A highly scalable and stable tool that provides good technical support and enables users to manage and optimize resources
The product was handed over to us with pre-installed configurations. We just mounted our server in the rack and enabled the connectivity. The initial setup was quite easy to manage. We are using a private cloud to optimize our hospital management system. We have discussed with the vendor the solution's scalability from private to public cloud for our future needs. All the infrastructure was installed within 15 days.

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

"For the customers I work with, it provides flexibility as far as storage is concerned, so it's security and access."
"When I started using CloudSphere, it wasn't mature, and it had multiple issues. For example, my team experienced server issues while using the solution, but recently, I noticed how much CloudSphere has improved. There used to be some latency issues with CloudSphere. It even gave error messages in the past when you select an option such as "the web server is not responding", but it has improved a lot, and now I don't get any errors from CloudSphere. What I like best about CloudSphere is that it has a lot of beneficial features, and it has a single pane for managing multi-cloud environments, which I find very helpful, and it's the main benefit you can get from CloudSphere."
"We do not need to install any appliances or any agents."
"The product is helpful for the management, optimization, and utilization of resources."
"Provides multiple kinds of services for managing the clouds of multiple customers."
"The most valuable feature of Morpheus is its strong integration with vSphere Cloud."
"Provides a good automation platform."
"The most valuable feature for me was cost optimization."
"The user interface of the application is exceptional."
"Morpheus is an intuitive solution that is very easy to use."
"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."
"The multi-cloud integrations and the DevOps and operational integrations are the most valuable. Morpheus platform is a centralized set to manage different clouds and your on-premise platforms. It does a very good job of what it is designed to do. It is very good in terms of features. It is extremely stable and easy to install. It is also very scalable. Their support is also extremely good."
"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."
 

Cons

"The next feature I would like to have full disclosure of what's being done with the data."
"The main issue I experienced from CloudSphere was recently resolved, but an area for improvement in the solution is that it lacks the functionality of migrating resources from one public cloud to another. If CloudSphere could provide that functionality, that would be very beneficial to users and companies."
"The solution must have a single management console for the resources and VMs."
"When we start the scanning of, for example, 500 servers, it will not handle the scan. We need to differentiate the jobs - for example, one job for 100 servers, a second job for another 100 servers, et cetera."
"There are quite a number of services that can't be deployed using CloudSphere."
"The service is limited and somewhat lacking."
"Morpheus can be improved, particularly from an analytics standpoint."
"We had to put in much effort ourselves since Morpheus's support wasn't always available to help us."
"Morpheus is working hard on creating an integration framework due for release in Q2 2021 which will allow clients to create their own interfaces and integrations into any 3rd party product that has a full-function API. Morpheus is also heavily focussed on enhancing the container management side to compete head-to-head with Openshift and CloudForms in Q3 2021."
"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."
"We've been facing some challenges with Morpheus due to its design for public cloud usage."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It depends on how that model will be used. It might be anywhere between $4 and $15 per license per month. It’s less expensive than other options."
"The product is very expensive."
"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."
"Initially, the license may seem like a good deal, but as we grow, it becomes costly."
"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."

What do you like most about Morpheus?
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.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Morpheus?
We've been a Morpheus customer since the early days. I know what they're trying to sell now, and you'd really need a strong use case to justify the cost.
What needs improvement with Morpheus?
Morpheus can be improved, particularly from an analytics standpoint. The cost insight feature is really good, but I think advanced FinOps features could be a bit stronger. I would like to add more ...
