It provides access to private and public clouds. I would like to be able to select the best private cloud.
I would like to be able to select the best private cloud to use in terms of service and cost. If I need to put an application on the cloud, I would like to know which provider to use. I would like to know the best option for this application.
Adam Elguennioui - PeerSpot reviewer
SAP Consultant at SA&BC
Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer. In the future, the tool can be made faster. In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Helion Being backed by a vendor (HPE) rather than vanilla openstack gives us a little more confidence that the product is now at a level of maturity where we are happy to start consuming open technologies."
"The most valuable feature is our access to private and public clouds."
"HPE Helion provides access to world-class personnel and skill sets, and their ability to perform repeatedly at a high standard provides a positive experience."
"We have many more services, including self-service, and we don't have to call IT and wait for weeks or months for service, which is the biggest benefit for our business."
"It's improved the delivery of services to our clients, and I believe my clients get new business and better performance."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"It offers easy provisioning, and we were able to get a server up and running in an hour."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"The most valuable feature of the product is being able to test on multiple platforms for Oracle, for VMware, and so on."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"The Oracle Java Cloud Service has enabled our developers to focus on what they do best: developing modern Java applications."
 

Cons

"Some improvements I think are needed are greater stability and more up to date packages."
"We need improvements for more hybrid use. Right now, the system is very focused on pay-as-you-go cloud services, and our customers are looking for more a hybrid use."
"I would like to be able to select the best private cloud to use in terms of service and cost."
"If they could reduce the cost, that would be good as there is much competition, and many companies and organizations are looking to reduce costs."
"With a lot of the services we use, we need a single dashboard that could do more."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"Some of the automated platform patches broke our existing functionality and we were not notified about it."
"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"
"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."
"It needs to have the ability to create a service with the same name as another one when the initial creation failed as sometimes it's necessary to have a service with exact name."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
