    Mirantis
    Mirantis is well suited for someone who doesn't mind spending money but doesn't quite want to commit to a cloud provider like AWS. It is also well suited for small or junior technical teams that don't have the skills, experience, or time to run their own openstack clusters.

    Red Hat
    Best suited for - any organization where you have people who already have expertise on OpenStack, Linux & IP networking. Otherwise, the maintenance & operations will be difficult. When the number of deployed VMs reaches its capacity, it becomes very difficult to manage Red Hat OpenStack because there are no in-built fault management & performance management tools available within Red Hat OpenStack. Not suited for - Organizations where people have a culture of working on automated GUI-based tools. Here VMware wins over Red Hat OpenStack. Also where you have mission-critical applications where downtime cannot be tolerated.

    Cons
    Mirantis
    • Mirantis OpenStack managed services are expensive. Very expensive for a start-up.
    • I'd personally like to see a little more under the hood details in the status pages.
    • Mirantis could also benefit heavily from a free "light" version that start-ups could use to run their own cloud. Maybe coupled with advertising or some sort of surveys.

    Red Hat
    • User management really needs improvement - when compared to AWS or GCP.
    • Security of the overall platform needs to be improved.
    • The whole architecture needs to be modular which is not. Ex - Upgrading any particular component (nova, neutron, cinder) should be possible without upgrading the whole Red Hat OpenStack version.
    • The creation of HEAT templates for complex applications is still a challenge & has a dependency on external tools.
    • Stack creation still requires parameters modification at controllers & compute because of the complex nova-scheduler algorithm.

    Return on Investment
    Mirantis
    • Mirantis did help our business figure out if openstack was right for us.
    • Using Mirantis I felt a bit cheated on understanding the deep technical knowledge of how openstack works. But that being said that is probably a value add more than a detractor for most people.
    • Using Mirantis was considerably cheaper than AWS.

    • Saved CAPEX for sure (I can't quote a figure).
    • Saved Opex also - because a large support community is already available.
    • Increased complexity of system setup though.
