"There are many services that can be directly used which are not available in VMware."
"It created a reusable library with OpenStack features."
"I like its integration with GitLab and its simplicity. OpenStack has a lot of third-party libraries that it uses."
"The documentation was plentiful and very helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the customization. With the customization you can really give the customers what they want."
"Capability for scale and growth within a single rack brings strong possibilities for capacity planning."
"UCS Manager worked well for net/blade management and has allowed fairly easy use of dedicated bare-metal blades."
"It's an integrated box Mac solution, so it's a plug and play. The deployment and build is pre-made and ready to deploy. It makes it easy to apply."
"The most valuable feature is that it is centrally managed, as it is quite easy for our customers to manage everything, end-to-end."
"The most valuable features are reliability and high availability."
"The component integration means I don't have to worry about technology mismatches."
"It has improved system performance, batch times for off-hours processing, and reliability with production applications."
"The XtremIO All-Flash array delivers performance, reliability, and deduplication."
"The management is really difficult when it comes to systems with traditional services."
"The line migration is a problem."
"OpenStack's UI, while user-friendly, could be improved to offer a more intuitive experience."
"So for the main stability, there have been a couple of issues that I've experienced."
"The seamless integration between MySQL services and the rabbitMQ database can be revised during the debugging phase."
"VMware has a side-to-side replication feature, which is still more mature than Rackspace OpenStack's which can't be used in a production environment."
"OpenStack is difficult for the novice in terms of beginning to use cloud tools."
"It could use more examples in different languages (API use cases)."
"Tighter alignment could simplify and speed up the configuration and delivery process."
"It needs more customer/client involvement in back-end management."
"While most public clouds are deployed on Linux, there is current no certified Vblock working on KVM hypervisors."
"RCM upgrades are painful."
"RCM upgrades were not scripted, and you needed to roll on your own. We were led to believe this would be otherwise."
"Improve the patching process and timeliness of updates/releases."
"The integration with other vendors' products needs to be looked at. It's not as flexible as we would like it to be."
"Troublesome relationships with VCE at the beginning of our use came undone quickly after we went live."
