We performed a comparison between CloudBolt 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 initial deployment was super easy."
"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."
"The solution's biggest advantage is flexibility"
"Role-based access control and application blueprinting."
"I find the self-service features valuable."
"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."
"It is quite easy to deploy."
"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 service feature appeals most to us, thus it is the most valuable."
"OpenNebula has very good integration with SAP Storage."
"OpenNebula is easy to deploy and manage compared to other solutions like OpenStack."
"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."
"The management of SaaS must be improved."
"Could increase the number of integrations and add more out-of-the-box work flows."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's not intuitive enough to click anywhere in the solution and make it work."
"The area of integrating on-prem and cloud needs improvement."
"The scheduling feature of CloudBolt needs improvement because sometimes, it doesn't work."
"The protocol for clusterization is rough and doesn't work well."
"Hosting platforms are limited so the deployment process needs improvement."
"They should add more features like object storage."
"As with all enterprise software licensing, the pricing is not intuitive and must be negotiated; grandfathered contracts are better than anything offered today."
"The storage feature that they have is a bit confusing."
"Most of the competitors are offering some sort of billing software to transform their installation to work as a small-sized public cloud, but those offerings from OpenNebula are still missing."
"Backup features are only available in the enterprise edition. The community version lacks a good solution for making backups."
"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."
