Likelihood to Recommend	Canonical Ltd Ubuntu OpenStack is well suited for startups where there are very tight financial constraints. As Ubuntu OpenStack is open source, the startup organizations will not have to spend a lot when compared to their commercial offerings in the market. Ubuntu OpenStack is less appropriate in organizations where they don't want to have private on-prem clouds. As deploying a private on-prem cloud is a very cumbersome and tedious task, the organizations must have a dedicated team to manage such on-prem deployments.

Pros	Canonical Ltd Very easy to use, learning curve is very short. Don't need to invest months of training before using it Well suited with Jenkins for automated tests Works well on large sets of heterogeneous hardware Verified User Read full review	OpenMetal No answers on this topic
Cons	Canonical Ltd More customizable options while choosing virtual machine configurations would be great. To have regular online learning sessions directly from Ubuntu OpenStack experts [to] help users and for those who implement it. Giving admin more control on what privileges they can grant to their users. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	OpenMetal No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Canonical Ltd Everybody knows VMWare which is the world's number one in data center infrastructure management. OpenStack is lot lot less expensive but doesn't offer all the functionalities you have with VMWare especially for High Availability and load balancing. You should go for OpenStack if you need an easy to use solution without the need for external consultants. If you don't have the capacity to manage your own infrastructure you had better go for VMWare. Verified User Read full review	OpenMetal No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Canonical Ltd Lighter on initial spending for the organization. Deployments which have no vendor locking makes management decisions easier. Support from great community saved lot of time for engineers managing it. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	OpenMetal No answers on this topic
