A scalable open-source solution that needs some improvement with its ecosystem

Pros

"I like its integration with GitLab and its simplicity. OpenStack has a lot of third-party libraries that it uses."

Cons

"So for the main stability, there have been a couple of issues that I've experienced."

The solution is stable, scalable, and includes many features

Pros

"There are many services that can be directly used which are not available in VMware."

Cons

"VMware has a side-to-side replication feature, which is still more mature than Rackspace OpenStack's which can't be used in a production environment."

Scaling up and down is easy, and the support for authentication, policies, encryption, and other features is commendable

Pros

"Apart from the main features, I really appreciate OpenStack's microservices architecture and its flexibility for deployment with different tools."

A flexible and scalable solution for virtual machines with different architecture

Pros

"It was a very flexible and scalable solution. It was very useful because we were not dependent on a single vendor's solution. Increasing the number of machines or changing the hardware configuration was very easy."

Cons

"The deployment process could be easy."

    The usablity of the management interface means that even non-IT literate people can use it.
