Optimized cloud costs and automated right‑sizing have reduced spend while reporting needs improvement
The best features Densify offers are actionable optimization recommendations, which tell you how to reduce costs while maintaining performance; the ML-powered predictive analytics feature, which considers historical patterns to provide recommendations; multi-cloud coverage for optimization across AWS, Azure, and GCP; and a solid balance between performance and cost. Out of those features, I find myself relying on actionable optimization recommendations and predictive analytics features the most because Densify goes one step beyond by providing recommendations considering historical patterns, especially for workloads that only spike during certain times of the month. Densify has positively impacted my organization by providing significant cost savings through right-sizing and eliminating inefficient resources, allowing faster decisions based on data, and reducing manual intervention for cloud operations, thus providing automation of basic cloud routines. I usually see a twenty-five to thirty percent cost saving in my customer's environment, and from a time-saving perspective, it has almost halved the time of the operations team.

Unified cloud governance has reduced provisioning time and simplifies multi-tenant operations
Morpheus offers several best features. The multi-cloud abstraction layer is definitely one of the best because there is a single pane of glass for all the different cloud providers. You don't need separate tooling in place. Morpheus is an MSP-friendly platform where we can have multi-tenancy, role-based access control, metering, chargeback, and showback. The user interface of the application is really good. Tenants can easily log in and see their specific environment. We can create white labeling for each of the VMs or deployments. The deployments of VMs are made really easy, and the user interface is appreciated by all new users who log into the platform and see the ease of provisioning a new virtual machine with a predefined template. Out of those features, the one that has had the biggest impact for my team and clients is, from the MSP perspective, definitely the most helpful because, as an MSP ourselves, we handle multiple end customers and clients. Our teams, because they handle multiple customers, didn't have to switch from one platform to another. They could leverage Morpheus and manage their end customers. The second aspect I would point out is the governance and policy engine functionality, where we could leverage quotas, put in a tagging strategy, and security policies in the environment. That really helped. Third, it also helped to decrease manual workflow because we had created different workflows and policies which were all automated. So it highly reduced the day-to-day activities which our operations teams used to conduct. Morpheus has positively impacted my organization by really helping to reduce provisioning times from days to minutes, which is one of the value-adds we also tell to our customers. Second, it has allowed our MSP teams to compartmentalize the tenants in a secure fashion. Third, it has decreased all manual workflow overhead which our operations team used to feel. Morpheus policy enforcement aspect has been really helpful because it has helped lower operational risk. Finally, it enables self-service workflow without sacrificing control over the different environments.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We switched to Densify because it gave us a more complete end-to-end picture of the environment and really became the system of truth across all of our environments versus having to aggregate information from many dissimilar systems."
"The Control Console provides a very easy to read dashboard of "too little/just right/too much" resources both for current data and on a historical or predictive basis."
"Densify were deemed to be the best for us at the time and they still are, for now."
"The tool will come back and tell us that we can operate with 1,000 minutes as an example, save 90% on the contractual rate and not run into any issues."
"The solution's tech support is excellent."
"I would say that the initial thing is that it provides us with a technological basis to expand capacity management beyond Excel."
"This product has provided us with a more comprehensive solution that is now replacing nearly all other tools which were previously used in the different platforms and environments within the account."
"Using the reports from Densify will provide us with the trusted advisor backing for our own purchase and provisioning decisions."
"In my organization, Morpheus is a very useful tool to automate processes—for example, provisioning new virtual machines reduces the time required, and every action is very fast using Morpheus, allowing me to prepare new environments for testing or proof-of-concept projects."
"The most valuable feature for me was cost optimization."
"Provides a good automation platform."
"Morpheus has positively impacted my organization by really helping to reduce provisioning times from days to minutes, which is one of the value-adds we also tell to our customers."
"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 platform is a centralized set to manage different clouds and your on-premise platforms."
"Morpheus is an intuitive solution that is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"Service management level integration is probably the biggest area for improvement."
"Normalization of CPU utilization is required. At present, the data is available based on entitlement level."
"It seems that the mechanism for integration is, it goes so far but I think there could be some standard integration to normal remedy service now etc. I think that should be out of the box."
"The solution's stability is the primary concern for me."
"In terms of integration, the tool has great data. However, it's not always meaningful because the true business attributes of how most Fortune 500 companies operate are not maintaining in one tool, they're in a school of many tools."
"There are times when results are very slow when we search for servers."
"Unfortunately the tools and mechanisms which really came to maturity in the cloud, and were not mainstream on-premise, are still not implemented."
"Densify can be improved in a couple of areas: the learning curve for new users, where it feels like an advanced optimization tool that needs time for full leverage; enhancements in reporting and filter options for more detailed custom reports; and improvements in UI performance since some users feel that the UI is a bit slow or outdated, especially with certain interfaces such as the Kubex Console or the Cloud Decks."
"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."
"There is room for enhancement in integrating Morpheus with other solutions."
"I faced a few problems while deploying."
"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."
"I would suggest adding integrated tools such as FinOps or other management tools as improvements to Morpheus."
"The service is limited and somewhat lacking."
"The solution's pricing and customization need to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There was some sticker shock, as this is not just another software product to spit out graphs."
"Cost is always involved, but then I feel that this solution is better than other products that we have."
"Densify has licensing setup so you can collect data without licensing. It gives you the ability to collect on everything, then choose later what you would like to license."
"Setup cost is negligible, as it scales fairly well."
"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 solution is cheaper if you have less number of servers, but it becomes very expensive for a large number of servers."
"Initially, the license may seem like a good deal, but as we grow, it becomes costly."
"The license is based on the number of virtual machines that Morpheus is managing. So, it is a pay-as-you-grow model."
