Private Cloud Software

The biggest challenge is cost and complexity. Even with nonprofit discounts, the licensing and add-on pricing adds up quickly for a lean organization, and it takes real budget planning to justify. The platform is powerful but has a steep learning curve, so onboarding new staff and volunteers takes time and I often end up building custom training. Some of the more advanced features effectively require a consultant or a lot of admin hours to configure well. Performance can lag on very large reports, and the frequent seasonal releases occasionally change behavior I've built around, so I have to keep an eye on release notes to avoid surprises.

Before Salesforce, our donor, volunteer, and program data lived in scattered spreadsheets and disconnected tools, which made it hard to get a single, trustworthy view of our operations. Now we have one central system where we track donations, manage volunteers, and monitor field response programs, so our development, operations, and leadership teams are all working from the same data. Automating acknowledgments and intake with Flow has cut down significantly on manual work, and real-time dashboards let us report on meals served and donor impact without pulling numbers together by hand. The biggest benefit is speed and confidence in our data, which matters a lot when we're standing up disaster response quickly and need to act on accurate information.

Acronis integrates well with the Microsoft 365 environment, which is useful for protecting cloud data alongside endpoint backups. I also found it convenient to manage endpoint protection and backup activities from the same platform rather than relying on completely separate tools. The centralized approach makes it easier to manage different protection requirements across users and devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Acronis helps us centralize backup and protection for endpoints and Microsoft 365 data instead of managing these tasks through separate solutions. It makes day-to-day administration easier by providing a single console for managing devices, protection policies, backups, and alerts. This has helped simplify deployment and monitoring, improve visibility into backup status, and reduce the manual effort required to manage multiple devices and customer environments.

The pricing is one big thing. Broadcam has increased the price of it overall with no real value add to it. We also don't like the overall change to a subscription model. While we mentioned the integrations as a postive, we do wish there was better built in automation for vmware so we wouldn't have to write a 4000 line script just to create a virtual machine.

Support is also not good. 9/10 times you have to hope that someone ran into the issue and they logged the fix for the wider userbase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's helping us with deploying our apps through virtual boxes and also providing a solution that allows us to create VDIs for our contractors. Also, thanks to how it integrates with our network policies, we are able to delegate the permisiions and access each contracting organization will need to perform their tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing and licensing is the biggest pain point honestly, after the Broadcom changes the cost went up a lot and the bundling of licenses is confusing for smaller teams like ours. The web client can also feel a bit slow or laggy sometimes, especially when managing a lot of hosts at once. Learning curve for new team members is steep too, takes a while to get comfortable. I would really like to see more flexible licensing options for smaller businesses instead of the big bundles. Also the web interface could be made a bit lighter and faster. Better documentation for troubleshooting common errors would help new admins a lot too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use VMware vSphere for server consolidation and resource allocation, reducing hardware needs and improving utilization. It allows seamless VM migrations during maintenance with no downtime, and its resource management balances loads effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are limitations that Lambda can only execute for 15 min; if there is any function that needs to operate for more than 15 min, then Lambda is not a suitable service. Also, the memory and disk space are limited, thes which makes a few operations tough Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, our only real complaint is that we have to request limits for IP addresses each time we want to add new ones, and that process can sometimes take longer than we’d like. That said, we understand this is in place to help prevent abuse, so we can see the reasoning behind it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They’ve made it easy for us to host our public-facing infrastructure by providing timely updates, quick responses, and effective monitoring. We’ve relied on their services for several years, and although we’ve tried other providers in the past, those alternatives didn’t meet our needs. So far, Akamai has been the best provider we’ve worked with, and they’ve helped us save money on the servers and infrastructure we host through them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Staging environments come with reduced performance - not the full suite of features of the live environment and while there is an optional upgrade, would have been nice if its built-in as a standard item or atleast offered as a temporary pay per use / credit based when needed for a short duration. Nothing else to complain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ensures fast loading speeds with an intuitive, easy-to-understand MyKinsta panel that makes it very easy for a non-technical person to be able to manage everything in-house without hiring technical staff, while still providing enterprise-level performance, features and page speeds at a nominal cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside is operational complexity. Managing instance configuration, networking, permissions, external integrations, and container dependencies across multiple hosts can be time-consuming. Troubleshooting host-specific differences is also harder than with a more fully managed platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon EC2 provides the flexible compute infrastructure we need to run containerized backend services across environments. It lets us deploy consistently, select appropriate instance types, and integrate with other AWS services, and directly access hosts when troubleshooting. The AWS console uI also makes it easy to inspect instances, networking, metrics, and configuration in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside I’ve noticed is that some of the more advanced configurations aren’t very beginner-friendly. If you’re completely new to VPS or cloud hosting, a few of the settings can feel a bit overwhelming at first and may take some time to get used to. Also, certain premium features are only available on higher-tier plans, so when you scale up, the monthly cost can rise faster than you might expect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We experienced a temporary slowdown on one project’s website during a traffic spike, and the support team quickly helped us optimize server-level caching and resource allocation. After those adjustments, the site’s loading speed became noticeably more stable and consistent. I also appreciated that their technical guidance was practical and solution-focused, rather than relying on generic support replies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that could be improved is the pricing. As projects grow, the costs can add up. I also think having a few more advanced managed services and more region options would make it even better. Overall it's been a good experience, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use DigitalOcean to quickly deploy applications and manage servers with minimal setup. It saves time on creating environments for testing or hosting, and its developer-friendly interface and clear documentation solve issues efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much we dislike about Control Plane. After using it for four years, we have not run into any significant drawbacks or tradeoffs that stand out. When we have encountered problems, their team has been quick to address and resolve them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest problem Control Plane solves for us is cost. We are able to save on our cloud infrastructure costs while still having the flexibility to use one or multiple cloud providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hosting our "mono repo drupal application" as a "poly site project".

Every tenant has their own:

- database

- filesystem

- feature flags activated

All from one code base.

Deployments can be triggerd manually or automatic, easy to handle.

Setup of new client infrastructure can be automated. And is up in minutes to run the same code in a new project.

I can focus on developing the application and dont have to be afraid of handling the infrastructure for it.

We self hosted lagoon for 1/2 year and switched the to fully managed service by amazee. Best decision ever for my work live balance as CTO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t think there’s anything I dislike. I’ve never had any issues, as long as the setup is done correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve automated many scheduled network operations to track network traffic and online devices, and to build reports for stakeholders. Event-driven triggers also help field engineers initiate service provisioning and validate fibre tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While operating with a large chunk of server deployments, we face a few issues. Mostly they are simple to resolve from our end and in case it its a high priority issue, then we connect with Morpheus Customer Support Team who resolve our production issue at minimal time. Recently we had a problem with cloud sync and its support team updated the database schema which effectively resolved the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While working with backup integrations in AWS, Morpheus Data provides usage of stored procedures & credentials in its platform. This reduces the complexity involved with accessing the AWS resources as all the IAM roles and policies are defined in their utility. We can also provide specifications on runtime for our external systems without interrupting our tasks which is helpful. This eliminates the need to rebuild the plugin every time we do modifications to the user credentials and this feature saves a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free resources can run out fairly quickly if a project becomes more active, and pricing can feel confusing when you're just experimenting. I've also had a few deployments fail because of configuration mistakes, and while the logs usually help, the error messages aren't always obvious for beginners.

Railway lets me focus on building projects instead of spending time configuring infrastructure. For personal projects and college work, I can deploy a backend in minutes, test changes after every GitHub push, and share working demos with others much faster than if I had to manage a virtual server myself.

Hostwinds known to be a little pricier than other providers perhaps, but I switched to them from a lower-priced provider so I could get honest feedback about my site and about my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I have nothing negative to say about HostArmada. Everything from support to performance has been excellent. After using multiple hosts, I genuinely can’t find a single thing I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HostArmada solves the biggest problems I faced with previous hosts: slow, inexperienced support, unreliable uptime, and poor WordPress expertise. Their team responds incredibly quickly, often within minutes, and the staff are highly knowledgeable about WordPress. They’ve helped me optimize my sites, fix issues fast, and avoid downtime multiple times. Thanks to them, I now enjoy rock-solid uptime, blazing-fast performance, and peace of mind knowing expert help is always just a click away. It’s made managing my websites much smoother and less stressful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the biggest weakness is the UI. I don’t see this as a major issue—or something more IT-focused, technical users wouldn’t be able to work through—but as we welcome more "mudbloods" into the tech world by making everything low-code, no-code, whatever-code, I can see it becoming a problem. The interface just isn’t as clear for people who are newer to the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Build times become more noticeable in monorepos and in projects with a large number of generated pages. Caching helps when enough of the previous build can be reused, but changes that invalidate a large portion of the project can still take a while. On a small application, that delay is easy to ignore. Once several developers are opening pull requests and each one generates a preview, concurrency and overall build consumption start to become part of the delivery conversation. Deploy Previews reduce the work of maintaining temporary environments, but they don’t make those environments free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A checkout redesign had already passed local testing when the client asked marketing, design, and QA to review the variants before anything reached production. The pull request produced a Deploy Preview with its own configuration, the Netlify Functions used by the new flow, and a payment variable pointing to the test environment. Design left feedback through the Netlify Drawer, and QA caught an issue that only showed up when a user returned from the payment provider. The Function logs made it clear that the same callback was being processed twice. We corrected the idempotency logic, updated the pull request, and everyone re-reviewed the fixed version using the same preview link, rather than waiting for another temporary environment to be set up. After release, a dependency triggered a failure on a less frequently used route, so we used Instant Rollback to restore the previous deploy while the fix was being prepared. Netlify didn’t prevent the defect, and it didn’t replace proper test coverage. What it did change was how quickly the team could review the real build, trace the problem to the exact Function version, and recover production without having to improvise a rollback while the client was already watching.
