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."OpenNebula is easy to deploy and manage compared to other solutions like OpenStack."
"It is quite easy to deploy."
"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."
"What's best about OpenNebula that people like is that it's easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage. It's interesting because people choose OpenNebula over other solutions because of the ease of management."
"OpenNebula has very good integration with SAP Storage."
"For the entire data center, as a private cloud, I believe that user management, expert management, and the virtual data center is completely magic for the users."
"The live migration feature has been great and is something we use very often."
"The asset management tools are very valuable."
"The way this solution has helped us is that it improved our communication."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. A person just needs to join a team to access the network and that's all."
"The solution is very capable and user friendly."
"The end-to-end ticketing process is most valuable in ServiceNow IT Operations Management because its notification feature is excellent in keeping all users informed on the next step compared to BMC. I also like that ServiceNow IT Operations Management is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of the solution are discovery, cloud governance, event management, and service mapping."
"It helps streamline management and processes."
"It is easy to use and simple to learn."
"Hosting platforms are limited so the deployment process needs improvement."
"An area for improvement in OpenNebula is the number of features it has. The solution doesn't have that many cloud features compared to other solutions. You'd say, "Okay, simplicity over a rich feature list?" Some say, "No, I need a big machine or a cloud interface for my customers to manage resources. I don't have to go and do it for them." Some people do it that way, and it works, but I'd like to improve the limited features in OpenNebula."
"As with all enterprise software licensing, the pricing is not intuitive and must be negotiated; grandfathered contracts are better than anything offered today."
"The protocol for clusterization is rough and doesn't work well."
"The storage feature that they have is a bit confusing."
"The front-facing API can be improved to support lots of requests when the platform is huge with lots of virtual resources."
"There are small things that are hard. For example, making sure that it is going to be installable on public clouds."
"They should add more features like object storage."
"The product needs to add a workflow insight tool."
"I would like more manual issues to have automated report-facing options."
"Service mapping is pretty limited."
"There are some limitations with Discovery; some areas are not available in the installation. I would like the solution to be able to discover more devices. That will remove the need to have multiple tools."
"The out-of-the-box reporting feature is not as user friendly as other tools."
"I advise others not to customize a lot while using the solution."
"The setup and deployment could be simplified, and the pricing could improve."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management could do a little bit better with integrations. Integrating ServiceNow IT Operations Management with CMDB processes needs a little more work."
