Good CMPs for cloud provisioning and excellent scalability
There is a problem with integration due to invalid private node security certificates. However, the issue can be resolved by correcting the certificates. Getting OEMs like Huawei or Morpheus to change their products is difficult, but we found a middle ground where both Huawei and Morpheus can integrate seamlessly through Terraform. So far, the integration has been successful, but it may create a problem when the platform is under a huge load of 46 million students. We have already requested the World Bank and universities to build their case. If that kind of situation arises, they can approach Huawei and Morpheus or go with Plexadera in the end. Although the RSP or SMAX are built around Morpheus specifications specifically, we still have more certified engineers in Pakistan to win that project. The higher education commission of Pakistan has already taken up the matter with both Morpheus and Huawei. VMware refused to do anything, but Huawei has agreed to change the certificate if there is an issue. We have already identified the issue, so they will correct it if the cloud solution is finally deployed for that number of students.

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.

What do you like most about Morpheus?
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.

We've been a Morpheus customer since the early days. I know what they're trying to sell now, and you'd really need a strong use case to justify the cost.

Morpheus can be improved, particularly from an analytics standpoint. The cost insight feature is really good, but I think advanced FinOps features could be a bit stronger. I would like to add more ...
