We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"I find the self-service features valuable.""Hybrid cloud platform for VM and app deployment and management, with very good stability. It's customizable, easy to set up, and can be deployed within half an hour.""Role-based access control and application blueprinting.""The solution's biggest advantage is flexibility""The initial deployment was super easy."

"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.""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.""The most valuable feature of Morpheus is its strong integration with vSphere Cloud.""Morpheus provides a very easy and one-click solution to scaling up and down.""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.""Morpheus is an intuitive solution that is very easy to use.""The user interface of the application is exceptional.""Provides a good automation platform."

Cons
"The area of integrating on-prem and cloud needs improvement.""The solution is not easy to use. It's not intuitive enough to click anywhere in the solution and make it work.""The scheduling feature of CloudBolt needs improvement because sometimes, it doesn't work.""Could increase the number of integrations and add more out-of-the-box work flows.""The management of SaaS must be improved."

More CloudBolt Cons →

"We've been facing some challenges with Morpheus due to its design for public cloud usage.""I faced a few problems while deploying.""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.""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.""We had to put in much effort ourselves since Morpheus's support wasn't always available to help us.""The service is limited and somewhat lacking.""There is room for enhancement in integrating Morpheus with other solutions.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The system is cheaper if a customer has fewer servers since you pay by the node."
  • "The solution is reasonably priced."
  • "I rate the pricing an eight out of ten because the solution is expensive."
  • More CloudBolt Pricing and Cost Advice →

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