Helps design blueprints in a cloud environment but the support is a major problem
One of the major problems is that support is not so good. I used to have a support expert in Spain but they left two years ago. BMC doesn't invest a lot in network automation but network automation is a major point in CLM. There aren't any experts here in Europe, maybe they have in America, I don't know. The main problem is the support in Europe. We had a lot of problems with the people who got put on our cases. The agents that we were assigned to were not so capable. They wanted to replicate the problem. If you have an incident, it takes a lot of time to troubleshoot the problem. The incident support is not so good. The technicians don't know the platform well. BMC doesn't want to invest in CLM. Two years ago we had a lot of problems. Maybe BMC realized that CLM is an end of life product.

Unified cloud governance has reduced provisioning time and simplifies multi-tenant operations
Morpheus offers several best features. The multi-cloud abstraction layer is definitely one of the best because there is a single pane of glass for all the different cloud providers. You don't need separate tooling in place. Morpheus is an MSP-friendly platform where we can have multi-tenancy, role-based access control, metering, chargeback, and showback. The user interface of the application is really good. Tenants can easily log in and see their specific environment. We can create white labeling for each of the VMs or deployments. The deployments of VMs are made really easy, and the user interface is appreciated by all new users who log into the platform and see the ease of provisioning a new virtual machine with a predefined template. Out of those features, the one that has had the biggest impact for my team and clients is, from the MSP perspective, definitely the most helpful because, as an MSP ourselves, we handle multiple end customers and clients. Our teams, because they handle multiple customers, didn't have to switch from one platform to another. They could leverage Morpheus and manage their end customers. The second aspect I would point out is the governance and policy engine functionality, where we could leverage quotas, put in a tagging strategy, and security policies in the environment. That really helped. Third, it also helped to decrease manual workflow because we had created different workflows and policies which were all automated. So it highly reduced the day-to-day activities which our operations teams used to conduct. Morpheus has positively impacted my organization by really helping to reduce provisioning times from days to minutes, which is one of the value-adds we also tell to our customers. Second, it has allowed our MSP teams to compartmentalize the tenants in a secure fashion. Third, it has decreased all manual workflow overhead which our operations team used to feel. Morpheus policy enforcement aspect has been really helpful because it has helped lower operational risk. Finally, it enables self-service workflow without sacrificing control over the different environments.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We have many regions where more than 10000 servers are deployed, so it helps in patching and hardening of servers."
"CLM has a multi-cloud portal because they have the resources to implement in various environments in various ports."
"It's helped us with our automation."
"Total build time has been reduced from four weeks to one week, then later to 24 hours."
"Integrates role-based access control with pre-configured policies for CIS, DISA, HIPAA, PCI, SOX, NIST, and SCAP documentation and remediation."
"Assesses change impact or completes an audit using multiple dashboard views."
"You can tie together your public and private cloud infrastructure into a "single pane of glass"."
"Automates Java EE Application Deployment from an SCM system."
"It supports many features, and it also supports some of the automation that Cloudify supports. So, in addition to just giving you basic platform management—such as the ability to deploy virtual machines and have multitenancy to log in and perform all of your basic platform management tasks—it also supports automation. You can, for example, spin up three virtual machines, and you can have each virtual machine configure each other. You can do service chaining with it. You can run scripts in Dash and Python, or you can use tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef. All of this is just built into the tool. It is a very powerful tool."
"Morpheus is an intuitive solution that is very easy to use."
"Morpheus has positively impacted my organization by really helping to reduce provisioning times from days to minutes, which is one of the value-adds we also tell to our customers."
"The most valuable feature of Morpheus is its strong integration with vSphere Cloud."
"The user interface of the application is exceptional."
"Provides a good automation platform."
"In my organization, Morpheus is a very useful tool to automate processes—for example, provisioning new virtual machines reduces the time required, and every action is very fast using Morpheus, allowing me to prepare new environments for testing or proof-of-concept projects."
"The most beneficial features for us were the API integrations with various cloud vendors like Nutanix, VMware, AWS, Azure, and GCP. It saved us the effort of doing that work ourselves."
 

Cons

"One of the major problems is that support is not so good."
"Going to BMC for PS is not at all recommended from my experience."
"The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."
"It was complex as it does not include a good, extensive feasibility and compatibility guide."
"The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."
"One of the major problems is that support is not so good."
"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
"I faced a few problems while deploying."
"The product has become overly complex. The biggest problem is that we find a bug, they fix the bug, but then another one pops up. We can never really deliver on the vision we had using Morpheus."
"We've been facing some challenges with Morpheus due to its design for public cloud usage."
"There is room for enhancement in integrating Morpheus with other solutions."
"I would suggest adding integrated tools such as FinOps or other management tools as improvements to Morpheus."
"The solution's pricing and customization need to improve."
"The service is limited and somewhat lacking."
"We had to put in much effort ourselves since Morpheus's support wasn't always available to help us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Initially, the license may seem like a good deal, but as we grow, it becomes costly."
"Licensing is on an annual basis, and it is upfront for the year. There is no extra cost unless you want additional support or specific deployment packs."
"Morpheus doesn't directly support cost optimization, but its API integration can facilitate resource optimization. It doesn't dynamically optimize resources like an aeronautic system would; it operates step by step."
"The license is based on the number of virtual machines that Morpheus is managing. So, it is a pay-as-you-grow model."
"The solution is cheaper if you have less number of servers, but it becomes very expensive for a large number of servers."
