The best of the various cloud providers in one account!

The ability to integrate multiple cloud providers into one big pool is what I like best about this service; you can easily provision any amount of servers without having an account at each provider! It took me some time but once everything was set up correctly we had no problems using our stack as intended in production environments across various clouds (AWS/GCP). We used VMs from different vendors which makes things easier when trying out new configurations because they all behave pretty much

Pros
  • No vendor lockin, it works with both AWS & GCE services.
  • Extremely flexible architecture allowing integration between many existing platforms such Microsoft Azure or IBM Cloud etc.The possibility exists here where even if not yet implemented today could be done soon enough after customer request comes along : )

Excellent Customer Service for open source software

I like that they are able to support both public cloud as well as private clouds in hybrid environments. The user interface is very intuitive which makes things easy even if you have no prior experience using this platform. It also has an excellent tool set available along side their product offering. Their customer service team can be extremely responsive when issues arise during implementation. They do not offer much flexibility around customizing your own version of any given component…

Pros
  • Very flexible architecture allowing many options regarding configuration settings across various components from networking up thru storage tiering something else lacking with Amazon services especially compared against Microsoft Azure or Google G

Best cloud management tool for the money - no comparison

As an engineer I have used many cloud solutions in my career but nothing compares to how easy this product is! The UI makes creating your Cloud so intuitive that you don't even realize its working behind-the scenes until after deployment when everything just "clicks". It has also allowed us as developers to focus more time into developing our applications rather than managing servers/infrastructure which really helps out during development cycles (and saves money). We are currently using…

Pros
  • Easy interface
  • Simple deployments with simple tools
  • Ability for non sysadmins too understand
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

All-inclusive and simple enough for anyone

The ability to have an all in one solution that is easy enought to use without needing any training at all! If you are looking into using cloud services as well then this would be perfect because its very cheap compared to other providers out there like AWS (Amazon Web Services). There really isn't anything i dislike about these products but if I had say something what should improve upon next time around we'd probably look more towards having better security measures put together instead so…

Pros
  • It's a great all in one solution that's easy to use and very cheap compared to other providers out there
Cons
  • It's not very secure and there isn't anything to improve upon to make it more secure

Excellent open source software for server virtualization

- The best support out there.- Community that really cares about solving customers' problems rather than getting "market share".- The ability to use multiple clouds at once (public/private). I dislike how cloud providers are becoming big companies like Microsoft (for example). This makes sense if you're running something proprietary but not when most people are using public solutions! We need more people from different companies in these roles so we can get better deals! Support is great and…

Pros
  • Ability for scalability with simple management software.Fast installation processEasy deploymentManagement optionsExcellent customer serviceAbilities across platformsGood community
Cons
  • Almost never

CloudMender provides flexibility and simplicity

Just like any other cloud solution out there, I like that this is flexible enough to accommodate my needs but not so complex that I have no idea how to utilize its features. There isn't much to dislike about the product itself but one feature in particular has been improved upon over time. The ability to easily add additional network interfaces (eg VLANs) to network devices such as switches/routers without having to do anything special. We use this at work to provide our customers with private

Pros
  • I like that it's open source and flexible enough to accommodate my needs
Cons
  • I dislike that I don't have a great deal of experience with it
