    Platform9
    If you're having OnPremise Infrastructure and you want to use OpenStack in that case Platform9 Managed OpenStack is recommended to use it will cut down all the complexities of setting up and managing OpenStack IaaS. Platform9 also offers setting up OpenStack on Cloud Such as AWS, GCP, and Azure but wouldn't recommend using this kind of offering as Openstack performs well when underneath virtualized infrastructure is backed directly hypervisors not cloud providers.

    Cons
    Apache
    • Sometimes you can find undocumented bugs that can compromise the entire infrastructure.
    • [If] you don't have an official support channel, you have try to find out the source of the problem by yourself.
    • Volume size limitation. Other players allow you to create volumes up to 64TB while ACS allows only 2TB volumes

    • User interface and User experience are not upto the mark. UI needs lots of improvements.
    • We need to do entire setup from the scratch.
    • Nothing as such other than UI Improvements.

    Apache
    The University, my first large implementation, had a big issue with 149 small data centers spread on São Paulo State, this data centers costs to university were very high, the consolidation idea in two data centers were awesome, but were worried with the management, so we adopted ACS to management of all 576 physical hosts. Now a days the university is delivering IaaS for all staff, students, teachers and researchers, they are using these resources to delivery services to their clients and have a great results in research area
