OpenStack Cloud Management Reviews & Product Details

The most useful aspect of OpenStack is its flexibility and scalability, as it allows for customization and adaptation of the platform to the specific needs of any organization while growing with the business. Additionally, its open-source nature encourages innovation without the costs of proprietary licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The steep learning curve and the complexity in configuration, which can lead to high initial costs of time and resources; also, the user interface and insufficient documentation are often undervalued aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Openstack is an open source freely available private cloud management and orchestration platform. It has a wide range of features (dare I say more than those available on similar commercial platforms) such as true multi-tenancy with network isolation, distributed routing, container support, automation support with ansible, puppet, chef, support for bare-metal, a wide variety of services such as LBaaS, FwaaS, VPNaaS, etc.

If you have the technical capabilitiy to understand and operate Openstack, you essentially get a full featured cloud management software for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complexity and reliability.

Openstack is complex to understand and implement. Troubleshooting is difficult unless you have the technical manpower and skillsets. Openstack uses rabbitmq as its primary messaging component and we've had several issues with rabbitmq (some due to operator error, some due to underlay network instability issues, etc.). But my beef with rabbitmQ is that is does not recover easily once the problem is fixed. Once rabbitmq is down the entire platform is down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
