Seamless upgrades, stable, and easy to deploy

We've been facing some challenges with Morpheus due to its design for public cloud usage. Their main focus is on allowing customers to deploy virtual machines to Azure, Google Cloud, AWS (and other private or public clouds they support). They provide features such as guidance and cost optimization. However, we're using Morpheus for on-prem v center clouds, which is probably not the user base norm. We are very pleased with the dashboard and multi-tenancy capabilities, but there are some challenges when deploying and configuring the more complex Telco workloads that have advanced networking. The integration of the NSX-T needs to be refactored. As I have been working on the API, there are some issues with the workflow engine in the automation that need to be addressed. For example, I need to be able to flag a task as fail or continue on fail if something goes wrong in the workflow. Currently, if one of the tasks in a twenty-task workflow fails, the remaining nineteen are not run, which can be a problem if one of those tasks is critical, such as when patching or doing security tasks. Thus, workflow enhancements and improvements are necessary. Morpheus desires the ability to control the full life cycle of a virtual machine from beginning to end. We have many vendors who want to establish virtual machines, but we want users to access them through Morpheus. We want the VMs to be provisioned from an external system and then be managed in Morpheus so users can only perform limited activities without being able to delete or provision them. We are currently working on resolving this issue, which I refer to as reconciliation. I have asked the developers to implement multi-tenancy, where each tenant has their own landing page at a unique URL. However, we are using groups, not tenants, so there are features we can do with tenants that we cannot do with groups. Specifically, I am trying to get the developers to add notifications support so that when a group member logs in to the Morpheus portal, they can be informed of their VMs' maintenance schedule at a specific time. This is a feature I have requested them to add. We are generally pleased with Morpheus, however, due to some restraints and restrictions, we are utilizing it differently than the majority of its users. This creates some difficulty.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"You can scale it easily."

"I can define all components and create a blueprint for consumption across all services."

"The solution is agile and it has APIs for integration."

"Cisco CloudCenter's scalability is good."

"The initial setup is fairly straightforward if you have a basic setup."

"The initial setup process is straightforward."

"The solution includes a lot of features and is useful because you can configure all the way down to ports."

"Cisco has a lot of published information and documentation that helps users understand the product and its offering very well."

More Cisco CloudCenter [EOL] pros

"It supports many features, and it also supports some of the automation that Cloudify supports. So, in addition to just giving you basic platform management—such as the ability to deploy virtual machines and have multitenancy to log in and perform all of your basic platform management tasks—it also supports automation. You can, for example, spin up three virtual machines, and you can have each virtual machine configure each other. You can do service chaining with it. You can run scripts in Dash and Python, or you can use tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef. All of this is just built into the tool. It is a very powerful tool."

"Morpheus is an intuitive solution that is very easy to use."

"Morpheus provides a very easy and one-click solution to scaling up and down."

"The most valuable feature of Morpheus is its strong integration with vSphere Cloud."

"The most beneficial features for us were the API integrations with various cloud vendors like Nutanix, VMware, AWS, Azure, and GCP. It saved us the effort of doing that work ourselves."

"The most valuable feature for me was cost optimization."

"Provides a good automation platform."

"The multi-cloud integrations and the DevOps and operational integrations are the most valuable. Morpheus platform is a centralized set to manage different clouds and your on-premise platforms. It does a very good job of what it is designed to do. It is very good in terms of features. It is extremely stable and easy to install. It is also very scalable. Their support is also extremely good."

More Morpheus pros

Cons

"They should provide an entire cloud offering, from architecture to network security features."

"The tool should improve its security on the XDR part."

"They can add some of those features to make the platform more usable for different backgrounds and developer skills."

"You don't get all the solution's benefits if you have older switches."

"The solution needs to be more simple."

"For many clients, the main problem with the solution is the price. Cisco is very expensive. If they could somehow make the pricing more competitive, that would be a big draw."

"Improvements are needed in UI and multi-tenancy for this solution."

"I'm not a big fan of CloudCenter. I don't have anything against it, however, the on-premise version has been so hard to upgrade and maintain."

More Cisco CloudCenter [EOL] cons

"We've been facing some challenges with Morpheus due to its design for public cloud usage."

"There is room for enhancement in integrating Morpheus with other solutions."

"The service is limited and somewhat lacking."

"The tool could support virtual network functions better. It is really good at doing enterprise-type of things, but one of the things on which we're working with them is loading very complex virtual machines with it, such as Juniper SRX routers. It needs to support more complex virtualized resources a little bit better. Aside from that, it is a terrific tool. We really like it."

"The product has become overly complex. The biggest problem is that we find a bug, they fix the bug, but then another one pops up. We can never really deliver on the vision we had using Morpheus."

"Morpheus is working hard on creating an integration framework due for release in Q2 2021 which will allow clients to create their own interfaces and integrations into any 3rd party product that has a full-function API. Morpheus is also heavily focussed on enhancing the container management side to compete head-to-head with Openshift and CloudForms in Q3 2021."

"I faced a few problems while deploying."

"The solution's pricing and customization need to improve."

More Morpheus cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is extremely expensive and has additional fees for things like monitoring."

"The tool's pricing is balanced with the market."

"The tool's pricing is expensive."

"The solution is cheaper if you have less number of servers, but it becomes very expensive for a large number of servers."

"Licensing is on an annual basis, and it is upfront for the year. There is no extra cost unless you want additional support or specific deployment packs."

"Morpheus doesn't directly support cost optimization, but its API integration can facilitate resource optimization. It doesn't dynamically optimize resources like an aeronautic system would; it operates step by step."

"The license is based on the number of virtual machines that Morpheus is managing. So, it is a pay-as-you-grow model."

"Initially, the license may seem like a good deal, but as we grow, it becomes costly."
