are only available in the enterprise edition. The community version lacks a good solution for making backups."
"There are small things that are hard. For example, making sure that it is going to be installable on public clouds."
"The storage feature that they have is a bit confusing."
"As with all enterprise software licensing, the pricing is not intuitive and must be negotiated; grandfathered contracts are better than anything offered today."
