The solution is compatible and integrates with various infrastructures or vendors. You provide APIs and integration occurs, even with vendors that are not out-of-the-box partners. For example, integrations are possible with Nexus, Solaris, RBC via an Oracle API, IBM, VMware, OpenStack, and Red Hat.

CloudForms has been acquired by IBM from Red Hat. IBM has no technical support under its portfolio. It's not been officially announced by IBM where they stand. It is confusing. There are other tools in the market, such as ServiceNow or Micro Focus CMP, which are direct competitors to Red Hat CloudForms. However, when Red Hat CloudForms is compared to the others, I prefer to use just Red Hat CloudForms because of the features, such as scalability, openness with integration, and other self-onboarding services. I rate Red Hat CloudForms an eight out of ten.
