OpenStack Reviews & Product Details

I like that OpenStack gives you full control to build and manage your own cloud. It’s flexible, supports different hypervisors, and lets you scale resources as needed — all while being open-source. Great for learning and real-world cloud deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s quite complex and feels like a standalone ecosystem. It takes a lot of time to fully understand how everything works together, especially for newcomers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Opensource.

Can integrate with many 3rd party vendor software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficult to setup.

More features need to be included in GUI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You are in control of all the services and software, you can go to the root level of each service and modify it to your needs. We can use this to even create our cloud service platform over on-premise hardware. Moreover, it has a very useful visualization interface to get a clear picture of the infrastructure we build upon it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Few of the plugins or SDN need to be configured a lot and be even maintained timely. I would suggest using Ansible to manage those configurations as it will be automated then. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The versatility and hybrid-cloud capability of openstack make it the best solution for custom-tailored configurations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OpenStack requires more infrastructure to get started than other big vendor solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is open source. By having the know-how to implement it, you can build your own cloud environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The installation process of each package and its integration complicated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Freely available on-prem cloud software orchestrator.

Excellent top-down design with widest range of features (virtual networks, bare-metal support, container support, integrated VM and container support, vlan-aware VM support), etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complex architecture. Hard to get experienced personnel to support huge clouds and train new personnel.

Stability not the best (hard to get five nines inspite of providing redundancy for most components and services). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has high formidable expectations which I like all the same in this private cloud system which offers rackspace through Openstack as the main service for its respective function in general, among these aspects is a fast uptime in the software For mobilized management, log to the simple platform for more efficient workflow, maintain capacity and performance analysis for the latest data on each customer.

Does not have supervision of the company's digital supplies obtaining significant losses for this add-on that helps the beneficiary and not to the economic failure, the prices can be difficult to understand since it has various packages for its different accesses of functions for each client , thanks to its inconsistent interface that contains few tasks for user manipulation, especially when they are beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its main advantage is that as it is an open source tool it is completely free, therefore it is an ideal tool for all organizations and therefore it would not affect their economic aspect. It is a very easy to use and highly scalable tool, therefore it is not necessary to have highly trained personnel to use it, its comfortable interface allows you to quickly adapt personnel.

One of the most useful and frequent features of OpenStack is container management, therefore it should be a bit simpler and less complex because it is the most commonly used by users and it is complex to delay their work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best part is its an Open source solution with support of compute, storage, networking and UI. It has got great community support with deployment tools and scripts readily available. Best for utilising the onprem devices. Great third party plugin support to meet the requirements. Open to mostly all kinds of hypervisors, storage and network solution to integrate with.

Docs are not updated with the changes happening with it. Openstack Deployment is not very easy. Troubleshooting is a bit difficult for a newbie. Scope for Architecture improvisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Openstack provides massive flexibility for deploying and managing virtual machines when combined with a GIT CI/CD pipeline it can massively reduce the time for each development cycle. Many other companies are using OpenStack due to the cost and so it is good to be using popular software that enables us to support customers better. The online documentation is great and very detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Openstack is quite complex and has a steep learning curve if you're prepared to invest the time it is great. Due to the nature of the software having in house experts is beneficial as many users struggle with some aspects and requiring everyone to be an expert incurs significant time costs. Having multiple users working on the same OpenStack deployment can create inter-team friction due to normal users being limited inwhat details they can view about the OpenStack deployment.
