We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) 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."In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is to protect the data."
"The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud."
"The solution can scale well."
"Having a single pane of glass where you can have both your on-prem and anything else that you spin up within AWS is useful."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Clusters are Prism Central, Micro-segmentation, and cluster scaling automation."
"I've been very pleased with their support overall."
"The scalability is good."
"OpenNebula is easy to deploy and manage compared to other solutions like OpenStack."
"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."
"The solution provides templates for configurations that can easily be exchanged to VMs."
"The ability to use it almost like a public cloud for an organization is a big asset, as it will create a value proposition and can control costs in a great way."
"The most valuable feature of OpenNebula is that it scales very well."
"With a single click, we could set things up and initiate them."
"OpenNebula is lightweight, stable, and easy to customize."
"It is quite easy to deploy."
"There are still some things that could be improved about the product."
"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it."
"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
"We've had some challenges with the implementation."
"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."
"Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be."
"The pricing can be better."
"The protocol for clusterization is rough and doesn't work well."
"The storage feature that they have is a bit confusing."
"There are no payment gateways in OpenNebula."
"They have been saying for the past two and a half years that they would develop a feature to hot-add RAM and CPU, but it does not work."
"They should add more features like object storage."
"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."
"The UI, monitoring, and alerting could benefit from further improvements."
"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."
