Suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and offers role-based access controls for granular control

We're an MSP, and we need a customer-facing dashboard to present services. It's the only thing that gives multitenant features and role-based access controls. And we also need to integrate the reporting for monthly service reporting. So, that's the main use cases for us. The role-based access…

Offers significant improvements in cost savings and efficiency and has good automation

We mainly use OpenNebula for automatically deploying Kubernetes clusters and replacing our (old) Proxmox infrastructure. OpenNebula has been a game-changer for our organization. Since implementing it, we've experienced significant improvements in cost…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"From a scalability perspective, I found the solution to be completely fine...The solution's technical support is absolutely fine."

"I like the tool's controller facility."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is application control."

"I like the product's asset management which gives clear hardware details."

"The firewall and site-blocking features are valuable."

"I am very comfortable with it, including it's reporting on threats and through its activities."

"It does a little bit better than some of the other products health-wise and updates-wise. It is really clear that a firewall is getting the signature updates in this timeframe. In some of the other products, usually, you have to go a couple of screens in to see that, but not so much in this product."

"The documentation has been satisfactory."

More Fortinet FortiPortal pros

"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."

"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 most valuable feature of OpenNebula is that it scales very well."

"The live migration feature has been great and is something we use very often."

"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."

"With a single click, we could set things up and initiate them."

"The solution provides templates for configurations that can easily be exchanged to VMs."

"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."

More OpenNebula pros

Cons

"It's useful for us but if it had more educational reporting, it would good. It's not necessarily lacking but it's an area that could get better."

"The solution is more expensive than other products."

"The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity."

"Fortinet FortiPortal could improve by providing a learning portal and better security."

"I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down. In particular, I find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer just because of those functional breakups in the logs."

"So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go."

"The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires."

"If you are a very small company or a person on your own, it's harder to get any response from technical support."

More Fortinet FortiPortal cons

"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."

"Backup features are only available in the enterprise edition. The community version lacks a good solution for making backups."

"The web interface could be better. It's not very difficult to use, but there's room for enhancement."

"The storage feature that they have is a bit confusing."

"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."

More OpenNebula cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortinet FortiPortal is relatively expensive, but being an industry-leading firewall, it does come with a cost."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"The solution is quite expensive."

"On average, it tends to be cheaper than other enterprise solutions."

"The licensing costs attached to the solution make it an expensive product."

"I am satisfied with the pricing for this solution."

"Fortinet FortiPortal is expensive in Pakistan."

"Fortinet FortiPortal is not expensive."

"The licensing for OpenNebula used to be free, but now it's no longer free. A customer contacted me asking to move to another provider because of the changes in the licensing terms for OpenNebula. I have no information on how much the OpenNebula license is because the customer pays for it, and I only do the integration."

"We use the Community Edition, rather than the Enterprise Edition."

"OpenNebula gives good value for money."

"The solution is open source so is free."

"VRA is very expensive but OpenNebula is free."

"OpenNebuoa has recently come up with a new subscription model that is economical and a lot of new customers are choosing this as it is an easy subscription model."
