Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The API with CloudStack made integration into various external facing web applications simple enough.""CloudStack helped us showcase our features through process visualization and functional solutions.""Over the years, we have valued CloudStack for its stability.""The structuring of the components and isolated environments helped us when using parts of the framework at different levels of product development.""The platform is very simple to scale-out.​""You can use a single API to get things done, rather than multiple APIs on multiple modules.""The product gives us the ability to orchestrate large virtual environments and is flexible enough to allow us to configure it for what we need. We value the flexibility of the networking feature set as well as the ability to build virtual private clouds.""Killer features for me were: support for many hypervisors, ability to match business logic, "everything in one box," available APIs."

"The customization is excellent.""From a compliance and visibility reporting perspective, the fact that it can be applicable for multi-cloud environments is very helpful."

Cons
"The area of improvement could be the regionalization aspect. For example, managing multiple regions or HubStack deployments together was not thought out thoroughly in the versions I used. We faced issues around managing the global infrastructure and had to develop around it.""The absence of the feature, deploy an instance from a snapshot, is the weak point of the platform. It is a feature that everyone needs nowadays.""It would be great to have a couple of “external” networks for VPC and have the possibility, for each domain, to choose they type of “external” network.""​The user can't upload SSH keys from the UI. We have to use the API for this, and it is not always convenient.""This product needs a lot improvement on the development side. Every new version introduces new bugs. It lacks many features needed for NFV like DPDK, SR-IOV support, etc.""CS has very descriptive logging, and every time I faced issues and asked for help, I didn’t get any reply from the community. Reason? Its quite obvious. CS runs on specific environments, unique to each case. So, unless it is a functional issue of CS, nobody can help you. All issues were resolved by myself going through logs. This is another reason why you need smart enough people to manage it. Engineers must have knowledge of hypervisors and understand how CS interacts with them.""Environment is sensitive, so, unlike VMware, you can not afford middle-skilled engineers, they will ruin everything.""For time consuming operations like storage migrations, volume Snapshot restore and the like, we faced issues like MySQL operations timing out and status update failures. Those areas needs improvement."

"The general input I have is that there is an opportunity for them to better align with other similar tools and better align with similar capabilities that cloud suppliers deliver natively.""It would be ideal if there was customization with a focus on specific cybersecurity areas or capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The Apache CloudStack is open source, so you do not have licenses to purchase."
  • "​Give an effort to planning. If possible, contract a specialized consultant company for the initial setup and knowledge transfer.​​"
  • "As far as I know, CS is still free of charge. If you want to pay some money, Citrix Cloud Platform is based on CS, I think. As for hypervisors – everything as usual, you need to pay for VMware and vCenter. As for XenServer, recently they changed the free feature list, so you may need to pay some money to get useful features like XenMotion."
  • "There is no license, so the product is free unless you are buying professional technical support services."
  • "CloudStack is an open source solution, so you don't need to pay anything for it. When our company develops something specially for CloudStack, it is donated to the Apache Software Foundation and provided to anyone that wants to use it."
  • "The solution is open-source and free."
  • "It is a 100% open-source solution needing just an Apache license. Also, there are no hidden fees to be paid."
  • "CloudStack is an open-source product."

    Top Answer:The product had some limitations. So, I decided to write my own stack from scratch. The product does not have an easily implementable payment gateway. It must provide a payment gateway hook in future… more »
